    A farmer is always resourceful to fix problems. So lucky to have good hay weather.

    I sold Kevin the New Holland big square baler when he bought it new. Enjoy watching your videos and hi to everyone.

    • @acresofclayhomestead
      @acresofclayhomestead  3 місяці тому +3

      Jim! Yes, you also sold you the hay rake. 😀 That baler has been a good piece of equipment for us!!
      Hope you are doing well.

    Not many people would have thought to use a tape measure for a knife. Nice work Rhonda. A pocket knife would be nice to have in a case like this.

    What a sweet lady; "I slow down and watch for baby Deer". Those bales are pretty big not sure what they weigh or how many small bales they equal, but it would be a lot easier to pick up because you use a machine!

    • @acresofclayhomestead
      @acresofclayhomestead  3 місяці тому +3

      Our bales weigh 800 lbs, and there's about 20 small bales in each bale.

    Holy cow, that must have taken a long time to cut through twine with a tape measure! Now that takes some patience and wisdom! 😅

    • @acresofclayhomestead
      @acresofclayhomestead  3 місяці тому +2

      It took a while! Plus, it was in a hard to reach place, so the cut was slow going. 🐌 😄

    Those hydraulic hoses can be a real hassle, my youngest son and I have a lot of older equipment and we're dealing with a broken-worn out shoe on his discbine, so we just bent it down and finished the field he was in. Us farmers just do our best, given the circumstances. Good luck on the rest of the season, I hope all goes well and I want to wish Kevin a Happy Father's Day!

    I have ran a few fawns through a conditioner. Always hated that but you can’t see them from the tractor seat and when they get scared they just lay down as flat as they can instead of running away.

    Another great video from a great family !!! Thank you Rhonda for sharing !!! Very smart to use tape measure to clear the knotter!!! We always used a 268 NH square baler. One or the other knotters would clog up often. I have made do with a lot of different utensils before if I had forgotten my knife. Finally left my knife in the small toolbox where we kept the shear bolts. Please be careful and God bless you all !!!!! Edd

    I'm sure a lot of viewers will be sending you knives to be permanently kept in the cab of the tractor to help deal with such issues as twine cutting. Excellent thinking outside the box! A tape measure saved the day.

    Happy belated Father's Day to Kevin!!! Will we need to wish Seth and Ethan a Happy Father's Day next year?!?! It is frustrating when you just get something fixed, and the same thing happens again. Aren't all farmers supposed to have a pocket knife with them all the time?!?! (Ha!Ha!)

I know it's been a few weeks since it happened, but how is Seth's injury? Wishing Kevin a joyous Father's day. Blessings on your faminly and farm. Stay safe

    Ronda. What you need on all or most of your tractors is what they used to be called a Suicide Knob. But I believe that it’s called a wheel spinner so you can do two things at once, hold the camera and turn the wheel at the same time Just a suggestion 😊

    • @acresofclayhomestead

      I couple of our tractors have a knob, but not all of them. They are very handy to have, though!!

    Hi Ronda, I have mowed my grass 5 times so far this year. But I just started mowing at another house for the first time and that grass is over 3 feet tall. In the 9 yrs that I've owned that house I've never let it go this long. It is seeding like crazy. It's clay soil too. Thank you for revealing today style haying. It's been over 55 yrs since I've done any haying. Good video. Good people. Bye for now. ben/ michigan

    Years ago I swathed a patch of brome. I got to last strip across the field. A coyote come out , if looks could kill I'd be dead! A couple weeks later I swathed the patch of Sudan grass next to it. The coyote come out , trotted away from me , sniffing the base of the windrow. It caught something , ate it , trotted away!

    Miss Rhonda, next time you go Tractor Supply pick up a couple of pocket knives,maybe a pouch and put that on a belt. Put that where you will see it every day before you walk outside, and have a knife for yourself. They may even have one in pink ! You using a tape measure as a knife on the fly was outstanding. Don't ever under estimate Miss Rhonda !
