I have never seen hay bailed so smartly! All in one pass!! I remember so many times growing up I followed someone driving the truck while I picked up and tossed in or stacked bales of hay that was scattered all over the field. It was hot hard work and you went home tired, but it was a good tired. I have to admit I really miss that life.
All this GPS, TV monitors, sprayers, bale pads, and the A/C black tinted glass on a tractor! I had a old Farmal, dropped the bales on the ground, or used the kicker into the wagon, what a difference in 50 years! Awesome.
Like others have said, she is a pretty lady, but from what I see and hear that beauty is not superficial. The most important thing about a woman is her heart. If you have her heart..... you have everything... You're very lucky man!
I like the set-up u have. raking, bailing and keeping em straight all in one go. back in the day, we had 3 tractors one to make our windrows, one to bail, and one to pull the wagon while I loaded, and it was picked up off the ground loaded and unloaded by hand. worked my butt off all day for $3.00 and hr. for me, as a young teen that was good money. sure wish we had this set-up 30 yrs. ago. I was actually glad when everyone in our area went to round bails. made my work so much easier.
Frannie ...I know what you mean .. i'm 51 now and we piked those bales all day every day 35 yrs ago ... Hello from the Emerald Isle ...Farming is farming no matter where
I remember when my father would tie the square knot to connect 2 balls of twine, he would crush the knot with his pliers and pull it tighter multiple times and then trim the tails short. Still had a few pull out in the knotter. I like your setup for small squares. Still a lot of work and time but you've made it pretty efficient.
we used a in place bailer at the barn. the loose hay arrived, it was off loaded and we bailed it. we used wire to time the bales, inserted block to make the bail lengths. a few time I tied the block to the bales. after a few chewing out from my dad I got it right that was old time hay baling. love the work.
Wow, am I old. When I was young we had to rake the hay and then go in and bale it. Time has passed me by.lol My dad had a great New Holland 278 baler. That thing could swallow as much hay as you could shove into it.
I sure like watching this woman do her thing while doing all these things at one time. they say that women are better at multitasking and this sure shows it. Love your videos and everything that you post god bless and thank you both.
This method of doing everything in one pass is very cool. It would have meant in my youth I would not have been making money throwing bales onto the the wagon and into the barn. 🙂🙂
Think i even sead we should try this back wen we did hey and he sead we just dont do all at once because of speeds one to fast one to slow. Plus we picked the the bails into the wagon and picked them into the barn
dejanira2 yes you would have because this is worthless, now they have to pick them back up off the ground and haul them and store them. what a waste of time
Back in the day (50's) as teenagers we hauled hay from the field and into a lot for $.03 cents per bail. We kept count of the bails and if we hauled, say 300 bailes in a day we earned $9.00 each. The more haulers we had the more hay we could haul in a day. Those were good wages for a high school kid. Probably equal to $100.00 in todays money. Gasoline was about $.15-.18 cents per gallon, hamburgers were $.25 cents each. Small ones were $.15 cents each. Every little town had a mom and pop cafe that served a large plate lunch for around $.75 which included tea. My favorite always was, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes with lots of white gravy, pinto beans and cornbread. Everything was made from scratch in those days. If you lived in the 50's in rural Texas you will understand but if you didn't, well you missed a lot.
I'd haul hay for 20 dollars a day... before the crack of dawn, all the way to sundown...also besides the 20 dollars we'd get a full square meal of chicken and dumplings with a slice of apple pie...those were the best years of hauling hay
Yes,I had two plugs the 3rd cutting.Once I forgot to engage the PTO,the other was a total clog.It took almost 45 minutes in the 98 degree Georgia heat to get going again.The windrow was very large and the bail monitor stopped increasing in diameter I looked back and O Good Grief! It just shows you never know what Farming gone throw at ya.Good to see Y'all getting it done, and doing it so well! Thanks
I sure enjoy watching your videos. My wife says I'd never catch her doing farm work. (She's spoiled, kinda, and never had to work a job in our 35 years of marriage; except all the work involved in raising my three kids and our two. That's hard work!) This old Vietnam vet retired from the Southern Pacific Railroad as a conductor.
I love Southern Pacific Railroad I am a Railfan from Washington state S.P. had Cab Forward steam locomotives. I also love ANY S.P. diesel locomotives. stewartlarry105@gmail.com
Great videos, I like the one pass outfit idea saves a lot of time, we had to roll them together then stack them when we were kids in north west England, your wife can sure handle that tractor and beautiful too ya lucky man ha ha.
George Dyer most females are lazy and try harder to get out of work than just doing it. .. it took me a long time to figure this out but there only two types of females that will be by a mans side and get things done ,, #1 a good country girl / #2 a biker girl and that’s it . End of the road for the rest of them ..
Interesting how those spinning "rakes" work. Never have see anything like that before. Thanks for sharing and I hope she got it all done for you. Amazing!
Bailing hay have come a long ways from the 1960's when we had to do all of this by hand. That was cutting, raking, and bailing it, especially the Coaster Bermuda which was the heaviest to work with.
just ran across your channel. interesting, never seen raking and bailing on same pull, also the accumulator is interesting, we always had to pick up and load on trailer, of course we didnt bail but 300 to 400 hundred at a time in GA! thanks, I enjoyed watching and subscribed!
Ahhh! I hate it when I plug the pickup! Hopefully the square baler doesn’t pull it in as tight as the round balers do... lol That’s a good 30 min downtime for me. But your right, it happens. Just pull the mess out and keep rolling. Y’all seriously have some of the most beautiful hay I’ve seen down here! You might claim that you don’t know what your doing but buddy, your doing something right! Lol Thank y’all for sharing!
We always raked when the hay was still damp, to prevent knocking off the leaves. If we waited till it was ready to bale, we would lose a lot of the leaves.
Im A New Holland And Cash Ih Guy, But I Must Say That The Deere Looks Really Good, The Tinted Glass Looks Great. Good Video, Keep Up The Good Work. Merry Christmas.
Have you thought about getting some sideroll sprinklers? You would still be moving a hose but you could get a lot more irrigation done in one pass and you wouldn't have to pull those reels around.
It's great to see things done the American way still, by that I mean kid's now a days are afraid to get their hands dirty or set their phones down. I grew up in a coal region and todays society is lazy and scared of work, who's gonna do this when we're gone? Snowflakes have to melt. Sorry to say. Great Vid
I love the videos! My dad always said I would make a great farmer's wife but never could find that farmer LOL. I did find a John but he ain't no Farmer LOL. We are both learning farm life together. We purchased a tractor and now we are at a point to testing soil I guess. Any suggestions or tips for the newbies would be so awesome.
looks like dragging them bales in that bale gathering deal would be hard on the strings but watching from where i am at 1000's of miles away from a video i am not seeing it right
Wow you guys are really kicking them out of that baler. What is a good average amount of bales you can do in a hour? Is that preservative expensive to apply? Thanks for the videos I really enjoy them
I have never seen hay bailed so smartly! All in one pass!! I remember so many times growing up I followed someone driving the truck while I picked up and tossed in or stacked bales of hay that was scattered all over the field. It was hot hard work and you went home tired, but it was a good tired. I have to admit I really miss that life.
I grew up on the farm as a kid lots of square bales, we pulled a wagon behind hand stacked.
Awesome memories!
Sheldon Walton yes same here for two summers..
Yeah, try and find some youth to to cart hay today, Good Luck! Great Vid.
All this GPS, TV monitors, sprayers, bale pads, and the A/C black tinted glass on a tractor! I had a old Farmal, dropped the bales on the ground, or used the kicker into the wagon, what a difference in 50 years! Awesome.
It's a little different
Probably the best set up I’ve ever seen all in one performance,,, perfectly done,,
I appreciate that
Like others have said, she is a pretty lady, but from what I see and hear that beauty is not superficial. The most important thing about a woman is her heart. If you have her heart..... you have everything... You're very lucky man!

+Barry Chouinard I'm not sure there is a fool proof way to tie and have them not hang or come loose 100% of the time, thanks for watching
Very efficient 2 people balling hay. I would not have thought this would happen back in the 1960s farming in Wisconsin. It looks so relaxing.
Thanks, we try to have a good time
She has the prettiest smile and very nice to look at!

+dejanira2 that's back when it was real work
Mid 60's for me, I have also picked apples, cucumbers, cotton, drove silage trucks glad I didn't have to do that for life.
dejanira2 yes it is i just pased this to run into the kitchen iterupt dads movie to have him take a look wondering y the fuck we never did this
Think i even sead we should try this back wen we did hey and he sead we just dont do all at once because of speeds one to fast one to slow. Plus we picked the the bails into the wagon and picked them into the barn
dejanira2 yes you would have because this is worthless, now they have to pick them back up off the ground and haul them and store them. what a waste of time
she is, she's a beautiful lady because of attitude first and then you notice the total package, a true star.
+John Ford I agree she is, thanks
Awesome video! Thank you for posting
Wow- there's a lot goin on behind that tractor! You kids make about the best team I've had the pleasure of watching- love watching perfection!!!!
+belinda turner she's perfect I'm just trying to live up.
Pulling 3 different machines in one time . That mean save fuel cost and time. I did enjoyed watching your video.. Thanks for post.
Thanks for watching
Nice rig. I like how it was teddered and now it's being raked and baled at the same time.

I rase on a farm we cut most of fead love waching your videos raking baling same timegod bless all
That’s the very best accumulator made, no cylinders no oil. No nothing, just flop the door and do it again
Exactly
Yes,I had two plugs the 3rd cutting.Once I forgot to engage the PTO,the other was a total clog.It took almost 45 minutes in the 98 degree Georgia heat to get going again.The windrow was very large and the bail monitor stopped increasing in diameter I looked back and O Good Grief! It just shows you never know what Farming gone throw at ya.Good to see Y'all getting it done, and doing it so well! Thanks
William Brewer thanks for watching. Anyone who bales will clog a baler at one point or another.
Another good Video. Was interesting in how the collector dropped a load and there it was in the video. Like your wife talking.
Thanks
You go sister!! I have never seen that done before and you're operating an amazing machine. Lookes like a fun job too. Thanks for the demo.
Thank you for watching

+tractor180350 I have been blessed
Lovely tractor....want one!
I like that you trust your wife on the rake and baler. If I asked my wife to bale, she would bail out!
George Dyer she does a better job than I could.

Wow that new tractor is so quiet inside! You two are a great team, and Scott you're becoming quite the cameraman/ commentator! God bless y'all ...
+peter dugas thank you, I don't know if it's just because it's new or JD just makes a quiet tractor.
Interesting how those spinning "rakes" work. Never have see anything like that before. Thanks for sharing and I hope she got it all done for you. Amazing!
Thanks for watching
now I know what sprigging is never heard of it before, ready for more videos
Thanks for watching
Love you guys and your channel from central New York been a tough hay season here but putting our equipment away for the season keep the videos coming
Mike Ryan thank you, I'm looking forward to putting my equipment away for the season. It's been tough here also
It's funny how balers work even our old school New Holland baler will remind you if the hay isn't ready yet looks like things haven't changed much yet
Where in Central NY?
Mike Ryan I think the tie mechanism is pretty much the same as the day it was invented.
Anthony Pirrello Madison County
She got a sweet tractor and set up ,haying has come a long way
Yes it is and yes it has
Good to see you again, very nice video, thanks for posting this.
Thanks for watching
that's one nice setup and the tractor looks comfortable too
It's nice!
Pretty women goes with the southern accent. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
+Karl Knapstein 10-4
She handles that machine very well. Also, she is a cutie and a honey bun. 😀
lovetrain442 do you know what a honey bun is ?? It’s a sticky butt crack . I was told . I really don’t know but it sounds right..
Thanks for letting us watch.
Douglass Wilkin just hope we aren't too boring
Love the way u get along your awesome
+Roger Jennings it's not all sunshine and roses
Very effective tint on the cab glass. Keep them coming.
+fergie35X thanks
Buddy you sure have real good Wife that helps out with the work load... lucky guy 4Sure .
+Dinoxt12 I am, thanks
Good have wife bale hay she keeper God bless your family
Bailing hay have come a long ways from the 1960's when we had to do all of this by hand. That was cutting, raking, and bailing it, especially the Coaster Bermuda which was the heaviest to work with.
+Sidney Mathious it has come a long ways. Thank you for watching and commenting
Man that's a sharp looking Deere!!!!
+Tommy Boy they make a beautiful tractor
Tommy Boy you mean a two legged. White tail Deere ?
just ran across your channel. interesting, never seen raking and bailing on same pull, also the accumulator is interesting, we always had to pick up and load on trailer, of course we didnt bail but 300 to 400 hundred at a time in GA! thanks, I enjoyed watching and subscribed!
I have to agree with you, she is definitely very nice to look at 😎😍😂👍👍🇺🇸👌
That accumulator or whatever its called is cool! I had no idea they had something like that. Great videos man!
+Deric Kettel thank you
Ahhh! I hate it when I plug the pickup! Hopefully the square baler doesn’t pull it in as tight as the round balers do... lol That’s a good 30 min downtime for me. But your right, it happens. Just pull the mess out and keep rolling.
Y’all seriously have some of the most beautiful hay I’ve seen down here! You might claim that you don’t know what your doing but buddy, your doing something right! Lol Thank y’all for sharing!
+Joel Ground thank you for the compliment. Square baler doesn't plug as bad as a round baler thank goodness.
P
Yes sir!!!
I never operated ivt transmission. I'm used to quad, power quad and power shift. Old school I guess. Lol
I can see how ivt would be handy!
+Tommy Boy just makes the day more enjoyable
That is quite a setup for baling hay. I used to have to throw them on the wagon and in the hay mow
+Allan Hunter thanks. You did it the old school way, I would pass out if I had to load by hand
That was fun, when we bale so long would stop for refreshments and Watkins drink about 15 min.
The John Deere looks great with the tinted cab glass.I bet it keeps it cooler in the hot sun.
+Paul Wagner better than I thought
Paul Wagner you think ?
Beautiful sight, gorgeous wife working the fields with her husband...
+tdo7d11 it's a dream come true
Live the dream pal!
Ooooh weee she's a mean one!😂😂😂😂
10-4
Whenever we had broken bales, we'd just pull the twine, re-rake then re-bale. Never had issues doing that as others would like to claim it does.
+TsmnnDvl5 we spread them out a little just so it doesn't suck up multiple flakes and pop a shear pin.
That is one good looking rig!
+David Harris thanks
Id rathef be baling hay than some other things you could be doing on a farm! Maybe farming is a great outside job always liked it!!!
There is just something about ladies and trackers and pickup trucks you are beautiful girl
WoW that takes a good size Breed 👌
My son has that same tractor but without the cab .
We always raked when the hay was still damp, to prevent knocking off the leaves. If we waited till it was ready to bale, we would lose a lot of the leaves.
It's on my "Someday Wishlist" haha
Im A New Holland And Cash Ih Guy, But I Must Say That The Deere Looks Really Good, The Tinted Glass Looks Great. Good Video, Keep Up The Good Work. Merry Christmas.
+Chad Bergman case and new holland make good tractors. Thanks for watching and commenting
Love that setup
Nice job¡¡¡
Thanks
that looked like fun cleaning a plugged baler.LOL. like my heston baler uless it pluggs. they seem harder to clean out.
+Howard Younger the 1839 and 1840 are easy to clean out because that back door comes off.
Nice operation ya'll got there
Thanks
Have you thought about getting some sideroll sprinklers? You would still be moving a hose but you could get a lot more irrigation done in one pass and you wouldn't have to pull those reels around.
+smcox1991 the area I'm covering isn't square enough for those. I mainly just water strips my center pivots don't reach.
I would love to have a hay operation like you have someday.
+Myron Parks it's been a long road
North Texas Hay How many acres do you own/farm?
+Myron Parks there is 225 here and I farm 155
Good set-up..
Thanks
Man I would love to do straw that way.
you living the dream
Yes I do, better than I deserve
the joy of small square bales
46Rambo true words
triangle bales might stack better don't you think..... idiot!
if you have diaper on you won't have to stop for anything. What do you think
What a beautiful lady!
Thank you sir
Losing a couple bales isn't bad at all. The important thing was getting the job done and beating the weather.

Much better. I will subscribe now, Haha.
Love that Deere and your Wife hahaha
mac dawg we have something in common
it must get hottt were you all are that tractor is tinted out big time looks cool in there
+Raymond J regularly over 100 during the summer
yea im in the carolina its same way here stay safe !!!
Irrelevant point here; but the song at 6:31 is West End Girls by the Pet Shop Boys.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT
good afternoon
truly a beautiful woman thank you sweetheart for being you
She is really cute
+Allan Hunter I think so too
It's great to see things done the American way still, by that I mean kid's now a days are afraid to get their hands dirty or set their phones down. I grew up in a coal region and todays society is lazy and scared of work, who's gonna do this when we're gone? Snowflakes have to melt. Sorry to say. Great Vid
I have not seen your husband for a long time since I have not watched videos for a long time
Never heard of spraying the hay
She is easy on the eye's
Tlc Landscaping yes sir
North Texas Hay awesome to see a husband wife team like you guy's, I'm impressed
+Tlc Landscaping yes sir
+Tlc Landscaping thank you
Not!
Your Dad taught her well...!
I love the videos! My dad always said I would make a great farmer's wife but never could find that farmer LOL. I did find a John but he ain't no Farmer LOL. We are both learning farm life together. We purchased a tractor and now we are at a point to testing soil I guess. Any suggestions or tips for the newbies would be so awesome.
I think that windrow would choke the balers I remember from the fifties!
+Marvin Doolin we try to shove it in as fast as she'll take it.
i notice that equal pay for equal work is sitting in the cab!!!
+Skip Calta lol!
I think you answered my question when I saw what happened at 9:20
I miss farming
+Bill Powell I hope I never have to say those words.
Bill Powell I don’t
That is a pretty efficient baling operation train yo have going on............
+Speedster1919 thank you
I thought they made all round bales now.
Remember: pie r round, cornbread r square.
OLF could take a lesson from you. You should pack a small pitch fork around on the baler just for those times @ 9:25.
+DesertDigger1 good idea, thanks
What is the highest moisture you bale before you use crop saver?
I drive a car with a CVT and I can just imagine what it would be like having that on farm equipment.
+Khadijah Brown it's wonderful
Years ago I told a gal in Ft. Worth I was from Minnesota she said what part of Texas is that.
So there.
Lol!
looks like dragging them bales in that bale gathering deal would be hard on the strings but watching from where i am at 1000's of miles away from a video i am not seeing it right
I've never had an issue with it, but with my luck it's coming
Wow you guys are really kicking them out of that baler. What is a good average amount of bales you can do in a hour? Is that preservative expensive to apply? Thanks for the videos I really enjoy them
+Johndeere5065 around 350 bales per hour and the spray is about 6.25 cents per bale. Thanks for watching
