    It's a bit daft that they have motorised the baler but have horses pulling it instead of a tractor.

    It's incredible how long New Holland equipment lasts, it can literally rust in a field for decades and still perform after a little maintenance. The Dutch really are the world leaders in farming techniques. I see the Amish have an excellent eye for quality when machinery must be used.

      Good Question. Amish is a culture not a religion and in their culture the elders make the rules and you follow them or risk being shunned. I was once told you can't make sense of their way's you just have to accept them but yet they have tractors for the tractors PTO to run generators and grain lifts for the silos. Go Figure I can't.

    This was the way we did hay in eastern Washington state in the mid 60’s.. Our bales were 2-3 times bigger.. But it worked fine.. Bale’s were often 125-135 pounds per bale.. as a kid I got used to it and it built me up for a life that was fun and able..

      The dog actually helps guide the horses when plowing the fields. As for the farmer it's 24/7 he has a dairy farm and the cows are milked twice a day 7 days a week. Aside from the Tobacco all the crops are for his heard of dairy cows. He works 40 acres.
