Never thought 50+ years later I would look back with fondness on baling hay with my Dad and brother. Back then it was a hot sweaty never ending job with cows to milk before and after every day.
In in noisy world where so many want to be ego-driven stars, I love the quiet, efficient, humility of the Amish. They get so much done with so little noise. And I love the way they work with their horses. Thanks so much for posting these! I am a fan.
And from what I've seen where I live and was fixing to comment about, they do not treat their horse's very well. I went by one of their places one day going to town and they had a horse tied to a tree with only a foot of rope. That meant the horse couldn't move at all. And this was in the summer. It was not a big tree. No protection from the sun. No water, nothing. I was gone for several hours and on the way back, it was still there. They do not care. And don't ever believe because they are Amish that they never do anything wrong. In Illinois they have shut down several dog breeders that have huge kennel's because of inhumane treatment. And if you ever saw those dog's you would be disgusted. It's awful. I'm sure you can find what they do on UA-cam. They only care about money, they don't respect the animals that help make their money. I'm sure their are good people in the Amish, just like everyone else, but quit thinking they are perfect because they are Amish. And, I was going to comment on the tail's hair being cut off on these horse's. They are made that way for a reason. They use their tales to keep the fly's off of them and I'm sure other reasons. Just the same as God making our Body part's for a certain reason.
Brings back good memories of riding the hay wagon. We were not Amish and therefore used a tractor but our bailer was so old it had its own motor. No kicker either. We had to pull and stack the bales with hooks and stack them just like on this video. Wish I could go back fifty years and do it again!
My grandparents did this by hand, making big haystacks with the pitchfork and than collecting it with a horse drawn carriage and i had to help... Was a hard but good childhood and work.
Alexadru Chiheri that’s the thing they have very communal. That’s the way we all should be. As far as how they do stuff some is very silly but as a community they are strong. Remember they are still people not all of them should be trusted.
Watching the guy buck those square bales on the trailer takes me back to my childhood days on the farm. I wish I'd have appreciated those good times more back then.
They are growing in technology. I think it’s a good thing, but I so much enjoy watching the way they can be prosperous without technology. They are strong in the old ways of living. I hope it doesn’t get lost, as I think a lot of farmers/people can learn from them.
thank you greatly for posting this. At the time, I thought the work was grueling but necessary. It had though a wholeness and wholesomeness I don't get off of the farm working in the medical field. The fundamental component that made it bearable and often satisfying was the sense of doing this in relationship to others, from family and neighbors to the horses and fields, even the "ecosystem."
Ya growing up on the farm we too put hay in our hip roofed barn when it was super hot!! But baling the way the Amish do would be a blast!! I have A LOT OF RESPECT for all the Amish people!!
If you've ever been around these people, you know that their whole way of life is a well ordered and very strictly sanctioned discipline. Everything they do is ordered according to the community in which they live. It's healthy, clean, does very little or no harm to others, and they have an abiding faith in both G-d and family. I know many of these people, and they are happy, healthy, and pleased with who they are.
J Shawhan they put on a good front. Ask those of us who live amongst them, including the police. They abuse their animals and act like they are more special in God's eyes.
J Shawhan and your point? What I said is true. And what is a "good" person since you say they are good people? Don't most people do some good things and some bad things?? WHAT I SAID IS TRUE. Are you going to argue till midnight?
Great video - thanks for bringing it to us. Takes me back to baling hay on the farm where I grew up in Indiana. We used tractors instead of horses in the 1950's, but otherwise the process was the same.
Pretty green looking hay. I will bet it gets hot as it dry out. I never put up any hay that green in my life - just to big a chance of fire. I usually left the cut hay in the field at least 3 days to dry out, sometimes longer but it was brown when I be led it and even then I worried about fire for a month or two.
You couldn't have baled much hay John Clarke or fed it to milking cows. Did you see the dust coming from that baler? We used to bale 2nd and 3rd cutting alfalfa, that when all was going right, was as nice and green as could be but dry. Your animals must have loved that brown "straw" hay in the winter.
I guess a little tech made it in. That's ok, they are still busting their butts. It's not a GPS controlled unit with wifi and air conditioning, they are still hard core old school. Bravo!
The farm looks like it is probably a Mennonite farm. As the Mennonites are "brethren," the Amish will work for their Mennonite cousins but unlike the Amish, the Mennonites CAN drive, use machinery, and have electricity. They will often bring their power equipment to help their Amish neighbors in return.
Oh yes mowing, raking and baling hay in the hot summer sun. The real fun is for those who are in the hay·mow stacking up to the roof of barn, HOT HOT HOT.
I like it, I was rise on the dairy farm, and my father was using horses befor I born and he was chatting about horses. Now I m Military and I would like to go back on the farm.
Tractor, traction, pulling the tractor around? No. The traction has nothing to do with powering the baler. The reason for their comprises comes from necessity. Financial to be exact. They are plagued by mafia who bleed them dry by extortion methods "protection rackets". In order to satisfy these criminal agencies the God fearing Amish must adapt certain modern meyhods. You braindead debt slaves call these Mafioso "government " and their extortion proceeds "taxes". The public indoctrination houses have done their job well here in America.
No it's about farming like their grandfathers did. They had hit and miss engines to power things such as furniture shops , mills etc. The power unit is fine. Riding the power unit isn't. I've hauled Nice tractors in for sawmill power. Blocked up wheels removed and their it sat. I've hauled tractors in for using their vacuum to run milk parlors blocked up wheels off, tractors to run sileage blowers. Two kinds the stationary with she'd built over it block up wheels off. And even helped mount one to a wagon, no wheels on tractor to be pulled by horses from farm to farm. I've Never being beat out of a cent by any Amish person. Wish I could say the same about non Amish.
@@bellydump-hf7ec you watch too much (fake) reality TV. I live close to a Amish area and i can tell you when you pay 3-5 million dollars in cash for a farm, you are in no financial jeopardy!
We baled a lot of hay when I was a kid too. Never got paid at all since it was on our own farm, lol. I once made the mistake of wearing shorts and a tee shirt for the job and never did I ever repeat that mistake no matter how hot it was , LOL!
Rebel9668 Should've worked on arm strength more. I wore shorts and no shirt from 13 until I got past 50. You can pick hay up without rubbing it all over you, it's all in the arms. Just sayin
Rebel9668 I still hay in shorts and no shirt or cutoffs sleeves. Yes I do get scratched but I only do 20 acres or so anymore. I have to laugh at the kids I hire they were exposed to hay. Very tough kids until they get about 2hours into it. Then I here can we please slow down. 😂😂😂😂😓😓😓😓🤣🤣
this would be great for someone who is harvesting 1-20 acres but man I can't imagine more with horses. just because of the horses. they need rest too and water. But I commend the Amish!! I wish I grew up Amish, just so I could know the things they know. like patch work. and different breads to make. I bake and I sew but nothing like the amish women. They have my respect.
What's the problem? They are working hard, living life the way they want to. Not running around telling everyone what they should do, what they should believe, who they should vote for, asking for money on TV. Building stadium size churches so they can get more converts. I think shunning technology is a bit foolish, but I can see why they do it.
Dana Smith they only tell in regards to what affects them. Just like parents want school boards to spend money on whatever their kids excel in. I live amongst Amish and proud to call serval friends. I was on local school board 12 years. Parents demand a lot more with much less of a clue as too district finance or how the system is state regulated in many ways. So live and let live. Be nicer it might come back ten fold. Go with God and Peace unto you
asbestofiber: but they don't seem to "shun technology."..look at those modern barn equipment things and gas tanks etc. It's more like they mix old and new techniques as it suits them. And they still know how to work with horses and the old farm equipment...how many farmers of the "modern school" are able to do that ?

Where's a will, there's a way. A guy in Czechia, Central Europe, developed a hydraulic machine that uses literal horse power to fuel common farming equipment. He mostly uses two horses, but one is enough for smaller equipment. He's hoping to help small bio-farms, as they could use professional equipment while staying enviromentally friendly.
Nice video, I was surprised to see motorized equipment being used but to me I don't care cause we live in a free country and the Amish are to free to live as they please. That being said I hope the Amish don't judge other people on how they choose to live there lives. I do love to see the horses and people working together, notice how calm everyone was not all stressed out lol.
And those Amish are also free abusing their kids? Because you live in a 'free' country? Not to mention the number of animals they abuse. Biggest puppy farms can be found there.

It sounds to me, after reading a bunch of these comments, that there are a whole bunch of people on here who would benefit from some real manual labor. It isn't any of your business how people want to live so go find something productive to do.
@@KandiKlover Working hard physically builds body, mind, integrity, soul, honesty, promotes a good night sleep and a slim physique. And there's nothing "stupid" about hard work. Now working "smart" at a desk or with an autonomous machine all day grows a big behind, promotes a scheming mind, can erode integrity, often leaves one soulless and sleepless and builds a person who makes comments like the one you left here. I've worked hard ( I farmed for 23 years) and have driven tractors that you don't have to steer too. Farm related jobs that demand hard physical work can't be done by someone who takes shortcuts. You just can't bypass Mother Nature and get away with it....she'll pay you back what you put into it. And there's always a benefit for doing something in a certain way and the benefit isn't always related to money. There's much value in a man who has been shaped by natural conditioning.... being physically fit, mentally wise, skillful by nature and personally trustworthy.
My family in early the 40's from Lousiana did just like the amish using horses to ploy-up soil to plant, everything ------------in harvesting cotton,corn,hay,sweet potato,watermelons,,beans,etc,etc,
Any ides on some farm work I can do with a single 16.2hh QuarterHorse or a Haflinger/Paint mix? We don't have a large pasture, but I've pulled a small arena disk with the QH. The Haflinger mare is only 3, so she's only done some light work on the cows. When the QH retires I'm planning on buying a bigger pasture for a pair of Percherons. Thank you so much for the video. Helps feed my little dreams of a self-sufficient farm.
I would imagine, in the old days, they would have had a series of pullies to hoist the hay bales into the loft. That would have been done one at a time by a person up in the loft. Is there a "traction drive" that can power a hay bailer? That is, can the use of beveled gears on an axle be used instead of a gasoline engine?
Ummm, I just enjoyed seeing the horses pulling the machinery, just like the old days. Not looking for an opportunity to "Amish bash". Great that they're doing it with a minimal "carbon footprint". Kudos from me.
You completely missed the gas powered bale conveyor and the skid steer! This is why i dislike Amish. They are (almost all of them) as fake as they come. If it is for making money they can and will use technology freely and still pay ZERO income tax on the money they make! My area has a lot of Amish construction workers and every single one of them has a cell phone!
They don't have it all that rough. They use a lot of modern day equipment. I used to drive for them. I drove for the bergholz,Ohio bunch. Goggle the bergholz Ohio Amish and check out this bunch.
Never thought 50+ years later I would look back with fondness on baling hay with my Dad and brother. Back then it was a hot sweaty never ending job with cows to milk before and after every day.

Those horses are amazing. They work at a pace to get the job done.
I love watching the horses work. It reminds me when I was little watching my grandpa's horse.
One seldom gets to see horses at work on the farm anymore. They seem so graceful.
Grew up on a ranch in Montana where we used horses a lot, and spent a few years horse logging. Good to see some well trained teams at work. Hats off.

Anyone else notice how fast their hay elevator is. Would be tough getting the bales end to end it's length.
3:35 horse steals a bite of hay then trips over the hitch cuz he wasn’t paying attention. 🤨. How typically equine.
That's why they always say No horse play
I sure hope I am able to see this done with my own eyes once the New Amish community gets all set up South of Vita, Manitoba!

Why are some machines accepted by them and some others not?
Amazing, thank my you for sharing.
good to see that they have found the WHEEL.
One how are you allowed to record them? Two I thought they didn't have machines?

They will use gas power and tractor but only when it's sitting in place
@@robertmoore1123 The baler's not sitting in place.
Amish communities have their own set of rules, and it will vary a lot from one community to another on what they can do!
Молодцы, Господних вам Благословений)!!!❤️
Я приложил все усилия, чтобы перевести вам сообщение :) Да благословит вас Бог!
So what is the point men?
Very nice work
Are those farms profitable? whitout modern machinery you cant be propductive.
How are you able to film them as their beliefs say not to put themselves happily in front of a camera?
ma che senso ha trainare un motore a scoppio con dei cavalli??
Now that's America.
At one time in my life I pitched hay and stacked it loose some 70 years ago, I wonder if they have as many flies as we had
I know what you mean about the flies, weird how they gather like that
What the purpose of using horses if they are using the turbo diesels any way?
Thats gas powered and the fence is an ELECTRIC fence. How are they amish?
You completely missed the gas powered bale conveyor and the skid steer! This is why i dislike Amish. They are (almost all of them) as fake as they come. If it is for making money they can and will use technology freely and still pay ZERO income tax on the money they make! My area has a lot of Amish construction workers and every single one of them has a cell phone!
@@bck318 it all come down to the church that there in different ones allow different things
Enfin comme je peux voir tout n'est pas sans moteur thermique.
Moi ce sont les bêtes que j'admire le plus.
Yup, and when done, jump in the cow tank and wash the dust off and cool down.
They are allowed to have an engine on a fore cart but not a tractor in the field.
Just get a steam tractor problem solved.
Excelente video del trabajo en la granja, embalando heno.
They don't have it all that rough. They use a lot of modern day equipment. I used to drive for them. I drove for the bergholz,Ohio bunch. Goggle the bergholz Ohio Amish and check out this bunch.
INGENIOUS beautiful done.
If you use gasoline motors to operate the bailer and the conveyor belt, why not use a tractor?
Spent many an hour sitting on back of dusty baler sorting out problems with Knotter
is the baler motorized or is it all horse powered?
What kind of horses are these?
Wieso ist denn der Bobcat erlaubt? Der fährt doch auch selbst?
i am wondering how many hay baling wagon loads per day?
That's the hardest job on the farm bailing hay all day
