My dad and his brother baled hay together for years. We used our Oliver 77, on the baler, because it had a live PTO. Years later, my uncle bought a JD 3020 with power shift, and it took over the baler duties. We always had a NH baler and would bale up a 1,000 bales a day. You might try moving your drawbar to the right to give you more tire clearence, and hay hooks make loading much easier.
@@lukestrawwalker Lol. I have. I live in Texas. 2021 is the first year in about thirty that I hired someone to cut, rake and bale my hay. It’s expensive. Especially when you own the equipment to do the job yourself. I just needed a break from the heat, breakdowns and aggravation.
@@America-First2024 oh okay... For whatever reason I thought you were up north closer to his area... I hear ya I'm in Shiner, and our other fan is at Needville, so yeah hot n humid. Baled all these years with an open station but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about a cab tractor lol Getting soft in my old age I guess lol... Yeah owning a baler and mower and stuff ain't cheap, but neither is hiring it done... And around our area the custom guys will leave you hanging till they feel like cutting it and baling it... No bueno. When I did custom work I'd bust @ss to be there within a week, usually a couple days at most, of getting the call from the landowner. I'd bust it to make sure the hay was cut, raked, cured, and baled in a timely way for maximum quality; most of these jackasses around here cut it, let it lay flat on the ground a week in the hot sun to scorch and bleach into wheat straw, and then have a kid pulling the rake right ahead of the baler, so basically they're making cardboard hay, fit more for bedding straw than feed hay. Oh well, people keep hiring them... I'm running a 40 year old baler making fuzzy bales, but the hay in them is really good quality. But too many guys are impressed by how a bale LOOKS, so long as it's rock hard and sharp it could be totally sh!t hay and they'd be happy... Cows don't care how it looks they care what's in it! Oh well... Lol. Long as I can move and keep a baler and mower and rakes on the place, I'll do my own hay. When I can't I'll probably sell out lol... OL J R
Putting fertilizer and other Soil amendments on land You Don't Own always has some risk. Every time I see this Ford tractor in one of your videos it reminds me of my 4000.
I hear ya, we have had 20% the last few days an it has rained both days an even a tornado 1/4 mile south of me an that was another 20% chance also, I think their figuring is backwards!, The rain on your hay just helped to cure it !!
nice hay . here in northern Ontario Canada we just finished our haying started July 10th and we fought rain this year too . Have an older New Holland 268 baler been a good machine and a hard core 6 foot round baler . But you won't like the colour of the tractors they are green . Do make hay to sell or livestock
yeah used to pull 3 wagons behind the jd336 and bring the loads home later in the day baling goes faster and less time in the hot sun. neighbor kids helped me unload in the hay mound after evening milkings. they were employed at another dairy getting $12/hr so i paid $13 all through the 1990's. farmed the neighbors 60 acres worked a deal where i farm it he gets to hunt all his idea he came to me and the wagons often got stuck in a septic drain field area middle of a alfalfa field
Its been a long time since I have seen someone make square bales. Where I live it's mostly round bales. I prefer the square myself. Which if I'm able to is what I will do. Square bales.
Our old square baler has a thrower. I remember one time dad was in the thrower racks stacking and the thrower "tossed" him the bales. Make any round bales yet this year?
I could have baled two rounds in the last 10 days. 50% chance of rain every day... No rain! Makes me mad knowing I could have gotten some work done. How heavy are your bales? Is there a target you shoot for?
Fields need fertilized once ayear minimum better to do 2 times a year spring and fall....but the best is after every cut program for max production and highest quality, my point was it would not have been a waste to do 1 time even if you only gat 1 cut...i would almost guarantee that it would more than pay for itself ...as long as soil ph is atleast a 6. Nitrogen cant really be utilized with a ph below 5.5 wish you lived closer i could teach you some tricks to making the highest tdn hay you ever seen, and you could learn me about row cropping and raising vegetables and flowers on a large scale
Your nuts not wearing bluejeans while bailing. 35 years ago when I was young I'd wear jeans and sometimes chaps throwing alfalfa nails, and stacking 9 high.
Yeah we never liked to miss church, and didn't work on Sunday if we could help it. BUT sometimes the weather or circumstances would conspire against you, say gotta finish planting or harvest or baling Sunday morning because a front and rains were gonna roll in Sunday afternoon or evening, then we did what we had to do... almost always go to church Sunday night in that case. Later! OL J R : )
Man, I remember square-baling... Always hot in Michigan and it sucked, especially when you got stuck in the mound... Now we Round bale and we are just about to start second cutting in a day or two... For anyone interested, check out my channel for baling with a Case Ih 8460 Round Baler and a Ford 8000!
Boehm Farm I guess that’s not a crazy amount, otherwise I was going to suggest looking into the mechanical kuhns accumulator and grapple system but it’s probably too expensive if you’re only putting up 4000 bales a year
They would find one very useful. Pulling those bales off the ramp. Ours is still up in the loft of the barn. Laying on a beam over the door. Dad always said if we took out if the loft. We would lose it. Or worse yet. Step on it and Bugger up our foot! Hahaha
Boehm Farm Nice. That’s really cool you guys went college then back to farming together. We are getting a lot of rain in Wisconsin but things are growing..
Always special to see the small Ford doing a big boys job
In this crazy world living on a farm looks like paradise to me.
Love that baler snd Ford tractor , great awesome video Jacob
Equipment looks great that's an honest days work for sure
Wow finally someone making hay the old way!! Lol brings back memories, when I was young doing hay.
Wow, this brings back some great memories for me so thank you very much.

There's more swing to the baler hitch, but I like to keep it straight.
"Hello Boehm farm fans" Hey, that's me! 😆
I Don't miss handleing those idiot blocks at all !! young guy's job !! I'm 76 now
Thanks for sharing 👍
Love to hear a tractor on a baler! Nice lookin ole 565
Looks like fun. We're getting a lot of wind here. Looks like you got rid of the 6610.
We still have it, just don't use it much. Kinda could use a new home.
Hay looks good! Don’t miss the square bale days. I’m about to call it quits for round baling if I can’t locate a decently priced cabbed tractor!
The dust from round baling isn't any fun.
LOL:) Try it in 100 degree Texas heat LOL:) Why I prefer to make fall hay out of bluestem... OL J R : )

We are in the middle of second cutting rn, hope everything keeps going well!
Like the old way to farm , it's remind me my young days .
I'm a deere guy but I also run Farmtracs (Indian built Ford clones) as my hay tractors and I love the road speed compared to my synchro 4020

Can't trust 20% and then no rain when it's 50%
Y'all got it made on that flat ground up there..
Until it rains, and rains again, bam, constant mud.
Yes I do feel you on that...
I love my 9n ford with the overdrive because of how fast it is stock gearing is 6 or 7 mph overdrive is 16 to 20 mph
I like to see u pull at that speed the motor has no balls!!
@@arthurdewith7608 the motor can hold it's own but the tractor is too light to pull

Have an older New Holland 268 baler been a good machine and a hard core 6 foot round baler . But you won't like the colour of the tractors they are green . Do make hay to sell or livestock
Some of both.
We could use some rain now.Nice work.
You boys need to give the WT Farm Girl some hay baling pointers for her up in Michigan. Her first cut baling was painful to watch. 🥴
Probably a stunt to get views.
yeah used to pull 3 wagons behind the jd336 and bring the loads home later in the day baling goes faster and less time in the hot sun. neighbor kids helped me unload in the hay mound after evening milkings. they were employed at another dairy getting $12/hr so i paid $13 all through the 1990's. farmed the neighbors 60 acres worked a deal where i farm it he gets to hunt all his idea he came to me and the wagons often got stuck in a septic drain field area middle of a alfalfa field
July in Sweden was the coldest and rainiest since 1962.
On the 23rd of July we had 51 ℉ and there was 10 inches of rain in 12 hours.
Wow, that's wild. We've had wet years the last few, but never cool in the summer.
@@boehmfarm4276
Well, we live about 2 miles south of the Arctic Circle. It can have a certain effect.
I love baling season on the Boehm farm, im still waiting for the shirtless baling contest you mentioned last year LOL
This is just a guess but, I bet your hands are calloused like mine used to while handling bales without gloves. Good video, thanks!
My hands have a texture all their own.
Its been a long time since I have seen someone make square bales. Where I live it's mostly round bales. I prefer the square myself. Which if I'm able to is what I will do. Square bales.
brings back memory except we were 30% slopes ,lol
Anyone else even just slightly creeped out by his goatee and mustache? You can't tell me no one else out there is thinking that.
It's his evil twin... Garth Knight vs. Michael Knight (Knight Rider reference LOL:) OL J R :)
Great video!!
Our old square baler has a thrower. I remember one time dad was in the thrower racks stacking and the thrower "tossed" him the bales. Make any round bales yet this year?

Makes me mad knowing I could have gotten some work done. How heavy are your bales? Is there a target you shoot for?
You're telling me. We missed the last rain.
The sound of the bailer could be in a horror movie. Boehm farm massacre.
Need a wide load sign on that tractor with the hay mower
Wide load signs don't apply to farm equipment and implements of husbandry. Unless they're being hauled on a trailer on the interstate. OL J R :)
Nice video Jacob

Ever been running a race and had the guy behind you grab your shirt or shoulder?
Then I'd throw him to the ground.
@@boehmfarm4276 what the?! 😯
First cut in july? We already had three cuts.
Open your ears, first thing he said in the video, JUNE 13 lol
Looks like good fun ! How much hay do you take home for doing the work, looking at doings the same thing for myself
Nathan de Jeu I would think at least half
It's usually on the plus side of half.
40 years ago, 50/50 splits were commonplace. With the cost of equipment and the like, 33-40% for the landowner is more likely.
I hope your getting 5 bucks a bale for those beautiful bales!
Hey, NASCAR is doing better than ever!
If you’re not riding on the edge, you’re not living. 👌
Wow 900 bales, awesome!!
9:30 I tell you what that’s some Boehm farm stacking right there 😂
Very full loads only here!
Your nuts not wearing bluejeans while bailing. 35 years ago when I was young I'd wear jeans and sometimes chaps throwing alfalfa nails, and stacking 9 high.
That's alfalfa... very sticky because of all the stems. Soft grass hay that's clean with no weeds, not so much! OL J R :)
Ford 4000?
It's actually a 2910. Roughly same as a 3000. He's got those rice& cane tires on it. So definitely looks 4000-5000 like
Got to love the Ohio and what part of Ohio are you in?
Southwest
John Deeres rule!! Olivers ruled too!
👍👌🇨🇦❤, lovin' it all
Looks like Nick is in charge.
June??..It's almost August...
I NEVER WORKED SUNDAY IN 40 YEARS OF FARMING ACCEPT CARING FOR THE ANIMALS OF COURSE.

Are you guys near blanchester or fayetteville or somewhere else in ohio
in between on 123 just past Glady road on the left on schefesky Rd you can see are place from 123
If you don't like baling while you're still planting,then get the planting done! Lol
how much hp does that ford has and what type is it?
It's a 2810. It's about 40 ponies.

I am praying for rain (7/20 Tuscarawas county Ohio)🙏
👍 We could use one here in North Mississippi now too. Cotton and corn both at the critical stage. Don't need any stress
You should see our forecast.... A week of storm chances and we've been getting missed.
Is that a 4000 model tractor.
2810
Looks like Sam should get Cheryl out there
Ah yes the contend I came and stayd for
How many small bales do y’all make in one year ?"
Probably at least 3000, going to make over 4000 this year.
Boehm Farm I guess that’s not a crazy amount, otherwise I was going to suggest looking into the mechanical kuhns accumulator and grapple system but it’s probably too expensive if you’re only putting up 4000 bales a year
Green is always Leading The Way. LOL hope you're having a great day
Gotee and a stash
It's his evil twin
thx jacob..... for a bit longer vid....
You need to get a number 72 kicker and make your flat racks into kicker wagons.
why my wife and me and my friend enjoy the work at get time if rain comes we put it up for silage real fast
And need twice as many wagons because you'll only get half as many on a wagon because they're all jumbled... OL J R :)
Rain, lucky you!
Where has Brad been
He has not been for a haircut. Is he still in lockdown?
No buddy uses a hay hook anymore?
They would find one very useful. Pulling those bales off the ramp. Ours is still up in the loft of the barn. Laying on a beam over the door. Dad always said if we took out if the loft. We would lose it. Or worse yet. Step on it and Bugger up our foot! Hahaha
We do about 100 square bales a year for kids 4-h animals, when I brought out a hay hook my nephews loved it and won't bale without one lol
Used one just last week stacking wagons
So is Brad your brother?
College friend
Boehm Farm Nice. That’s really cool you guys went college then back to farming together. We are getting a lot of rain in Wisconsin but things are growing..
👍👏👏👏
is it just me or does he look like tony stark?
Now I need an iron man suit.
Boehm Farm 😂🤟🏻
Buy yourself some hay hooks!!!
sharp loook :D
40k subs you should shave your face
John Deere are better
