Loving the teamwork with the family! Uncle Doug's John Deere 3020 and bar rake really did a smooth job, and your Dad rolling the windrows together was a smart move. It’s nice to see the classic tractors in action!
Great video Brandon brings back a lot of great memories when I was a teenager and young man on my Dad’s dairy farm and beef cattle operation in the early seventies to late seventies my cousin and I loaded many a bales just like you guys were doing. Dad didn’t get his first round baler till 1978 and WOW it saved a lot of work. Even with it we would still square bale around 1500 bales a year. Those were the GOOD OLD DAYS 👍
I always liked being on the right end of the baler...on the tractor. Something satisfying about an all mechanical non electronic machine in action. Thanks for the video.
Awesome video, thanks for posting it! Great yields too for a first year stand, feeder err some potassium this fall and it will be thick enough next year to choke out the weeds. My dad and I really enjoy your videos, talk about them lots when we are hanging out together. Thanks for making them.
Put 300 lbs of potash and make you add boron. Our best hay seedings were planted with about 3 bushels of oats. We let the oats mature, and harvested them, than baled the straw. We let the seeding sit until next June. If the bull thistles came in we planted on cutting it when they flowered. That would kill most of them.
We had the same bailing equipment as you. The only difference was the year was 1972. We ran A JD 70 and an Allis Chalmers WD45 to rake and sickle bar mow. I don't miss those days. Thank God for round bailers.
We never worried about weeds in a new seeding. They'll clip out as you take more cuttings. There's not a lot of good chemical options. We fed it to dairy heifers. Always better than snowballs.
oh my that looks like the bailer I used at Phillip vito’s bailing hay and straw. the straw was not bad! to handle, the hay was very heavy! does the alfalfa have a unique smell? we would have 120 straw near 250 hay for his cows, great video! good luck and be safe out there!
Saw your year ago combine fire vid. I'm a farmer and the Fire Chief at Dawn Tx. I had a fire on my combine during wheat harvest. The machine was gone in 5 minutes. Rod went thru the block number one and broke the fuel filter off. Good electric fuel pump. Wind half in my favor lost 20 acres standing wheat. Start to finish in 45 minutes.

Brings back a lot of memories young man. Nothing any better than the smell of fresh cut alfalfa and sitiing behind a johhny popper. ❤

Great explanation great video thanks Brandon and dad and George and Doug
Wonderful to see and hear the old equipment running and working so well . Takes me back to our family farm in AUS in the 60s. Great video

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Ol 720 sounds great!
love hearing them 2 cyclinder deere
Brings back memories, although we had a kicker baler . Nice and cool for putting up hay bales !
In 1962 we got a 14t with a bale enjector first one in the area baled 10 thousand a year
Great content! Really enjoy your channel
Thanks for sharing, always enjoy your videos Brandon. 👍👍🍻💪🗽
Holly cow. That's a lot of bales.
Thanks for the video. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks. See you later.
When I was young we baled with a 3020 also.
To take care of broadleaf weeds next year, dormant spray Sencor next Feb or March. New seeding can also be sprayed with Pursuit.

George has earned his corn tonight.
Reminds me back when we farmed. John Deere two cylinder and NH 256 rake
Nice 720!

near 250 hay for his cows, great video! good luck and be safe out there!
You are way ahead of the game with that field. You can see the end from the beginning!!😂😅🤣😅😂🤣
8 high! George, you are da man!
a dairy farm i follow on here plants all their alfalfa after the wheat they grow when they get the straw off
Looks like Dad has done that a few times 😅
I am glad Im not on that wagon any more .
that 720 sounded great .

Your 1025 r could pull a bar rake
Need a 9220 on the rake
Nice job with the rake, and the 730.
Not as fun as ducking bales thrown from a New Holland Hayliner with a kick baler while trying to stack a load in a wagon with racks!
Hay will fatten cows up
Brandon where is your long hay hooks?
I don't have any I need to get some
378 bales
Every time you rake you lose leaves. And that is where. All the protein is located
We never put fertilizer on alfalfa. Guess you will tell we you put on it.
My uncle had a jd 720 diesel with a pon motor he aso had a jd 60 and two jd 4020s
you were looseing a lot of leaves on the alfala its hard to put iit up at wright time same with lesepedsa
Yeah I noticed that
9300 would have been cool on the rake!
🤣🤣🤣 that would make some guys loose their minds
@dirtgrainsteel my father didn't want anything bigger than JD 40 on the rake.
😁👍👍👍👍
Did you buy your sisters tractor
I didnt we still have it though
Add potash
Who wears gloves baling hay?lol
I got to keep the hands soft for the O'L lady
...tractors...plural is not possessive.
...baling...
Could be why this video isn't doing very good
@@dirtgrainsteel I think it's a great video!!!
