Athens Tennessee Hay Day | Mowing Raking Baling & Wrapping

Athens Tennessee Hay Day | Mowing Raking Baling & Wrapping
In this video I am at Ag Central Coop in Athens Tennessee for their annual customer hay day event. This was a two day event held April 30 & May 1. On day number one the hay was mowed down and on day number two we raked, baled and wrapped the high moisture hay, This was an event for local farmers to come see and even run the equipment in the field.

lol, that one round bale that just decided to start rolling away on its own before it could be wrapped is hilarious 😂😂😂

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

As Mike said the same thing happened last year also. Good stuff !

[@tacosntractors]

Farming Simulator physics IRL

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

I remember last years video that bale rolling way down the hill towards the building also until someone cut it off. LOL - Thanks Mike !

[@jeffreyhoover2105]

I enjoyed this mowing raking and baling and wrapping mike thank you for all the work you put into each of your videos . I love ❤️ the smell of fermented hay when they are wrapped in plastic.

[@outbackladas]

People think cars and trucks are advanced these days... Farming equipment is so ridiculous on how far it has come. Truly fascinates me how it all works. Love seeing it all in action

[@jls1045]

Ah, this brings back so many memories I spent on the farm growing up in Indiana many years ago. There is nothing like the sweet smell of freshly cut hay! Thanks for another great video. Love from TX.😊❤

[@randywilson9611]

Great video Mike and good to see you

[@countpicula]

Me and my daughter love watching your stuff big boss. She’s three and loves combines.

[@lol-vz8kd]

Lots of hills, looks like where I live!

[@byrneagri]

Great to see so much Irish gear on display so far away from home

[@garlandhenry6792]

Wish I had known about the field day. I live just down the road in Cleveland Tennessee and would have loved seeing the demonstrations, have visited this coop numerous times

[@404nitro]

Those Deutz tractors are really great looking machines

Something very relaxing about this process. Was sad when the video ended.

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@scottpykare801]

I enjoyed Mike how you wrapped up the video.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Nice looking equipment, good video Mike 👍👍.

[@mikerichardson9778]

I live two towns over from where you were with this video.

[@AkbarMoncongloe]

Healthy and successful always friend 👍

[@tacosntractors]

That's neat. I never expected to see McHale balers/wrappers stateside, they've always struck me as something that's rarely seen outside of Ireland and the UK.

[@TractorChamp.]

❤Very nice video Mike.

[@wolfgangoberkofler2785]

Hello Mike, hello viewers, hello farmers and all those who have agricultural knowledge or experience. I have a question. In the video you can see conditioners on the mowers who immediately bend the mowed material and spread it wide. A few days ago a trader said to me that this is not so good for the quality of the crop because molehills seem to contaminate the grass much more than if you first mow it and then spread it wide. I understand that too and it makes sense to me. But I have quite sensitive and often wet floors and so I think a conditioner could save me at least one pass with the tedder. By the way, the risk of food contamination doesn't decrease if I have to drive the tedder more often. what is your opinion on this? I would be excited to receive answers. oh, by the way: sorry for the long novel... 🤭 Greetings from an italian farmer Wolfgang P.S. Great channel!!

[@franciscosandiego3026]

I like Mike less videos on KZbin from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲

[@theburnhams2925]

It must be nice havin' tractors just WAITING for something to do.....

Athens is the county seat of Mcminn County, named for some relative I'm shore!

Hello from Po Dunk

😎😎

[@desross2002]

Why so narrow windrow with the claas?

[@DeBa1226]

How good is that soil down there?

[@tooez90]

Does all that plastic wrap get recycled ?

[@stevearmstrong5321]

And my question would be how many feet of wrap per bale....................

[@4DModding]

yes it can be recycled

[@LanceMcCloskey-sq7hd]

How come someone hasn't invented a round bailer that doesn't have to stop to dump a bail? It would save significant fuel and time. It wouldn't be that hard, just need a place for the old bail to move to while it starts a new bail

[@4DModding]

In Europe we have the Vicon Fastbale (continuous baler wrapper, the Krone Ultima and Lely had a baler in development called the CB concept

[@farmhandmike]

There has been some test balers that can do this. It would definitely add to the cost.
