Video from Tremonton Utah of a Case IH WD2303 self propelled winegrower (swather) equipped with an. RD163 header mowing down irrigated alfalfa hay near Tremonton Utah. - Авто та транспорт
I grew up farming alfalfa in northern Nevada. This brought back some memories. Thanks for posting.
Boy, that swather was moving! 10 or 12 miles an hour, maybe even faster? I guess he was determined to be home in time for dinner!
what a beautiful tidy job that swathers makin, i like the uniformity of it it reeks of efficiency 👍🏻😉🏴
Doesn't get better than farming in Utah along the Wasatch Front - thanks for the video around Tremonton
Awesome. I live just west of Tremonton. Best farms in Utah throughout the valley.
Greetings from Arkansas. I grew up about a mile or so from that field. Recognized the house, the road, and those mountains. Thanks for enhancing my homesickness! Only one thing: If it was like any of the hay work I did, I'm surprised they didn't have at least one break down. Oh, wait. That comes with the baler. Good to see alfalfa again. Everything here in Arkansas looks like meadow hay. I have yet to see an alfalfa field anywhere in northwest Arkansas. Great video. thanks.
That’s a first to see that kind of irrigation, we see lots of center pivots here in Iowa. Another great video Mike, keep em coming!
That siphon irrigation is the best trick i would have never thought of.
I could watch this all day. So satisfying.
Cool video Mike. Your all over the country. I appreciate your time and efforts to bring us these videos. Stay safe, have a good day. 👍😀
What a fantastic place to film Great looking crop and irritating systems
Stay safe 👌 👍 👍
My husband is the one in the red shirt 😊 Hansen Farms is a 5th generation farm, started by John T. Hansen, a son of Danish emigrants. The farm runs between 800-1000 acres, and does a lot of custom work, as well as running their own ground. We grow hay, wheat, corn, and safflower. Great-grandpa Lee and his son Albert used to grow sugar beets for the now defunct U&I sugar factory in Garland, Utah, and used to grow sweet corn, tomatoes, and green beans for Del Monte.
great wee story, were on our 5th generation up on our wee place here too, its no big enough to make a living off but its a nice place to stay, we have carrots and malting barley and agri contract the rest of the time
That is some awesome farming and amazing work. We grow alfalfa as well but it is my first time seeing it being mowed. Do you let the alfalfa regrow after mowing it or you plant new ones from seeds?
@@am49073 the alfalfa regrows after every cutting, sometimes we can harvest a 4th crop of hay before late fall. After a couple of years, or depending on what's needed, we will spray out the alfalfa and change crops.
Thanks for the details. All the best in your awesome farm
Great Video, loved the windrower, thanks for sharing
Great video. I more or less grew up in the Mesilla Valley and use to enjoy watching the farmers run their swathers in the irrigated alfalfa fields. I really miss the smell of fresh cut alfalfa as well. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. 👍
EDIT: I’ve never seen the siphon method before. I learned something new!
I had no idea that you made it out this way. I love watching the videos and sorry i missed out on seeing you come out this way. We have some great farmers out here that do a great job!
Amazing irrigation system! Never seen that before.
It's a good system when there's lots of water but that's changing with the drought out west
that type of irrigation with the tube's have been used since the mid 60's in my Valley, Wash State, now mostly pivots are being used.
Nice! I was born in Tremonton in 1956. Been back once.
Man ! That is a smoooooooooth riding machine. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍👍
That's an awesome turning circle.
Dude looked like he had some serious hours doin that. Smooth is fast, fast is smooth.
One of the best dairymen in Utah was just down the road a little way from there in Corrine Utah. John Noyes. He was the first farmer I ever witnessed putting up 5 crops of alfalfa per year in Utah. He was cutting hay every 28-30 days. His fields were cut in the morning, chopped in the afternoon, and water put back on the field by sunset, or the next morning at the latest. Sometimes water was started on one end of the field before the field was even completely chopped. Probably the highest protein tests I have ever seen.
Sadly John passed some years ago, but I believe his son is still there turning hay into milk and fertilizer
Thanks for coming back to Utah. I bet you were going to ask at 9:15 if anyone has ever fallen into the ditch. The answer is yes. Or at least I have. We used to irrigate this way, both here it Utah and in Arizona where I used to live. Lots of good farms up in Tremonton.
The background looks awesome!😁👍 This is a great place to make a video👍😉
Thank you for sharing👍
Didn’t know how they siphon irrigate, know I do, like the new content, thumbs up
Wonderful pictures!
Thanks for the video!😊👍🏻
That’s one of your best videos Mike. 👍🇺🇸
Shout out from Brantford Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 🙌 👏 👌 😎
Great video Mike. Better then the last swather I ran years ago. I operated a CaseIH 8840 with a 16 foot header real type slow work and long days
nice modern agriculture
So satisfying to watch, good job 👍🏻
That irrigation method is very cool.
There is a cereal plant in Tremonton and at times the area smells like Fruit Loops. Mike: if you want to show some very fascinating, get with the State and have them you how they are dealing with the invasive phragamite problem around the bays of The Great Salt Lake. Super cool with big equipment, I am sure your subscribers would love it. Another would be to show the big dry farm operations just west of Tremonton, 10’s of 1,000’s of acres of wheat. They run some of the largest farm equipment to take on the huge farming task.
(I grew up just down the road from Tremonton, Utah’s diverse landscapes are second to none. There are numerous types of farms and operations )
I like that dark green alfalfa. Going to make good feed. That is quite the irrigation system. Thank you for the video update eh
Come up to Cache Valley and come play up in our fields. Another great video.
THAT WAS AMAZING VIDEO 👍🇺🇸
Good video.
That is some good looking alfalfa 👍🚜
Simple, but genius technique.
Wow very cool mower
I like your videos, from the imperial co California.
Great to see thank you.
Yooouuu.... WHAT Sapien!! UTAH.. SALUDOS FROM : "THE BRONX "
NEW YORK CITY.. thank you for the video...good job... you see this job from Satellite .. I know.
3:40 🤣😂yeah mike you did ,and yes it sure is. This machine does a clean job ,impressive
I’ve been driving Hwy 19 in Caldwell Idaho for years and just a couple of days ago I finally noticed the local Versatile dealer. I never knew.
Cool work Mike keep at it bro
It's an hour and a half from my house in the Salt Lake Valley, about 45 minutes from Ogden.
Gives me anxiety watching them run over the end rows. 😂 We have an alfalfa farm in Utah and always cut, dry, bale and haul away the end rows a couple days before the rest of the fields. It’s a lot cleaner.
You should try and get up to the Columbia Basin in Washington State. Grant County raises more potatoes than any county in the country. That would be around Moses Lake.
That was some awesome good looking alfalfa and background scenery, Mike! Is the disk mower more efficient than the old sickle bar? Or is it just more resilient? Absolutely great video, Mike!
Would like to know the same thing what’s better
you like Versatile Tractors right ... I've been hauling rock up and down 63 in Iowa all day and noticed an old 4WD Versatile sitting along side the HWY north of HWY 3 :)
My ancestor came to Australia, his sister went to live in USA .From England ,
she took a wagon train west to Logan Cache, just east of this place.mid 1800s
Wright- Brown- Laddle- Pitcher families
I think she converted to being a Mormon, or quaker, or something like that.
My family didnt go into religion here in Australia
Super vidéo ! Vers qu'elle vitesse de travail roule-t-il ?
I live in tremoton it is a nice place
Great idea for irrigation! Are the fields sloped for water flow?
I'm surprised no one has tried dry beans, like pintos or reds in Tremonton. Hi from Burley.
Wish I could mow my yard that fast. He’s moving. I have been looking for a 16’ deck for my 318. No luck so far
Its like this person is dancing with that cutter.
Wow the driver is cooking bro 👍 i worked the soybean corn and sunflower harvest for years in North Dakota in a 9650
Hi my name is ronald and I was just letting you know that is my hometown
Is the hay irrigated the same way as the corn is?
Hi Mike - the irrigation is very interesting have the fields been graded away from the ditch to allow the flow of water.
I'm not Mike but I grow on a farm in Ohio and moved to Utah many years ago. My late wife had aunts and uncles that farmed. Like Mike said there is all kinds of irrigation going on there. They need to level the flooded fields and keep them that way. You need water rights to use water and it's very closely monitored. Use more than your share and your in big trouble.
I love tremonton utah
Wow have you ever seen such a beautify crop of alfalfa???
I flue in a airplane with a big corporate darry man to some where in the try state regain in the 80's to contract alfalfa by the cubic lot. We flue over about hours worth of first cut alfalfa didn't see anything that good.
Tom Preiss holy shit Tom. Please tell me English is not your first language, or at least tell me you were drunk af.
WOW.-O-WOW
You didn't mention the beautiful reeeed swather!
How long did they say they water for?
grew up doing this - only 1 - 1 inch tube per row.
Excuse-me !! my question is , this guy ( the operators) hop GPS..in the tractor ?
Can almost smell the Alfalfa. Ranks right up there with freshly plowed ground.
Here in Sinaloa we irrigate like tath
Is this the same farm / machine recovered by Winder towing in their video?
As well as Malt-o-meal in Tremonton there is a hay press just west of Bear River City that re-bails hay for export. Bailey Farms. If you travel into Idaho , east of the freeway I84 from the Idahome exit is a dairy that covers more than a section with cattle Idaho Jersey Girls. They have an indoor feed mixing building with a drive over bridge so semis can unload directly into the bunks as loaders are scooping out ration mixes. here is a video that shoes some of the operation. ua-cam.com/video/kmutrzPyx0Q/v-deo.html
What is the stick that is spinning around in the circle on the back of that mower and what is it used for and what's the purpose of it???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
How do they get 16' of hay in a windrow to dry ?

What's the trick to such smooth fields and lack of gophers?
What happens when de irrigated water is gone?
👍👍
Interesting irrigation...do they fill the ditch from tankers or is that natural?...
Probly natural but I don't know about this yr 2022 being in this drought low water everywhere!
Our water comes from our local canals, which tie into the Bear River. Leftover water drains into the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. Nothing really goes to waste as far as the water goes ;)
Cows be like
:yum
👍💪
That's cool what yr
First cutting?
What are they getting for nice hay like that??$$
Hi how much this machine
Is a beautiful place. I spent about a year out there in the 80's. Don't let the nutty Mormons convince you there's Marlin in the lake. Seen it happen no joke. lol
What is that slow spinning thing behind the machine? Like in 4:08 and 5:43
Looks like some Kind of cleaner for the air Filter.
That is a vacuum that keeps the radiator screen clean. It has a sheet of metal that rotates on the inside of the screen to block the suction from the fan while the vacuum sucks the debris from the outside. It gets its suction from the tips of the fan blade on the engine. It's really a pretty ingenious setup.
He must be going 15 to 20 miles an hour
First!
@Ken Hofer shut up!
Mr Krabs you sound Krabby.
Where do you get the specs on the equipment you film?
Just depends but I've collected farm equipment brochures for a long time and know lots of folks in the farm equipment business. Lots of specs online as well.
👍👍👍
A buncha kids inhaled arsenic for this
Those are drag race speeds..wabbits look out.
we want this machine in india
any one can help me ?
Ah yes they’re also shrinking the Great Lake of Utah, and the the winds are kicking up arsenic laced dust where the waters used to be, affecting wildlife and the community. Great job growing farms in the desert dude 👍
Cool work Mike keep at it bro
