Growing up on the farm with beef cattle this video took me back to cutting the hay then I would rake it we had a front mount on our IH350 worked great then of course getting the Fox chopper out grease it up sharpen the blades put the IH 1256 on it had 1000 rpm pto hook up the Badger forage wagons and away we went, we had Harvestore silos with permanent pipes all we had to do was climb up open the center door slide the spout in we used a Badger blower also 1000 rpm pto with a IH 806 deisel plenty of power to blow it up 55ft you could really pour the silage to it the ole 806 would rock on its tires. I Really miss those times alot of work but we made it fun, Thanks so much for your great videos brings back great memories for me!!!
Darby...we've all been there, done that. Chalk it up to experience and roll on. NIce to see husband and wife working together and smiling!!! At least the 1650 wasn't a diesel to have to bleed out.
Shoot Darby they better not say a word about you getting stuck they are all driving on and off the pile with big four wheel drive tractors while you got that heavy old two wheel drive, I say, you go girl... doing a fine job
.....but can you even IMAGINE farming that land? I get vertigo just watching the videos...but then, I'm a "flat-lander" (Fl.) so that may be what it might be. However, I AM always grateful to WATCH these videos....thank you for sharing. Darby is SUCH an asset to your farming operation....some may think "packing" an unimportant aspect of laying feed by, but exclusion of air (to the greatest extent possible) is crucial to the success of the pile, and slow-steady pressure is what is required....and as long as she's willing to keep it up, I'd say KEEP HER ON THE TEAM! (I realize you intended to all along, anyway...) Always enjoy your videos!
Darby, you're doing a fine job!! We were haying into the night years ago, and we were miles from home, so we started home with 2 trucks and 3 tractors with wagons, wouldn't you know 1 truck and 2 tractors ran out of fuel, and we didn't have cell phones, so we took the 1 truck home, got lots of gas cans, and took fuel back with the old willies jeep! by then it was 2 in the morning! we always sent 2 guys home to milk, we only milked 120!
Darby you're doing a great job, I don't think the in-laws would ever get mad, especially for willing to help and yes the packing is a really important part.
Nothing to be ashamed of Darby! I buried my neighbors 1466 International with duals on. I was field cultivating some ground and hit a sand bar. Buried it up clear to the axle. Good times! Watching you all brings back fond memories!! Keep up the good work!
I'm sure your dad is proud! A lot of moving parts to all that work and with all the help, I'm sure he's thankful. Great job, I enjoy the videos. Keep them coming and God bless!
who has not got stuck rolling grass on a pile Darby , nothing to worry about it happens , no one hurt is the man thing , nothing broken . Days like this when everyone gets stuck in , having Owen milking at the end of the day like you said adds a good few hours to chopping it makes such a difference , I did not like being on the tractor until late then doing the milking is not nice to have to do and finish 2 or 3 hours after everyone else and then starting 3 hours before everyone else you get really tired , so well done Owen what you do make a massive difference to the day
Thanks for sharing the video. Good looking feed. Darby we've all been there filling a ground silo or a pile. Aaron you are right about the packer is more important than a lot of people think. If it is not done well your feed isn't going to be as good. Stay safe out there working.
Love these videos! Darby, it happens and it’s going to happen again. I think we can all agree it’s great you’re involved plus getting stuck makes great UA-cam content. Lol
Ha, ha Darby, I've gotten stuck too on a pile with an articulating loader against the wall! What an ordeal. Eggs and omelets and all that... yours was an easy fix, the most important part is to know when to stop trying and wait for a pull, it's all about experience. Good Job!
Darby, you should not be too hard on yourself. Experiences are great teachers, kudos to you for keeping a level head as it could have turned out much worse, keep up the good work !!
Hey Darby! Don't feel bad, I have seen the men need help too. You are a great addition to the family and he is right. It is an important job and you are doing well. It happens and you guys are a good team. Always enjoy watching how you all work together. Great job, Owen, Mason, Aaron, Darby and of course Dad. Be careful.
We learn more from our mistakes than our success If you don't mess up once in awhile you aren't expanding your knowledge I'm sure they are way ahead because you were there The entire family openly understand where you are at Continue on they are there for you
We all do it! I will give one bit of advice running the old 10 for Darby, slow down on the high/low shifting. Easy to lodge in between ranges shifting it fast, I learned the hard way 😂😂 but at least she’s in the good tractor 😉😉
I like all of the tractors. But really like that 7405. Very useful. I would look into getting a canopy for it. Can't beat fresh air and shade. Have a good one
Darby has to Lear one way or another and to have a small amount of mess ups helps her to learn. She’s a good girl and a keeper!! You might want to reach out to a fellow UA-camr. Ross the Oliver guy! He has quite a few of them and a couple others but he also works on his and customers tractors. He might have a couple things you can check
Back in 75 we only had 2wd for all our pile Hydrocat and 4 foot freeman loader on a 560 int Milking 125 and only a bunk with 2 sides then we thought king of world with duals on 706. 6 tractors wd45 H 400 560 706 1066. Times have changed
Don't worry darby did it last nite lol except I buried up to the weights in the front and the drawbar in the back took us about almost a day to get out that's okay Darby
The one forage box must be shorter than the others, looks like the rear axle is almost past the rear of box. Needs running gear reach shortened up some.??
Big mistake. The lady gets the better cab EVERY time. She out ranks you because she married you.😂😂 Seriously, though, it would be better for her. Less dust and more ability to control temperature. Take care of that lady!
I doubt the 2wd would pull those wagons across the pile and there is no way I would want to pull wagons on those hills if I was new to running tractors. I would be happy to cut my teeth in the old cab happily.
I believe the idea of the packing tractor is weight and compaction, adding an additional wheel or dual will disperse the weight of the tractor which would create an effect of less compaction of the forage due to less weight per square inch.
If you don't get stuck and break something every once in a while you are not getting much done. Anyone who says it doesn't happen to them is lying to you.
I think a bagger would be more important then extra skidloaders and sawmill you could do everything with 2 people my dad is hardheaded to. But when we got the bagger my dad said we should of done this years ago
Your dad reminded of my dad kind of a know it all. I had a trucking company and a fence company my dad still believes when pounding post you pound the big end in the ground. Well hes 92 and wrong. My dad married a millionaire and farming thats all he knows he should be traveling hes never been anywhere Mexico for his honey moon its so sad

Darby’s smile is infectious ❤

Darby, don't let them kid you, they've all been stuck at one time or the other. Good job. Excellent video
We have all gotten stuck, dont worry about. Nobody got hurt and nothing got broke, all good.
Thank you!
Shoot Darby they better not say a word about you getting stuck they are all driving on and off the pile with big four wheel drive tractors while you got that heavy old two wheel drive, I say, you go girl... doing a fine job
More Darby in the episodes. She is doing awesome! Everyone gets stuck.
One of my favorite videos!

Big forage and Darby is doing a good job.
Darby handled powerlessness well. I would have not shown her grace.
"....Owen keepin' us Goin'....The man's a poet (an' don't know it..)
Love to see Green pulling Red!!
Don't sweat it Darvy you still did an awesome job !!!
Family is getting it done!! 😊
Darby your doing an awesome job !!
At least your willing to get out there and help out on the family farm !!
Great Job Darby , everyone in the family has had a oops like that , live on and something to laugh about later , Lots of Love from Ohio
Darby you aren't the first to get stuck it's part if learning and you did a great job keeping your composer
You go Darby 👍
Darby it's a learning curve, every tractor is different on a pile. Doing a great job keep it up. Great video from you guys.
Darby, you're doing a fine job!! We were haying into the night years ago, and we were miles from home, so we started home with 2 trucks and 3 tractors with wagons, wouldn't you know 1 truck and 2 tractors ran out of fuel, and we didn't have cell phones, so we took the 1 truck home, got lots of gas cans, and took fuel back with the old willies jeep! by then it was 2 in the morning! we always sent 2 guys home to milk, we only milked 120!
She was just checking the density of the pile :)
Someone has to do it! 😂
Darby, no one in that family would ever get upset with you - Lots of Love ❤️ from everyone - They all appreciate all the help they can get 🥰
Great day of work by all
There's no reason to be embarrassed Darby. It's not the first time someone got stuck . It won't be the last. 👍
Darby now you are a part of the family
Darby you're doing a great job, I don't think the in-laws would ever get mad, especially for willing to help and yes the packing is a really important part.
Nothing to be ashamed of Darby! I buried my neighbors 1466 International with duals on. I was field cultivating some ground and hit a sand bar. Buried it up clear to the axle. Good times! Watching you all brings back fond memories!! Keep up the good work!
You're doing a great job, Darby! We've all done things like that. Keep at it. Please stay safe, and God bless.
I'm sure your dad is proud! A lot of moving parts to all that work and with all the help, I'm sure he's thankful. Great job, I enjoy the videos. Keep them coming and God bless!
Glad to see all family help out, thats the way it gets done, learn how todo it, and keep intrsts alive...be safe
Love seeing how the whole family joins in. Grew up on farm where everyone pitched in. Enjoyed seeing your wife!
who has not got stuck rolling grass on a pile Darby , nothing to worry about it happens , no one hurt is the man thing , nothing broken . Days like this when everyone gets stuck in , having Owen milking at the end of the day like you said adds a good few hours to chopping it makes such a difference , I did not like being on the tractor until late then doing the milking is not nice to have to do and finish 2 or 3 hours after everyone else and then starting 3 hours before everyone else you get really tired , so well done Owen what you do make a massive difference to the day
We have all been there
Thanks for sharing the video. Good looking feed. Darby we've all been there filling a ground silo or a pile. Aaron you are right about the packer is more important than a lot of people think. If it is not done well your feed isn't going to be as good. Stay safe out there working.
Watching you from Derry in Ireland
You did fine Darby! Part of the learning process! They have all been stuck before. Nice to see you working as a team!
Love these videos! Darby, it happens and it’s going to happen again. I think we can all agree it’s great you’re involved plus getting stuck makes great UA-cam content. Lol
So awesome watching Darby cut her teeth little by little into your farming world I just love it ❤ oh and getting stuck is just part of it lol
“I think I’m stuck” 😂😂 Love the channel!! Great content. Keep up the good work
Ha, ha Darby, I've gotten stuck too on a pile with an articulating loader against the wall! What an ordeal. Eggs and omelets and all that... yours was an easy fix, the most important part is to know when to stop trying and wait for a pull, it's all about experience. Good Job!
Now Darby you're ready for a planter
Darby, like everyone else has said, everyone gets stuck. That is not an easy job, and you are doing great! Keep smiling!
Darby, it happens to all of us, the good thing is there was hubby with another tractor to the rescue.
Darby, you should not be too hard on yourself. Experiences are great teachers, kudos to you for keeping a level head as it could have turned out much worse, keep up the good work !!
Love your vidios and i love seeing your corn cribs full of ear corn you just do see no more
Hey Darby! Don't feel bad, I have seen the men need help too. You are a great addition to the family and he is right. It is an important job and you are doing well. It happens and you guys are a good team. Always enjoy watching how you all work together. Great job, Owen, Mason, Aaron, Darby and of course Dad. Be careful.
Ach was wäre es schön auch weiter zu machen . Bei uns in Deutschland ist nur Regen in Sicht letzte Woche war einmal eine Woche sonne
We learn more from our mistakes than our success If you don't mess up once in awhile you aren't expanding your knowledge I'm sure they are way ahead because you were there The entire family openly understand where you are at Continue on they are there for you
I couldn't say it better.
Darby you are doing a great Job
Darby, it's ok. We have all been stuck at one time or another. You are doing a great job!!😊
We all do it! I will give one bit of advice running the old 10 for Darby, slow down on the high/low shifting. Easy to lodge in between ranges shifting it fast, I learned the hard way 😂😂 but at least she’s in the good tractor 😉😉
You call that getting stuck? Hold my beer!
You ain't stuck if you can still see the front axle in Blackjack clay! Here's your beer back. I'm sorry I finished it... 😂😂😂
Happens to everyone. Keep mov'n on. Good job!!
I’ll bet your not the first Darby and you won’t be the last .😁😁 . Great video folks . What a view !
I like all of the tractors. But really like that 7405. Very useful. I would look into getting a canopy for it. Can't beat fresh air and shade. Have a good one
Great video for sure
Nice video

❤❤❤😊😊😊 I ALWAYS START WITH A THUMBS UP 👍😎DARBY YOUR TRYING❤😊
absolutely amazing video!
Back in 75 we only had 2wd for all our pile Hydrocat and 4 foot freeman loader on a 560 int Milking 125 and only a bunk with 2 sides then we thought king of world with duals on 706. 6 tractors wd45 H 400 560 706 1066. Times have changed
Great Video!
Don’t worry, Darby they won’t yell at you. It’s hard to get good help. I learned never yell at the help they don’t come back.
Darby everone gets stuck. The fact you are willing to help makes up for it. I am sure George wasn't too upset. Probably needled you a bit?
Don't worry darby did it last nite lol except I buried up to the weights in the front and the drawbar in the back took us about almost a day to get out that's okay Darby
Just wondering if you ever thought about putting up 2 18by70 foot silos and use your little silo that you have already for high moisture corn?
I was wondering all that Oliver was doing still leaking oil weird You have to put the Farmall the rake
👍👍
Least your in there plugin away, minor problem!!
Oh and Darby no worries WE ALL GET STUCK!!!!!
We have all been stuck!
wanna hear more about Ollie's problems...Pleeze! No "gas in the oil!"
Take a little bit of the oil and try lighting on fire to see if it has gas in it. If it does it will ignite quickly.
All you guys need now is a nice 4640
If you let some air out of the tires would the wider track help with the packing.
You don’t know what you would do if they got mad? My friend’s wife has an understanding when they work cattle together. “If you yell at me I am done.”
😂 My kids finally got big enough to work our little herd without me. And they yelled at each other.. I enjoyed the retelling of the story!
The one forage box must be shorter than the others, looks like the rear axle is almost past the rear of box. Needs running gear reach shortened up some.??
Why dual wheels on the left side only?
Big mistake. The lady gets the better cab EVERY time. She out ranks you because she married you.😂😂 Seriously, though, it would be better for her. Less dust and more ability to control temperature. Take care of that lady!
I doubt the 2wd would pull those wagons across the pile and there is no way I would want to pull wagons on those hills if I was new to running tractors. I would be happy to cut my teeth in the old cab happily.
Why don't you put both duals on tge 1066?
Doesn't have enough power to turn both duals
I believe the idea of the packing tractor is weight and compaction, adding an additional wheel or dual will disperse the weight of the tractor which would create an effect of less compaction of the forage due to less weight per square inch.
I always think of stability. I cringe at the side hills on that farm and we have lost local farmers slipping off the pile
Gas in the oil? That will seize up the engine at some point, why run it like that?
You guys make good videos but why did you not put the other Dulan the tractor
I think packing is a dangerous job.
Could be a blow head gasket
If you don't get stuck and break something every once in a while you are not getting much done. Anyone who says it doesn't happen to them is lying to you.
I think a bagger would be more important then extra skidloaders and sawmill you could do everything with 2 people my dad is hardheaded to. But when we got the bagger my dad said we should of done this years ago
Your dad reminded of my dad kind of a know it all. I had a trucking company and a fence company my dad still believes when pounding post you pound the big end in the ground. Well hes 92 and wrong. My dad married a millionaire and farming thats all he knows he should be traveling hes never been anywhere Mexico for his honey moon its so sad
He has 1500 acres of ground 30 angus cows and he puts up all the hay alone
Funny part he thinks im crazy for retiring to enjoy what left of my life. I told him life is to short not to live life
Regarding the Oliver, touch bases with Oliver66FarmBoy. Young guy who runs all Oliver’s and seems to really know his way around them.
