You are doing a great job it all takes time to learn how to use the machines but I can see you are all learning fast grateful for the guy who came to give you some advice on how to run and fix your machines hope you have a good week of hay making
Thank, Simon. We are grateful also.
Thanks for helping them out MrTim. Glad you all got everything back ready. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week
We are so glad that everything is in working order again. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great job guys ..Scott is proud I'm sure ....hang in there !!
Thank you!
A very good job guys! Learn as you go and remember it well once you do it! Good for you!
Most certainly! I need to log anything I may forget!
We are so proud of y’all. A great job of teamwork. It sure was nice of your Tim your neighbor to help y’all. Glad everything is going good. Thanks for the video. That’s a big job in itself. 👍👍👍❤️
Thank you! He's a pretty awesome dude.
Glad yall were able to get it all fixed and glad you had some viewers able to share their knowledge!
Heck yeah!
Used to have a Vermeer 605B model, after every 2 yrs, we'd drop our belts out, remeasure them, technically, they're supposed to be a specific length. However, each baler brand IS and WILL BE different.
Eventually, yes, you'll need to replace those places, they act as guides.
Loading with the claw just takes lots of practice and patience. Y'all are doing good. Great video, cheers :)
Glad to see the family is still marching on strong . Great video
Thanks, Aaron!
So happy for you to see some folks go out of their busy life to give you and your family the help you need. Great video thanks.
We are so humbled. Thank you, Wayne.
Tim sounds like a great person ! Great video you guys, keep them coming if ya can. Thumbs up !
He's a solid guy that's for sure! Ton of help off the camera as well as I bombard him with questions, haha
Hi everyone , recently found your videos ,Scott would have been proud how your getting er done, it gladens the heart to know people out there are helping you out ,You Tube is a great connector of like minded people. On the maintainance side ,your learning as you go,and from what I see doing a good job,keep up whith the oil and grease. Looking forward to your next video, Best wishes to all from an old mechanic in the UK.
Thank you and welcome to the channel! Will keep up on oil and grease for sure!
Enjoyed the video. Hope y'all get to bale lots of hay. God bless you and your family
We're hoping to be able to fill the barn up soon. Thank you!
You guys are rockin it !!! Nicely done !!
Your doing well guys, keep it up!👍👍. Nice to hear and see you've people near you that can help you out ☺
Thank you! Our viewers are the best!
Loading hay on a trailer or a truck is an art form and it is very easy to make a mess of it. Main result - lost load down the road. You guys did really well. Little trick is to come in slightly forward so you can turn and push the new grapple/gripper (whatever you guys call it in the states) stack into what is already loaded and make it sit tight. Been a few years but it is something you never forget. Good luck with it all and cheers.
Thanks for the tip, Kerry.
god bless you all your doing a great job and enjoy seeing your vlogs
Glad to see you guys have gotten some help to learn about the balers and please never forget safety always comes first and good luck
We are so glad for the awesome people that have stepped up to offer help! We will make sure to be safe always. Thank you!
Glad you are getting help when you need it.
Mighty fine job!! God Bless ya!!
Thank you!
Great job learning fixing and loading with the claw you all doing great and thanks to the guy's helping you let's hope that's the end of problems and you can get on 👍👍
Thank you! I have a feeling we're just getting started, hah!
I love the channel and enjoy the videos. i have went back and watched several videos from the past and I can say your husband and father was quite a guy.I think he is looking down from above and is very proud of his family. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you! I can't quite bring myself there, yet to watch them.
You guys are doing better then pretty good! Be proud of yourselves and the accomplishments! This had work shows your going to do a great job and keep your hay operations goin! So proud of your work ethics and don’t quit work ethic
Thank you kindly.
Great job you all looks like your having fun and learning as you go keep up the great work
Thank you!
Love watching you guys take charge and keep the dream alive.
When there's a will, there's a way!
And if it were easy, EVERYONE would do it!
Whoa, the struggle is real but doable. That learning curve will flatten out as you go.
I look forward to that flattened learning curve!
I'm right there with you, son.
You guys are a joy to watch 👍
That's the goal! Thank you!
Great job and loving the videos
Hey you go girl teaching him very well and it does take a little time because of the visibility and just everything if you ain't used to it and it's always good to see you guys and it looks like things are coming together pretty damn good awesome crowd of people on here and always a big thumbs up nothing but big love from South Carolina we are here for you guys always❤❤😊😊👊👊👊👍👍👍👍
Thank you, Roy. Practice makes perfect.
@@NorthTexasHay you got that right hun❤😊😊
Thanks for the update and thanks to the youtubers who came to help.
Thank you for watching our journey! We are forever grateful to the viewers who have been in contact with us and those who have come out to the farm to help and educate us!
Hello from El Paso, TX! Great Job! I really enjoyed the video! May you and your family have a Blessed Day!
Hello, Michael in El Paso. Thank you!
Nice to see you have some good neighbors. .😊😊😊😊
They're the best!
Was noticing square baler didn't have cranks on rails to compress hay, then you explained the hydraulic adjustment...wow, it's only been about 40 years since I baled hay. Basically your machine looks like same principal as old balers. Hopefully the knotters work better. Have fixed both string & wire knot problems too many times in the hot sun! Love your videos, brings back good memories for sure!
A excellent video Kim and Cody, you are all going well. You can send some of that rain here, very dry here.
I'll be happy to send you some rain. Thanks, Darryl.
looks like you guys are getting it done, good to see
We're trying to! Waiting for the weather to cooperate so we can wrap up this first cutting. Thanks for your comment!
Good video keep up the good work y’all will make it be safe on the farm
Exactly Glenn Hunter , safety is paramount to the business , and farming is one of the most DANGEROUS occupations there are ! You should always fail to the side of safety . Learn the proper way to complete the task at hand , then do that task the same way every time safely . Make sure to stay FOCUSED upon the task , COMPLACENCY is a major reason farm accidents happen . You seem to be catching on quite well . Equipment can be VERY DANGEROUS , Mom has worked most of the equipment on the farm so you guys take her lead and follow her to safety . You should have shop manuals on all of your equipment , on rain out days you should whomever is going to be the maintenance person and learn the proper way to do things and safe way , it is paramount to your health !!!!! Very ,Very SERIOUS , STAY SAFE , EVERYDAY PROTECT LIFE AND LIMBS ...
Thanks, Bryan. We try to be aware at all times. It wasn't the wisest idea to hold the bales while he pushed with the grapple.... I know. I won't do that again. I totally understand what you mean about complacency.
Thank, Glenn.
North Texas Hay that’s good keep up the good work
looks like your all doing a fine job!! Keep up the videos!!
Thank you, John!
Good luck you work hard. Thanks
Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍
I use a bale chamber moisture tester in both the round and square balers. That gives a moisture reading in the cab for you to read on the go. The tester kit is not very expensive, easy to install and gives you good information as you bale. This might be something you would like to look into. For me , I depend more on this than my hands and eyes. I pray for your success.
I am interested in your comment there Dean
I’ve been considering fitting one of these units to my 1839 messy Ferguson over here in the UK
It’s hard to find anyone who has used one in a conventional Baler
Was there any particular make that you have experience of?
Doing good keep up the good work
Great video
It takes time to learn all the in's and out's of the job. I'm sure Scott would be very proud of you.
Thanks, Bradley. I sure hope so.
@@NorthTexasHay You're welcome.
wow, I hadn't watched one of your videos in a while and coiuldn't figure out why you guys didn't know the technical part of fixing the equipment and where Scott was, went back, I am so sorry for your loss, god bless you all, stay strong as a family.
Thank you!
You're very cute and sunny, and you make me smile. Lots of people don't know how to carry on, but you my dear, are doing just that. God Bless.
Thank you so much.
Great Job Everybody...
You and your family are getting a Good Knack at this so far...
It's just gonna take y'all a lil time then Everything and Everybody will be working so smooth with everything...
Great Kudos to your UA-cam fans that came out to help correct problems and give y'all some valuable OJT...
And also to the Service Mechanic who fixed and checked out the equipment...
Yes this Nasty rainy weather needs to disappear for a long time...
Here in Southeast Missouri that storm we had this past Thursday/Friday dropped a Tornado a mile or so away and our power was out about 8 hours...Lots of damage was done here in Jackson and Cape Girardeau too...
Y'all take care...
Hope your able to have a Very Productive Week out in the fields...
Thanx for the video and
Thanx for sharing your story with us Fans... :)
Thanks, Andy. It sounds like that tornado got too close for comfort. We are hoping the weather here finally gives us a break.
Great lessons learned, "you're on your way".
Btw, great video editing!
Just gotta keep on keepin' on!
awesome what a blessing Tim was
Yes, he is a blessing. He just might regret offering us help. Lol
There are probably 3 or 4 sheer pins on that machine , and they need replacing from time to time, good luck with the weather and your machinery, you have lots of courage
Yeah, they are all over!
Hello Freeman Family!!! Another great video. Kim, you are get your toes smashed working in those sandals!
Runs. Ducks.
Momma ganna rock the flops!
lee harkrider C’mon. You’re suppose to have my back, Mr. H.
Good too see you learning by doing you are going to make your husband proud by what you are achieving love from NZ.
Thanks, Barry.
Nice video, you guys are learning a lot way to go.
Thank you!
this stuff is pretty interesting ! i don’t work on a farm but i grew up in the middle of nowhere lol. cool to see what y’all actually do on a day to day ☺️
Thank you! We try that's for sure and we learn a lot as we go.
Outstanding job, pretty impressive HARD work!! I'm from NY and I'm not a farmer BUT I work outside on the roads (county employee) and we don't work that hard. Keep up the good work and keep this country growing from everything that you do!!!
Thank you! I actually grew up in the suburbs and am new to all of this farming stuff. I had no idea how much hard work was involved until now! I have so much MORE respect for farmers now that I truly understand what they do day to day.
Thanks for the video. Love them. Raining here too can't do hay.
It's been a struggle so far for everyone it seems. Here's to a still wet, but better later half of the season!
Good people helping out good people, just great .
We have renewed hope that there are kind, selfless people in this world. We only hope we will be able to return the favor someday!
May God bless you guys!
Thank you!
Working hard great job guys
Thank you, Jason!
Yeah as far as the belts on the round baler you're spot on, i think as your rake brings in the hay it rolls it in from the side and so the outside (2 on each side) belts will do the most work. And most people don't realize there's a BIG difference between "gym muscles" and "farm muscles" lol, but it becomes real apparent when throwing hay for a while. great episode ya'll.
I think you're right about that. I'm not sure it hurts anything to swap them out every once in a while either. Thank you.
U all r going well
So sorry for the loss of Scott. Loved his explanations and wit. I know this is years after the fact but was wondering if you still do any haying and videos for a future come back to the channel?
Great Vid.. Keep them coming !
Thank you!
Good job
You learned a lot your day wasn't wasted because you learned something new lol
Glad you got notes they will be worth more than you expect
Where I'm at in mid southern Wisconsin I seen guys baling mud just trying to get it made and the wrapping the bales making silage bales
I drive milk truck full time and 1 of the farmers told me he has no choice but to wet bale n wrap additional costs about 7 to $10 a bale
I myself most likely not going to be able to make hay again this year it's been 3 days of rain 1-1/2 days of good weather then rain & over cast
This morning I woke up to rain again
The rain seems to be everywhere this year. Sorry, William. Here's a bit of info for you... Scott used to deliver milk to stores back in the day.
@@NorthTexasHay I really wish I could have meet him I bet we could have talked for hours about farming and driving milk truck
Ya'all are awesome!
Thanks!
Glad to see you are getting intimate with the equipment. Best way to learn anything is by doing it. Wish you have the manuals right there too.
We will make sure to have the manuals out with us next time. I plan on writing the maintenance and repairs done on sticky notes to keep in the manuals.
Very good idea!
What a great family.
We are so thankful for your help and our new friendship.
Trey at North Texas Hay anytime brother
@@BigSmiles214, If you're the Tim they are talking about, you're a great person and thank you !
Thank you, Tim. You are the man!!!
Hi, I Enjoyed your video,I think it was the first one for me. Thank You!
Thanks, Steve. I hope you stick around. We are getting a crash course on many aspects we never had to deal with. It's going to be a journey for sure.
Great vid! A little bit of on the job learning! Hang in there!
Thank you, Gene! We will do our best.
@@caraatnorthtexashay3043 when my dad passed away,that first summer was a learning process. I learned to gather all the info I could and then go for it! You learn by trying!!!!
@@genechronister7085 We are trying to do the same thing...research all we can and then dive in! Learning a heck of a lot in a short amount of time. It's working for us so far!
Looks Great. Please Greets my TX. Nice job.
Atta-boys & girls . There's only one way to get experience. All of ya hang in there, you may not see us but we are right behind you.
Central California is watching
Thank you! Just have to tackle these issues one at a time I suppose!
@@treyatnorthtexashay4603 they will come and seem to never stop soon you will be juggling four or five and laughing about it. You've got this, I've been watching and I haven't seen a dummy or a slacker. That's not the case around here lol. CCa.watching
Thank you. It means a lot to our family.
Oh. Y'all are doing great
Thank you, John!
Nothing prettier than a lady working. Best Wishes from Australia
Yea, but were those flip flops I saw her wearing? Cant get much work done around the farm wearing those.
So glad things are coming together all the fixes on the equipment things are looking up i hope mother nature starts to help you to !
We hope so too! We're eagerly awaiting a stretch of dry days so we can get back out in the fields.
Great job:)
Ur doing excellent.love the video
Thank you!
What a lucky guy to be surrounded by such beautiful, talented and tough women........
Awesome video
Good Job you guys will figure all that equipment out it will all seem simple everyone’s got common sense that’s what will make you roll.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Thanks Tim!
He's a solid dude that's eager to help!
You gals are strong and tough!
Thanks!
Good to see you guys are getting going. Saw your boy climb inside to untwist the belt and I'm screaming in my head. I didn't see one but that doesn't mean you don't have one but make sure you have the chamber cylinder locked out via a bar etc. Lines and seals fail and that obviously would be a bad place to be if one of those items fails while your inside. Had an old farmer near us when I was a kid get killed when a corn head fell on him when trying to unclog it. Line failed and head fell on him. Take it easy and good luck with your hay.
Thank you for making sure we are aware of the lock. We double-checked the lock before we started. I don't want anything happening to my boy.
I don't know if you did this, but one thing we learned to do when someone comes over to explain a "new to us" piece of equipment is have someone film it all so we could review it later as needed. Good luck y'all.
Good idea, thanks!
A hard working woman is hard to find. My wife is as hard, a worker , as they come. I so much love her. Been married 35 + years. At 53 she can still hang in there.
Good job keeping up equipment. 👍
Thank you! 35 years is a heck of a long time!
Give your wife a thumbs up for me. ~ Kim
@@NorthTexasHay I sure will . Yall deserve it .👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@NorthTexasHay
Hows everything going.
We need another video, its been 6 days, lol
Luv ur videos.
Tim Hottinger I am visiting my beautiful grandson in Florida. We got finished the night before I left. I’ll be putting a video together and posted by Monday. Sorry for the delay.
Gonna load those bales by hand, you say? Lol, brings back childhood memories on my uncle's farm, probably some of the hardest, heaviest work a person can do....
Luckily, Cody stepped up and gave the grapple a try. Loading by hand is a good workout but moving as many bales as we make would get tiring. Nice to hear from you, Belinda.
Grateful to all those reaching out to you. Throwing those bales around is good exercise, just don't hurt yourself. There's a learning curve in every task, stick with it and take notes. Thanks for posting.
Lift with them legs!
I had sore muscles that I didn't even know I had after loading that trailer. Definitely a workout! Thank you for your comment.
