A Beautiful Day Raking and Baling Hay

[@MarthaAngell-dl7qu]

Pete I a 84 yr old enjoy watching you as I relive my days in North Iowa watching my uncles work Grandmothers farm. My job was to ride to town(Albert Lea, MN ) to gets parts to repair the machinery. Of course I would get ice cream for all my work! The years I talking about are 1944 -1950. No internet or Amazon to get parts or instructions of course! They did have the machinery no horses! At that time. Grandparents. Last name was Grabriel farmed that same farm from 1890s till 1990! This farm was bought from Union men that receive small acres for fighting in the Civil War, my Great Grandfather bought enough for his sons to each have a 100 acre farm! My Grandmother (from Norway for whom I was named) raised 11 children on that farm ! Sorry for the lengthy story! Martha Marie

[@NonTypicalRacing]

That ain't a lengthy story, THAT'S HISTORY! Thank you ole bud.

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

I love these stories! Thank you.

[@lynnsweeney4529]

It is so wonderful to hear a little history. Thank you sir for sharing your story. 😊

[@FoxtrotYouniform]

I loved reading your story, Martha! Thank you 😊

[@davidgetchell3633]

Good day Martha, those were the good old days, gone but not forgotten!

[@oldmanrock7542]

A knowledgeable farmer with old well-kept equipment can do a fine job. No internet and no GPS. Just the basics. Pete is a master at keeping it simple.

[@4gottenShadow]

There is something so relaxing about these hay cutting, raking and bailing videos from Pete. The ambient noise, the sound of the machinery, Pete's commentary and the way Pete shoots the footage. Just perfect.

[@damienkimball9098]

Thank you Pete and Hillary for all the time and effort you put into the vids and the farm and allowing me to tag along. Your vids are uplifting, each and every one.

[@samvalentine3206]

You said it for many of us... me for sure!

[@Sim_JFD]

Your haying videos are so oddly relaxing

[@seanmahoney2755]

I know that machines don’t have emotions, but that beautifully restored tractor sounds happy. Can you hear it? That is a happy tractor.

[@autodidactin]

Loved the explanation of the raking plan Pete! So satisfying when each field is so expertly and elegantly harvested. Nothing more enjoyable than seeing a job well done.

[@retyroni]

Hello from Australia. Extra engagement for the algorithm in appreciation of you wearing a proper hat in the sun.

[@janhorton5197]

60 years ago as a young newlywed living in Australia, I would go and watch the local farmers band together to make huge haystacks. Their wives would turn up for morning smoko. tea, cakes, scones. Lunch was, sandwiches, meat pies, sausage rolls, apple pies, etc

[@jmalone2758]

Day that have become cherished memories. I think we're headed back to that time again, I welcome it.

[@waynemoore8730]

You’re making me hungry. Starting to drool.

[@stumpy2816]

​@jmalone2758

[@paulmanson253]

Ah,scones. Raisin scones,with homemade blackberry jam. Great Aunt Laura was born East of Liverpool. Homemade scones still warm from the oven,part of my childhood in Canada. Whether pronounced s-con,s-cone,or schoon,the taste is the same. And with the likes of KZbin,anyone so inclined can teach themselves this traditional treat.

[@deborah2302]

Good eating, for sure!

[@Manoffire260]

You’ve never created a video that I didn’t LOVE - thanks!

[@jamjar5716]

You out did yourself with all the different angles from the camera and from the drone! Well done!

[@georgedrollinger5589]

That was fantastic having the camera inside showing the bail getting bigger and bigger. Never seen that before on anybody else's videos. I pray you have a blessed day

[@samvalentine3206]

12:50 - that was an interesting shot, watching the bale grow bigger and bigger!

[@robmichalowski8428]

I heard they outlawed the round biles because the cow union said the cows are not getting a square meal

[@ppi8922]

So much nicer to watch a video where it's not made to be dramatic and stressful and made to be a big deal. It's just real and not dramatic.

[@RS-sl5ko]

Wife bringing husband water in the field! Now that is special and shows family commitment and love.

[@krowmanful]

I really like the high altitude shots you do.

[@opendstudio7141]

Shows off how neatly laid out the legacy farms were; back when people were smarter.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Yes indeed!

[@devinc923]

Hillary always seems like the sweetest person. You’re lucky to have her. “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” Proverbs 18:22. You are blessed Pete.

[@deborah2302]

And Pete is blessed to have Hillary.

[@donvincent895]

Glad you’re getting good hay weather

[@rachelackerman2024]

Pete, you should take photos of all your tractors and make a calendar! I would buy one!

[@ritabrunetti381]

Hello Pete & Hillary. Great watching Pete bale his hay. Sounds like some good planning for next winter. Hope your season at that farmers market will continue to be successful!!! Trying to get out to the market. Wish me luck!🥰🐷🦃🐮🐔

[@LT.X380]

Very interesting video. I love the hay operation. Stay safe my friends. God bless you all. 🙏🙏🇺🇸

[@jdschini]

Thank you for a wonderful video on the process of round baling hay Pete! I really enjoyed seeing your Super C in action again. Which was also our “go to” tractor for raking hay on our dairy farm. We installed an umbrella on it for those really long hot days. And my mom would bring me a cold jar of water just like Hillarie brought to you. The drone footage was fantastic as always. You produce and post the best videos on U Tube my friend! And I appreciate every one of them. Have a blessed day!

[@akelkhunter]

Pretty satisfying watching that old equipment doing what they were by meant to do. A few classic calendar quality shots in the video.

[@davehafso7003]

Pete you should get an award for your camera work! I love the drone footage!!

[@robbwood7203]

Still squealing on start up... nice bales... glad you got you got them done in your weather window.. good job Pete..

[@glenwitteman2585]

Thanks for a beautiful video. I believe the Super C is one of the classiest tractors in your tool box. The round bales are a work of art. I'm old now, but I do remember the square bales tied with wire or string and two hay hooks to get them up on the back of the flat bed truck. In the 60's us high school kids got 1 cent a bale, in the barn. Several years later, it went to 2 cents. We were swimming in the money! Thank you, Pete.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Story of my life too! A river ran next to all the fields we hayed for my grandpa so on the last load, we would stop next to the river, jump in to cool off and wash the hay dust off. Grandpa had a 1939 IH two ton flat bed that would hold 84 bales. It was about 2 miles to the barn so on a good day we did 4 loads in the morning, 4 in the afternoon. Grandpa raised watermelons. He would put one in a feed sack and lower it into the well in the morning. About mid afternoon, he would meet us at the barn with a nice cool melon! Those were the days!

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Oh, we had a mechanical hay loader that attached to the side of the truck. One drove, on lined the bales up for the loader and one stacked. I wish I knew what happened to the '39 IHC, grandpa's '47 IHC pickup and that old hay loader.

[@steveshaver3197]

Enjoy your videos. They are informative, entertaining, and relaxing. Thanks Pete and Hillary.

[@DJ-bh1ju]

Most of the hay for the coming winter already accounted for... and on only the first cutting.... NICE !!!!

[@dmunoz1943]

Mr. Pete, than you for showing us how you’re getting that hay ready for bailing. I’m alway fascinated when driving down country roads and farmers are baling their hay, one year I had to stop and watch, to see how that big old round bail came out of the bailer. Curiosity. Lots of hard work owning aa farm, but lots of good rewards. Blessings.

[@lynnogle9154]

Pete, I really like the way you farm. You and wife have a peaceful way of life, more people need to learn your peace. We live in the Mountains of western Montan and have a 30 acre peace of property, mostly timber. Different way of peace still it is peaceful as well. Enjoy the way you live, few really do. Lynn P Ogle

[@avahightower4685]

Your video's are so wonderful and satisfying, it compels me to leave a comment even when I'm feeling too lazy to type. lol That's how much I love your video's. It was wonderful crawling inside a hay baler and watching up close how it works. Love the smooth jazz at the end. So excellent. So good. Thank you.

[@7draxo]

The photography and imaging are just awsome. The shots inside the baler and drone imaging make me feel like I'm with you. What an effort! I never get bored.

[@joerodrigues3816]

Great job as always mate thanks again and all the best to you and your family and your friends

[@FredDent-m5b]

Good job Mr. Pete always enjoy your videos. I lived on a Pig farm from age 11 until I married at 22. Unfortunately my 2 younger brothers could not keep. So the folks retired from farming. Dad had always worked in Supervision in a Canadian steel while working the farm. I think now I should have built a house on the farm and stayed. I became a PipeFitter. My formative years on the farm where a lot of hard work but enjoyable. Great memories.Dad used to say the problem with pigs is there up and down (PRICE) like the brides PJ's., Fred

[@stevenstrassberg3776]

These are my favorite starting with this series last year. I'm probably the only NY cake decorator who knows how hay is made and bailed.

[@hunterjaco347]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, best farm content on KZbin

[@mono4643]

These haymaking videos are food for my soul. Keep up the stellar work Pete!

[@Josephineviard-z6i]

Love your videos and Hilary working with you. Sweet couple.

[@julianlavergne]

You gotta love the smell of a freshly cut hay field. One of my favorites aromas.

[@MarkPowell-bz8em]

Enjoy watching you use this equipment from days gone past. Nice shirts too, Go Dawgs!

[@LoreGordon]

God Bless you Pete and your family- you create so much joy !!!

[@andyhalpin6237]

I would rather watch farmers like you Pete then anything on the boob tube. Nice job liked your layout of the of the field

[@kimhupp6072]

This is a wonderful video. Camera placements produced fascinating views. Thank you. I'm sure making this video was a time consuming task. It was certainly appreciated.

[@joeanonemouse]

13:51 😂🤣🤣 At some future date some kid is going to be very fortunate to have you as Gampa! 😁 Love your channel Pete, thank you. PS I have never seen a round bale being started from inside of the round baler, so thanks for that too. 👍

[@corybiltz2461]

I just love seeing the old equipment out working

[@mikeyhanson78]

You and Hillary are such a great team. You guys are a great example of what it takes to have a successful farm/business and a great marriage.

[@edwindegroot3235]

Pete I can watch this all day, love it! Thank you.

[@abag817]

I enjoy watching and hearing the tractors and equipment working.

[@josephschmidt369]

Back in 1955 I was 8 years old. I drove a DC Case tractor with a hand clutch too short to reach foot pedals. We had a John Deere baler with a 30 hp Wisconsin motor. Dad would direct me from the hay wagon. When I became 12 years old I was promoted to the hay-mow big enough to lift bales. Mom took over the tractor driving. Loved every minute of the farm life.

[@jagriffin1]

I love watching these kind of videos because I know Pete is in his happy place! ❤❤

[@clintellis4636]

The sound of your equipment could put me to sleep. Love the channel and the content

[@mandykal]

Today was a moment I wish I can quit nursing and go farming … 24 years ago there was a different type of patients to care for… these days this generation blame the world for their problems and expect staff to jump when they are in need. Your videos gives me a coping strategy of relaxation..

[@deborah2768]

So happy for you and Hillarie. You're on your way to 500k subscribers . We'll deserved too. Loved the hay raking/baling. I'm a 68 y/o woman, never farmed, suburbanite and love each and every video you share. Enjoy the nice weather and we will all be here giving you thumbs up.😊

[@deannamoreton8253]

a long hard day, have a cup of tea now. Love the part inside the baler interesting to see the workings

[@christinebake3989]

Great joke today. Love watching you both farm. As i remember farming except we baled small squares. Its mesmerising watching you go up and down the rows of raked hay and watching how your r ound baler works . Its 3pmhere i. Western Australia. On the south west coast . Its rainig now we harvet here tochristmas or end of november. Start its winter here now and uts been very dry here for 8months. So the patter splatter of rain is very welcome. Thankyou you always put out great content. I hope the rest of the family are keeping well.

[@robertblackman3451]

The way you make hay, makes an awfully nice bale of hay!!! Keep up the good work!

[@josephmay8837]

Pete, this is a great video! Most people never see what happens inside the baler while it is running. Your footage was excellent. Keep up the great videos. We really enjoy them. Hi from Fannin County Texas.

[@marcgordon2416]

Old farming and modern farming. Beautyfull to see this .

[@dejavu666wampas9]

Awesome videography. Especially the drone footage.👏👏👍

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

That’s great looking hay, and the weather cooperated!

[@stumpy2816]

Love how neat the bales are coming out of the baler.👍👍

[@glrider100]

I like how you rake.. Having done more raking and bailing than I care to remember. What your method does do is eliminate all the tiny, tedious turning required if you simply raking in a spiral pattern. Which is how I was taught. Wonderful video.. And again.. I love the sound of the 756's diesel....

[@CohassetJim]

Near the end there was a shot of a bale being dumped with the clouds behind. Could have been a painting. Your videographer has a natural talent! (Hillary?). Just beautiful to watch!

[@ericsbr]

I love the randomness of the finished bales scattered around the field.

[@julianlavergne]

Thank you Pete. I have finally seen how the bale is made from the inside view of a round baler. I never understood how that worked until today.

[@jennyb7318]

If it was so easy to make hay - everyone would be doing it. Love your vids.

[@FarmFreshIB]

I really enjoyed you describing your mow pattern. I grew up watching people baking hay, but the specifics were never explained. You should do a how to ... With all the levers and pedals of how to drive a tractor and how to hook up and operate different implements. There are a ton of city folk that end up buying a few acres and a tractor that have no idea how to even turn one on.

[@rileyreeves621]

The sound of the 756 is so soothing! I could fall asleep just listening to that alone.

[@waderue]

aw remind me days go by of when I was a younger man and how I loved to hay season and the long hot hours of cutting and bailing

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

I thought this was a great video. I love making hay.the tractors sound great. Glad everything went well. Have a great day and I'll see you later.

[@MrHonda5090]

Loving the matching Georgia shirts from you and Helen!! My son and I love your videos! Greetings from Michigan

[@JetTech1992]

I’ll admit I do like the cutting, raking, windrow, and the bailing, but the super duper absolutely best part of your field work is, the manure spreading. Nobody I’m mean nobody is better a flinging manure like my man Pete. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tmoshe5026]

Hillary to the Rescue!!! That made me drink my water too :) Pete thank you love these hay videos and the tutorial that goes through it. I may never be a farmer but I do appreciate your work on these hay cutting, raking and baling. I miss the farmers market but I do understand.

[@lynnsweeney4529]

Good morning Pete and Hillary. I love just about every video, from watching you cut the hay to bailing it up, showing us your moody cows, to the chickens. I do admit I miss Billy, he was a handsome friendly guy. We do understand that you must do for your farm, what you must do. We are just so grateful that in all the busy things you have going on, that you take the time to make your wonderful videos. Also must say I am also looking for to fall for tractor 🚜 rebuilds. Thanks again. 😊

[@SM-cg2dc]

Love the drone footage. The inside view of the baler was great, never seen that before. 👍

[@projectportugal]

Absolutely loved this❤, well done Pete

[@RadioMan666]

Like the old saying, you gotta make hay while the sun shines. You’re an artist, Pete! 👍👍

[@robertmannel4446]

Stop everything. Here it comes..... the Dad joke. Hilarious! Just love this one. Well done on the process of cutting, raking, baling hay. I am fascinated.

[@348Tobico]

What a Beee-utiful hay harvest. And now I understand how you get such nice tight bales than unfurl in nice thick layers so they stand upright when you feed. Great planning makes working the bales in the winter so much easier. Thanks for all your hard work. Hillary reminds me of myself with her taking you some cool water while you work hard. I love doing that for my hubby and I know Hillary loves doing it too. The camera shots this time were awesome! I think I got a little sunburn just watching you. Or maybe that's just memories. I know you use LOTS of sunscreen.

[@morekare57]

Thank you sir! As always, I learn alot. We need to bale our 40 acres - needed to months ago - am not certain which equipment to buy - so many choices! Have never done this before. Have not baled before - most recently using rotational grazing and that works great until hard, wet winter sets in and I want to feed hay to my herds (horses, cows, goats, sheep). Praying we make the right choices and I do feel more confident after watching your videos. Thank you again - may God continue to bless you greatly.

[@westrotter7847]

Talk about satisfying !!! I remember doing this when i was a kid. Love it !!!❤

[@jeankipper6954]

I love telling your Dad jokes to people!

[@cathyversteeg3051]

There's nothing like seeing results from your efforts!

[@reggierico]

Hi Pete! Those bales came out nice and tight! Great job! Love it when Hillary brought you your water.

[@evelynmueller6523]

Loved seeing the process and the eyes inside the baler itself....

[@Julia_Teeker]

Excellent camera footage, explanations of everything you were doing and the drone shots. My anticipation in waiting for hay time was well worth it. Thank you and God bless. ❤️

[@claramurzynski6739]

I'm always fascinated by these balers.

[@russbedenbaugh4558]

Thank you, that was the best and most informative video on how a bailer actually works.

[@sdrailfan892]

Great inside the bailer video shot.

[@mikewatson4644]

Brings back memories. We had a JD sickle bar mower to cut with mounted on a Farmall 300, then raked with a NH 3 point rake on a Ford 8N and baled with a NH Super 66 baler pulled with a Fordson Major Diesel. Baling was the worst because you almost always had the wind behind you in 1 direction and it was just the right speed to bring all the dirt and dust blowing up on you. Oh, and it was usually 90° plus. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@timothyrill3825]

A beautiful thing when it goes as planned ! The equipment performed as planned , Hillary knew it was time for water and knew to get your lunch ready....TEAM WORK !!!!! Documented on film.....you only need to write a book of motivation. Great job Pete ! Thank you for sharing.❤

[@bbrewfus6127]

How I wish I was on that Super C like I was mowing in the summer when I was 15. I envy you, Pete. ❤️

[@TyPey-e3z]

I could watch that all day long!

[@gordfinlay5558]

You did a great job restoring that tractor

[@Nosecrusher]

I'm sneezing just watching!

[@thomasaanderson9679]

Your video production and drone operation are first class !

[@johnnycampbell2719]

Watching you rake hay is super relaxing, I enjoyed your explanation of how and why you do it your way. Thanks for a great video

[@greatlakeswoodworks5122]

What a great channel. From the every day field work to animal care to tractor restoration!!!! it cant get better!! Subscribed!!

[@jenaswartout4399]

The most beautiful rows of hay I have ever seen Mr. Pete. And the Farmall was just humming like the well-maintained tractor that it is.

[@1425race]

Haymaking is so satisfying, like a squirell storing his nuts for the winter, harvesting nature sustainably and just reward for all the hard work to get to harvest time. Great vid Pete.
