Nice unit. Thanks for sharing!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

When the community is your entertainment, much can be accomplished through the efforts of all. This is truly inspiring!

man they are fast workers they don't mess around. nicest people you will ever meet.

Nice mules!

3 mules pulling a gas powered sickle bar mower right along. Was the tractor and mo-co Amish owned and operated? 🫏🫏🫏 👍 🇺🇸

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

REMEMBER. No one rides for free….there is a price to be paid in every culture…dig in deep to experience all sides of being Amish, you will be surprised.

Thank you for producing this video. I have always admired the Amish community's ability to come together for helping out each other.

loved it

Cutting hay like that just cant be any good for the back

ការងារល្អណាស់

Excellent!! Thank you!

I put in a steel rack to keep the wood off of bottom, works great now

WHAT'S THE ADDICTION OF TABASCO

HOW MUCH ARE WORTH ACRES

what is the name of this jack? where can I get it ????????????

This is how things were done back when work was hard and people were honest!

Iv'e heard stories from my father of my grandfather having a threshing machine. It of course was pulled from farm to farm with horses. It was ran by a motor mounted on a wagon with a belt. During threshing season he would thresh for several of the local farms. He would take it to one farm and thresh and when done he would hitch up the horses and take it to the next farm. The farmer that he had just threshed for would hitch his horses to the wagon with the motor and take it to the next farm. At one time he also had a hammer mill. It was run with a Farmall Super C. On fridays he would run it from early in the morning til late at night grinding corn and wheat for neighboring farmers. I wish I could have been around in those day just to witness neighbor helping neighbor.

I believe the baler to be one of first w/ automatic knotters ,thus a great improvement to haymaking. Prior to that were hand tye.

Incredible team work - was there someone in charge ?

I always like seeing that old horse drawn farm equipment work.

Truly amazing!!!!!! No one could do it better. All things are possible through GOD!

The Amish have a lot of heavy equipment!

thnk you Amish Pa t his vid was M OST INFORMATIVE

Outstanding video, just one "thought", and it really doesn't change any aspect of the build, except how the hinge straps interacts with the hinge bolt. By allowing the strap to "sag" with the play at the joint, you are creating a situation where all the friction and ware are concentrated on a very small surface area, both at the bottom of the strap and the top, where it rotates on the bolt. The one suggestion I have would be to raise the other end of the strap up, after you have attached the first bolt hole at each end. Then I'd tighten the bolt to hold the strap in place and continue with the build. By doing this you will enable the bottom of the strap to distribute all the friction and ware to the bolt, making for much less ware over decades. This is a tiny change, takes no extra time and improved the outcome significantly. Again, this is a really good video, thank you for taking the time to share!

very nice video like me much, I like much love much Amish people have a life style like me much. thanks for video, have a good happy life all Amish people. with love.

The standing baler was very inefficient and would of burnt more fuel than modern balers.😢

Great video but you probably shouldn't have kept footage of people who clearly don't want to be filmed 22:48

I live near an Amish community in Kentucky. After I had a heart attack they asked what I wanted to do. I said i didn’t know. They said we think you should build a new shop at the bottom of the hill. Bigger and easier to work in. I bought the materials. They brought the manpower to build and the woman power to feed. In four days (4!!) they finished a 4,000 sq foot building!! Everything except the electrical. Done in the dead of winter freezing cold. Kids, young men , old men. Everyone just knew what to do!! What a blessing. I’m their volunteer ambulance now whenever anyone needs to go to hospital night or day. I feel life has gotten better and better. That’s neighboring. Anybody anywhere can do it. Put God first then help your neighbor. You won’t regret it!

Such beautiful music!!!

The reason they use a long belt is to keep the steam engine a distance away so sparks from the funnel will not ignite the straw. To tie the bags, they use a Miller's knot. Thanks for showing the men using the wires to make the bales. My uncle had a board that had a crank on one end to make the loop on the wire, and the other end had a cutter to cut the wires to length.

I remember using a thresher like that, we powered it with a Farmall F20.

Being old and weak why do the bags weigh 50 pounds. I could handle 25 lbs. 😂 you'd have to keep me a distance away in case I swooned.

Amazing work. Thanks for sharing.

First thing I would do would be to remove the nail/screw/glass that punctured the tire...

😊😊 thats how most equipment was back then flat belt U used a tractor 🚜 😊 or a stationary engine 2 pull belt driven then later on they went 2 PTO shaft equipment and tractors had live PTO that engine has a friction clutch pulley just like a PTO clutch U can in gauge it w out stopping the engine 😊😊 OMG 9 21 2O24

I also really like it in this video that women are represented. They have always played a big role in agriculture and still do. And how nice it was when everybody worked together, not the lonely enterprise it is today with one person on the tractor doing it all, the mowing, the raking, the baling, the hauling.

Great to see somebody using the scythe. In our neck of the woods(or fields) I seem to be the only one still mowing a lot with it. And the gentleman even shows how to peen it. All the gentlemen are using an Austrian style scythe. I have four of them and love them. But the horse-drawn mower surely made it easier to mow larger areas.

One other thing. Who milked the cows during all of this, and where did it happen? Was it by hand or some kind of portable mechanical milkers?

I'd also be very interested in knowing how they came up with structural dwg's for the different buildings so quickly. Do the Amish have predetermined size barns with dwg's already available for just such occurrences?

I'd be very interested to know how they kept the silo's plumb while they were constructing each level?

Thank you for sharing these wonderful seens.

Its amazing at all the technology that has changed in farming but the knotters on that old baler are the same as what is used today. Atleast for the most part.

4:12 a gap under the metal that large will make servicing it and getting up on it at a later date to service it without dent or seambdamage nearly impossible. You need to always assume worst case that someone will always just try to walk or crawl up there in an emergency or roof repair

I am not American but I am curious. Do Amish people vote in US elections?

I went to the same living history demonstration several years ago and it was great! I saw old hay making equipment in use that I had only seen setting idle in fields and barns. The Swiss Pioneers have a great club and membership.

Each video surpasses the previous one. Great job Thanks!
