10 Year Old Baling Hay!

[@allitouchexplodes5810]

1) For a 10 year old, these are the memories that will last forever. Best days evar!!!! 2) As a 52 year old computer systems analyst, there is a part of me that wishes he was 10 years old again. Watching this video is just like I were riding with Zach, learning stuff... like a 10 year old. 3) I recognized those mountains in the distance immediately when they show up in the video. I was stationed at Luke Air Force Base (which is north of Buckeye AZ) for 5 wonderful years. Best stateside assignment ever. I used to make a weekly trip to that exact same Sonic for the foot long chili dogs and onion rings. Would move back to the Valley of the Sun in a heartbeat if I knew I could land a decent job. I wonder if Bales Hay Farm has a use for a seasoned computer nerd / mechanic / radio repairer. 4) That bale stacker is amazing. When I was a teenager, I was the bail stacker - no gas or oil, just feed me 3 squares and provide a place to sleep. 5) Thank you for sharing your trips around to other farms. This kind of content is great for everyone to see and learn. Keep it between the rows.

I really like the way they show the kid respect. He's not just a kid, moore like an equal partner.

Yep..............I STILL love field trip days! It was neat to see the Bales operation. I'd never seen such a large scale hay operation before this. We grew up in a farming community, so I've seen 100 acres fields of hay being harvested, but never on the scale these folks are at!

[@arthenry498]

THAT, was totally fantastic!! I really enjoyed this one!! Great to see how other farmers do their thing. Kinda specialized here. That cutter moves pretty fast compared to baling, plowing, and planting back in MN. Your interaction with other people is really good. It makes the video most enjoyable AND I pick up lots of smarts in the process!! Great video, such superb editing too!! Thanks Becky!! And I really liked how Onyx took to driving a different machine like that. It is great that you integrate him into all this stuff. Great boy!!

[@grisenmay]

This video brings back so many good memories for me. Running in the ditches as a kid. Taking my shift on the swather with my dad and brother, as we would run it around the clock until the all the hay was cut. Then, when the hay was ready, my uncle would wake me early to join him, another uncle and my grandpa to bale while the dew was on. Really great memories. Thanks for sharing this video. Onyx is a blessed young man.

[@brandonboehmer1724]

Holy shit he is one of the best bosses to work for. Someone who actually cares about this employees and his equipment. But also Zack you are in that category aswell buddy. ❤️

[@bradyelich2745]

I started in field when I was 6, picking stones by hand all day with Dad. Picked stones by myself with tractor since 12, after I serviced the equipment. I was even moving equipment 15 miles down the roads. Started driving pickup when I was 9. Dad bought a grain vac and a stone picker when I graduated grade 12. Pissed me off, still can't get over that.

I got to this channel through a you-tuber that plays farming simulator (whose channel doesn't get as many views as it used to) I really dig watching actual farming, it helps that I too live in MN. :) The stacker looks cooler than some of the stuff we have in the game. The short time I got to live outside the cities, we WERE the stackers, an arm would deposit a bale on the front of the truck and we had to schlep it over and stack it. :/ it was great fun for 10-12 yo boys, for about half as long as they wanted us to do it. Thanks for making me feel old Z. I graduated high school in '83. Awesome channel

Tell Onyx that memory will live with him for a lifetime. I remember my first time cutting and bailing with the old Allis-Chambler some 50 plus years ago. I was about 14 years old. And driving the old Chevy Elcameno at 14 about 5 miles to pick up feed and seed. They can't do that today. Fond memories for a lifetime. Enjoy them Onyx. Greetings from Lancaster county Pa.

Great video Zhac, I was impressed by Trevor's Irrigation system, it works the same as our Famous PA Yeoman's Key Line flood irrigation,he was a Mining Engineer he developed the Key Line system back in 1960 ,He used to flood irrigate in a similar way, about 15 acres would only take a hour to irrigate, that was a lot of water , for every acre 1 inch of rain equals about 27,154 gallons so I think it would take 4 inches over 15 acres to irrigate it in one hour. I could see his reasoning , Trevor was smart to see its the quickest way to irrigate a lot of paddock area in small areas and the cheapest. Thank you for such a good video Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.
