Baling Hay... and Things Are Still Breaking!

We start baling hay for the 2019 hay season... so much for problems coming in threes. We pull out the John Deere 6120R for the first time this year. What could possibly go wrong now?
Every day is a new learning experience for our family. Join us as we carry on Scott's legacy in our North Texas hay fields. We love and miss you, Captain Skittles!

[@isabellmizizzy214]

Keep on keeping on! Every problem is truly a learning experience and is part of farm life. Hugs to you and your family for continuing on with Scott’s legacy.

Let Mom know I'm serious about building her the new grapple for the farm. I told her if she buys the materials for the grapple I would fly down to build it for hee for free. I know Scott wanted to get 1 built for this Season and I would love to make it happen for the farm so you don't have any break downs because of it and after I finish the new grapple I will repair the old grapple so you have a back up on the farm.

[@dougbarber4209]

Iv been watching your channel for over a year now, I thought you guys made a great team! I was shocked to hear the news about Scott, I personally learned a lot from watching him. We are up in Utah and have a smaller hay business putting up small square bales in fact after I showed my wife a few videos of you in the tractor making hay she decided that she wanted to give it a try on our farm!! Let’s just say I don’t get to bale anymore, she loves it. So I just wanted to say your doing amazing, it is so cool to see family’s pull together to get the job done. Your boys and you are killing it!!! Thanks for continuing to post up videos and taking us along for the ride!!

[@NorthTexasHay]

Thanks, Doug. Tell your wife hello for me. I love that she took over the baler. She sounds like my kind of lady.

[@greenhorn223]

Great job sticking with it!

I learned the same way you are when my grandfather passed in 2014. Keep going and you'll do great!

We are sticking with it. I already feel more comfortable with the equipment.

[@JJKHaywood]

Quite an operation Y’all have... Many Moons Ago our 2 Baler Mechanics would return to the Ford Tractor Dealership On Friday to get paid and restock parts for there service trucks. Then off they went for 8 months In Eastern Washington State. They Generally took winters off to Spend their Bounty. These guys were hard core. Always busy and made a lot of money fixing Balers and Tractors. Best wishes Haywood412. P.S. To Clarify, “That was before my time at the dealer”. Just a little history passed down.
