What a surprise to see you on here. I was a fan of Phyllis's for a number of years before she died, when you took over the channel, which I also follow. Love Pete, of course, and we live nearby and see him at the Farmer's Market. UA-cam makes this a small world!
What a surprise to see your comment, Steve. I was a big fan of your mom's and have followed you as well since you took over her channel. I'm also a fan of Pete's and live close enough to see him at the local farmer's market. A small world on UA-cam!
Pete, your deserve an award...This was the most interesting, entertaining and enjoyable footage of mowing, raking and baling hay that I could imagine. Great job. Loved the sound effects, music choices, and the imaginative filming/editing. 👏🏆🥇🎥🎞🎬
Cool set of videos. I wouldn’t mind watching you put the bales in the barn. Interested if you shuffle remaining old bales out of barn to put new ones in back.
I gotta say Pete, you've doubled the entertainment value of your videos with the new camera and editing. Thanks for an enjoyable day bailing hay with you.
Yup, you've got the same "tractor driving grimace" that my grandpa had when driving his tractors back in the '40's. I had forgotten all about that until I saw it plastered on your face. Too cool! Thanks for taking me waaaaay back in time, Pete! I totally enjoyed this windrow hopping episode.
Just love watching that "older" farm equipment running. Your mechanical ability and the gereal good design of the equipment are a joy to watch. Love the power of your newer tractor. It is obvious in that series.. God Bless, JR
It is great that Pete's Dad is healthy and willing to lend a hand during an emergency. It was probably very nostalgic for him to run the MD over a hayfield in the summer heat trying to beat a thunderstorm. Of course with a time crunch the bailer had to have a flat. It look to me Pete beat a NASCAR pit crew to get a new skin on! Good job, time to open a cold MOXIE and watch the storm roll in.
@@angusmacduff3471 Moxie was the summer time energy drink back in the days prior to "Red Bull", "Monster" and "Jolt" Cola. Growing up in Maine it was the "grownups" soft drink back in the 1960's. At the time I preferred "Ted's" (Williams) Root Beer which I think was bottled at the Moxie plants. Coco-Cola owns the Moxie name now and they either tamed the aftertaste or I handle it way better than I did 50+ years ago.
So happy you got the hay baled and that your dad was able to help. I still can't get my head around how the belts work inside the baler to make the bale... I liked the commentary for the flat tire, that got a laugh out of me. Thanks for posting.
Haying was always fun when I was a kid staying on the grandparents farm summers. By the way, I also like your choice of music you incorporate with your videos.
Pete! Thank you for giving me the courage to start my own channel restoring my Great Grand Fathers 150 acre property. I’ve been watching your videos for years and without you and your family I would’ve never began.
Pete, you hit it way out of the park with the cinematography in this episode. Nicely done! (coming from a guy who worked in the film/tv industry for over 30 years)
Give a fella a few hours of alone time on a tractor and his creative juices will come up with all kinds of new camera angles, music blends, split screen magic and even the pure sound of farm machinery on a beautiful day. Well done Pete, well done! Thanks for sharing.
I will say - I don't remember ever seeing a drone overhead or a go-pro or even a polaroid camera while raking and baling in the 60's and 70's. Sure wish we did. That would have been groovy. Very nice video Houston.
I didn't even see big round bales in the sixties and seventies. Square bales, a rack wagon, and someone riding the wagon pulling bales of the baler and stacking them with a tie bale on top.
@@vincentgranacher2034 You are exactly right. And youngsters unloading the wagons onto an elevator into the barns. With a pile people ranking the bales...always a very hot and steamy time.
There is NOTHING like mowing, raking and baling, but your afternoon can be spoiled trying to take care of a breakdown while racing the rain schedule. Very good video.
"The Farm" got 1 of 2 IH 45T balers made in late '44. Most young men were in the military so this relieved the kids, old men and women from having to put up loose hay. Dad baled around 2 counties with it 'till the mid 60's'
There's nothing more satisfying than when your equipment runs the way it should and you get the hay up before rain. Hay looks wonderful. How was the quality and yeild?
Great Farmography in this video Pete. You captivate an “unmodern” marvel still doing the best of work for haying season!! Love seeing the MD - and well, just all your machines at work! 😉
This whole haymaking series has just been great! You really nailed it with the cinematography and editing - if you get tired of haying, see if Hollywood is hiring!
I never knew how those huge round bales of hay were made. Thank you for showing us the entire process. It never ceases to amaze me how all the different machines are involved in making the finished product. 25 round bales of hay will feed your animals for quite awhile. I think you still have time to even get a second round for 25 more before fall arrives. Amazing how it all comes together. I really enjoy learning new things that interest me about farming. Thank you for feeding me the knowledge
Sitting here thinking about how that smells! The tractor fumes, the sun kissed sweaty skin and of course the hay! Summer is here!! Yay!! Farming is the best way to enjoy this amazing NY weather while it lasts.
NASCAR would been proud of you for that quick tire change. I hope the cows will be enjoying that hay this coming winter. Nice to see both tractors work GREAT....
That was funny how you delt with the flat tire. No cussing, no swearing just a simple "Houston we have a problem, standby & zip,. zip, zip," And then back to the real action again. Nice job! So classy
Times sure have changed, there were no round bales when I was growing up. We had to handle all of the hay bales by hand and my grandfather packed them heavy. Good times 😃
Its 6 a.m. and I'm riding the commuter train to my job in Los Angeles, I remember back in the 70's when I baled hay using old tractors. I lived in town about 1,200 people, some of the local farmers knew me and would come pick me up to bale. Great cinematography, well done!
We just bailed a wagon load of hay yesterday here in central pa. We only make hay for a couple of beef cows we raise to butcher every year. Still enjoyable tho. Love the videos Pete
And the Oscar award for best small farm videography goes to ... Pete from just a few acres (along with sound and drone footage, too). I just loved it. Keep it coming please.
Love all the work you put into making all the video shots. My favourite is the drone shots. So glad you were able to have your dad’s help and be able to get a real nice start on hay for the winter. 🇨🇦
Love the video, Pete. In my day we did it the old fashion way. Bucked it by hand. Throw the bales on the trailer, then take a loaded wagon to the hay barn and stack it. We did have an elevator so we could stack it high. But we were young, strong, and enjoying life on the farm. After the day was over we would hit the swimming hole. I enjoy watching everything that you do for us. From overhauling the MD to watching the cows eat.
So fun to watch. I want to have a homestead like this. This is freedom. Alot of work to survive and it keeps you strong. I love this channel these are good people
Your old machinery brought me here.. i just bought a Fordson Dexta with a few different tools .. machines like that always put a smile on your face.. they have their own life and personality .. Keep up the good work, love the videos. . and thank you so much for sharing. Greets from Denmark .
I enjoyed this more than you know and more than I can say!!!!! Not only was it very captivating but I also learned. Thanks for the video Pete!!!!! Loved it!!!!!☺️❤️
The smile on your face after you counted was awesome Pete. I could really tell how proud you were to make that hay. It made me feel good when the first bale rolled out, I feel like I am part of the farm just lucky to watch from Plant City, Florida. God has definitely blessed you already with 25 bales of hay. I hope you get to bale alot more before winter.
Yiddish Jazz music on a roasting hot day. Pete you are a man of many facets! The production is terrific and I am really getting hooked on the drone footage. The drone gives full scope to the farm.
Love how some people are using fancy tractors that basically do it themselves and here is Pete in his tractor. You can tell he loves what he does and is so passionate! So much so my OH is now wanting to bale hay lol we live in London!!!
The sound affects are cool, I had a JD 410 , a cycle bar mower & a hay rake just like yours, I always enjoyed making hay but I only have 1 jersey cow now so I sold my equipment to a buddy ( not the tractor) and I buy my hay, plus the hay fields I was cutting were sold when the old farmer that was letting me cut his fields to keep them from growing up passed away. He & I always had a good time at haying time , he had so mush good advice to give me and lots of good conversation sitting in the shade drinking ice cold tea talking about the GOOD OLD DAYS.
Hey Pete. I'm Ron and serve as a Missionary in Kenya Africa. I enjoy all the videos. My favorites are always the Farmers Market, but I do like the mechanical rebuilding the tractors and you and your dad together. Really enjoy them all.
Thank you for your very entertaining vlogs. Your love for your animals is so lovely to watch. I love your dad jokes keep those coming. Hugs to brownie and Red too.
Fairly new subscriber here and will say I love watching all the videos. Love the information, the presentation and all. Having grown up in the upstate of NY, I remember the farms I worked at. You kind of bring it back for me. Thank you for your time and effort with the videos. Much appreciated by all!
LOVED the production values on this one, Pete! Couldn't stop watching! You made making hay look fun!

@@marilynrowland5197 Thanks, Marilyn! Small world indeed. I love watching life on the farm with Pete and aspire to have a place like his one day soon!
Here’s the thing making hay is /watching is already fun but could be better with some dad jokes
Making hay is the most enjoyable thing that I do on my farm. Amid the break downs and hard work, I still love putting up hay. My wife thinks I'm nuts.
What a pain for you to get all those camera angles but we appreciate the effort. Thank you very much.
You can tell by the exuberance that the new shiny camera smell is lingering in the air.
Pete, your deserve an award...This was the most interesting, entertaining and enjoyable footage of mowing, raking and baling hay that I could imagine. Great job. Loved the sound effects, music choices, and the imaginative filming/editing. 👏🏆🥇🎥🎞🎬
Definitely hands down the best channel on UA-cam.
Totally agree with You Georgia K.
Thanks Pete.
I couldn't agree more! One addition...Benny Hill music in fast forward mode would have put it over the top!
The amount of skills practiced by seasoned farmers just amazes me. Sorry about the flat tire.
I agree. He lets us see how things work & also lets us know you dont need siper fancy equipment to get things done.
Pete - I think these three videos would make a great playlist on your UA-cam channel. What an excellent series of videos and footage from your farm!
Thank you! I wanted to do something a little different, a break from the normal videos, something more artistic.
Cool set of videos. I wouldn’t mind watching you put the bales in the barn. Interested if you shuffle remaining old bales out of barn to put new ones in back.

Pete, this has been an awesome series…please do more.
It really shows the total amount of work required to produce quality beef….
Great job!!!
Such a relief to have all that hay tied up and ready for the barn. I imagine the hay smells mighty fine.
Just love watching that "older" farm equipment running. Your mechanical ability and the gereal good design of the equipment are a joy to watch. Love the power of your newer tractor. It is obvious in that series.. God Bless, JR

look up allis chalmers roto baler. It was the first mass produced round baler it mush more open and you can see bales forming
@@anglia24 Thanks, i will go look it up!
That tractor looks so nice like brand new. 😊
Thank you for the farm therapy. Fun to watch every time you load a video.
I truly appreciate all of the time that you put into these videos to make them fun to watch. Have fun, and stay hydrated!
You probably have the best editing/humor of any ag UA-camr. You don’t take yourself too seriously and have a great way to look at life. Contagious!
Love this job, the drone, riding along. Thanks. Hi, to your dad.
Love seeing the MD out doing it's thing, reminds me of the bygone era of childhood. Thanks Pete
Like a well oiled machine even with the flat! Your Dad is a great help and a whiz in the shop!
Haying was always fun when I was a kid staying on the grandparents farm summers. By the way, I also like your choice of music you incorporate with your videos.

Loved watching the MD working. Looks and sounds like brand new.
You have a contagious smile when you are goofing off. Thanks for sharing.

I agree! Other UA-camrs could take a lesson from Pete's post-production efforts. Great content presented in a very entertaining and fresh way!
I'm happy to see that money I gave for the MD gofundme is going towards what the MD was meant for and look good doing it.
Terrific video!! Loved seeing the hat bailer do it’s thing. And, the bails looks so pretty in the field. Beautiful life you have there! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Liking the new style videos Pete. Always interested too in the area around you, when the drone rose up high.
I will say - I don't remember ever seeing a drone overhead or a go-pro or even a polaroid camera while raking and baling in the 60's and 70's. Sure wish we did. That would have been groovy. Very nice video Houston.

Such a busy morning! So glad we could help. We now must get cleaned up for church-get the hay out of our hair! (Pete, your videos are such a delight!)
This whole haymaking series has just been great! You really nailed it with the cinematography and editing - if you get tired of haying, see if Hollywood is hiring!
Thank God for the dry weather allowing you to bale the hay!!
I love the sound of the MD! It purrs!
It makes the tractor driver feel so good when a little throttled up jaunt on the pavement is in order. Also a time for a welcomed cool down for both.

It looks like the bales are wrapped a little tighter this year vs. last! Glad you got em’ done before the rain! 👍🏻
That mister is what I and a bunch of people call a slick as frig setup, I even feel pride seeing it work, can't even imagine how you feel
WOW!! Your skills as videographer, video editor, musical editor, drone operator, etc., etc., just keep getting better and better!! Very impressive.
Kinda like ASMR, watching you bale hay
Hey Pete thanks for the ride along. Very relaxing. !!!!!
No better feeling than having your hay done and not fighting the rain. Great video!! Thanks
I enjoyed farming with you today! And thanks to Dad for the assist! You be safe!
Times sure have changed, there were no round bales when I was growing up. We had to handle all of the hay bales by hand and my grandfather packed them heavy. Good times 😃
Genuine joy and satisfaction in full display. You can't hide it, Pete. The career change was the right move for you!
Pete, you seemed so happy sharing your “ hay window” with us; very enjoyable!

Always a treat, entertaining, and I learn something every time.

That's a great start for putting up feed for the winter. Congrats Pete. I'll bet dad enjoyed working the "new" MD for a day.
That was an award winning video if I ever saw one. Great choice of music! Row you can relax a bit and watch the rain fall to make more hay!
Thanks for reminding me how much I enjoyed baling when I was a dairyman.
Love the video, Pete. In my day we did it the old fashion way. Bucked it by hand. Throw the bales on the trailer, then take a loaded wagon to the hay barn and stack it.

The rack you are using is the one my Dad used. Thank you for sharing this. Bring back good memories.
I am a big fan of the working the farm videos. Working Hay are my absolute favorite, so peaceful to watch.

Pete great seeing the process of cutting tending and raking to baling the hay. Looked good and to beat the rain was the goal achieved. Happy Sunday.
Love how some people are using fancy tractors that basically do it themselves and here is Pete in his tractor. You can tell he loves what he does and is so passionate! So much so my OH is now wanting to bale hay lol we live in London!!!
really enjoyed watching the video and the work of the tractors and balers. hope you all have a great week.
Hey Pete, changing the flat was as slick as NASCAR.🚜👍 So glad you beat the rain.
Happy to see that you were able to get the hay done before the rain!

I could watch this all day long, so relaxing.
I am so relaxed watching you guys work so hard . I'm 68 and still hit the clock ⏰five days a week. You make me feel so good 👍.
I did enjoy these videos. Thanks for sharing your time in the field and showing not all goes well all the time.
Hey Pete. I'm Ron and serve as a Missionary in Kenya Africa. I enjoy all the videos. My favorites are always the Farmers Market, but I do like the mechanical rebuilding the tractors and you and your dad together. Really enjoy them all.
Dad is always ready to help but I suspect running the MD sweetens the deal!
Always enjoy riding along Pete. Thanks for another great video!
Absolutely fantastic video Pete! Thank you for continuing to give us such great entertainment.
Thank you for your very entertaining vlogs.
Your love for your animals is so lovely to watch.
I love your dad jokes keep those coming.
Hugs to brownie and Red too.
Love to see the Red tractors earning their keep in the fields! Enjoy the show!
I could watch this all day. Sure makes me miss my ‘53 Farmall Cub. Enjoyed the purr of your diesel.
The whole time I was just thinking:
“Man, It must smell GREAT up there!”
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that fresh cut hay smells amazing?
Another great video. thank you for enjoyoing our watching.
“Makin’ hay while the sun shines “ great video, prep and planning at its finest.
I figured when you got the flat tire on the baler you were going to the egg mobile. I would of died laughing!! Lol. Love the videos!
This is one of my favorite videos.Thanks Pete.
Another great video from our favourite small acreage farmer.
Absolutely mesmerising. And your creative touches just add to it.
Excellent video production and choice of music.. I love the way you keep motoring. God bless you and your family.
watching the machine do all that back breaking work is just magic
Hi pete theres nothing like making hay while the sun shines. Great to see great tractor work they sure sound sweet 👍👍
