To hear "hi this is Pete welcome to Just a Few Acres Farm" means it's going to be a great Sunday morning. Thanks Pete you are the best.

[@ketobygeorge7763]

Thank you for showing us how the bailer functions inside. I was curious about it. It is a lot of work yet you make it all look so calming and relaxing. Your drone footage is fantastic and I finally saw how you were multitasking the drone with your tractor work. You have so many practical talents and real-life farm experiences on your "just a few acres farm". Thank you for sharing your life with us. Shalom(Peace)

[@rontiemens2553]

Beautiful farm, beautiful tractors, beautiful crop, beautiful animals, beautiful and gracious people. Some of the very best content on KZbin. Thank you.

[@jlsbeek]

Another great video Pete. Thank you so much for taking time to make these videos and sharing them with all of us! 😎

[@daningrim475]

Great camera angles Pete! Sorry about the drone casualty, but it sure was fun to watch and the extra effort you put into it with the text and your voice-over really shows how you're getting things done. Thank-you!!

Good morning Pete and Mrs Pete

[@blainelipford8066]

Good morning Pete! My 3 year old and I Iook forward to your videos every day. Keep up the Good work. Great wholesome videos. Thank You Pete

[@burlmikesell6168]

Hope to see you next week at the farmers market. We’re flying in from California for the wife’s high school reunion.

[@jeffmiller178]

Thanks for the video! This is my first attempt at baling so I’m on edge. Your videos help tons. I’m in Niagara county and have Dexters. Hope to add another heifer to the family. See you at the market sometime!

[@jpeel2066]

Great to see the hay crop all baled. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@Mandren]

I loved the inside look of the bailer! My dad makes round bales as well for his cattle, though he runs John Deere. I had never really seen the mechanics of how those type of bailers do their job.

[@gabbyhaze5857]

Bailers keep boats from sinking. Balers make hay bales.

[@raptor350rick]

I could do that all day. How self satisfied you must be. Great work Pete and Hillary

[@twistedlimb4053]

Pete said steampunk 😂

[@karenparr4312]

I know you find cutting hay relaxing and for some reason so do we when watching videos you post. Perfect time for thinking

[@michaelkoster8412]

Pete, it sure was wonderful to join you on the hay field this morning. Thanks for showing up.

[@kasch7574]

It's a girl, no! - it's a boy, no! - it's a hay bale!!! Congrats to 25 new additions to your hay barn!

[@vmdairy]

How comforting to be able to bale hay on an ideal hay day from in front of my computer screen. I do miss it. Thanks Pete.

[@champbk2bk575]

I absolutley love all your "old" tractors. They sure get things done.

[@reedchandler2372]

I loved the video. Making hay is a very rewarding activity. Growing up in Idaho in a very dry climate I remember going out at 4 in the. Morning to bale while there was some dew on the hay to keep it from shattering, and we would have to quit by 10. It was always satisfying to compete each stage. Cutting, baling and then hauling and stacking. I remember my biggest day. I hauled 30 stacks of hay with our New Holland stack wagon, and our JD 3020. Each stack had 70 bales in it.

[@markham6000]

Thanks Pete for taking us along on your hay baling efforts. There's satisfaction in fixing equipment breakdowns too! Well done.

[@RatdogDRB]

Pretty quiet with no monsters... pork chops!! Well, if there's a good side to the extra dry hay not baling as nicely, the mulch left behind will help the pasture grow. RIP drone, you gave us wonderful perspective of the work happening and the lay of the land, as well as the fun of buzzing Patty and company.

[@GOdeg-kn2mc]

Thank you for showing how it works, I was wondering. Love your farm and how you show us the everyday nuts and bolts. I also enjoy all your tractors, so cool.

[@richardswartzbaugh929]

Pete, thanks for sharing and bringing back memories of making the small square bales as a very young man.

[@billroberts3864]

Hi Pete, thanks for a another great hay baling video. So sorry about the hydraulic leak and the loss of your drone. Blessings to you and your family.

[@donnahummel5765]

God Bless 🙏 all farmer's big or small farms. Thank You.

[@aaronnelsonmusic5971]

I can hear the stress in your voice, Pete. We generally don't hay until beginning of July. But seeing videos like this already has my nerves going. It's my favorite time of year and also my most nervous time of year. Take care and thanks for the great videos.

[@B4UClose]

Always wondered if there were any whoopsies with driving the tractor and flying the drone at the same time. Now I know.

[@TF856]

I wish I could find a job like that again. Back in the eighties I got to run a vintage tractor pulling an old square baler and had a blast! 😃😁❤️

[@marymcguire1435]

I love trying to follow the workings of the machinery. You explain parts so well. A lifetime of experience and knowledge to pass down to your kids. Lucky kids...

[@TerryJanka]

I love watching your videos, and love the dynamic that you and Hillary have! God Bless you both and your family!

[@mariesheppard3750]

Frist time I seen a baller like this working, Saw Bales for year s in the field but not how it was done, Thanks for taking me along,

[@bserb3336]

Love your vids, don't change anything, keep them coming, Thanks Kempton PA.

[@dellhell8842]

11:35 Love the video of bale gestation.

[@Marionpm1]

Love all your videos, nice to see the kids out there with mom Hillary. Sorry Droney RIP!

[@freebooterz-Warmane]

such a dangerous job being a flying cameraman, RIP mr droney mcdroneface. we will always appreciate your scenic views of the cattle and sweeping landscape shots.

[@dedrakuhn6103]

What a nice job Pete thank you for all the different camera angles it was SO Much FUN to watch this Round Baling action. Really enjoyed it. Keep up sharing the wonderful action

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

That's one fancy baler...but then again my memory of baling goes back to Berkshire when I think my father was the last farmer to not have a tractor but horses. The horses scared me up close but I loved watching them from a distance while they pulled the baler,

[@keithwuchter624]

Great video Pete. Totally enjoyed the hay coming in. It's great when the whole family works together.

[@barbaralewis3832]

Hi Pete! I'm not a farmer but love seeing yours and seeing all you and Hilary do. Let's not forget your jokes!!😅😅 I have shared several of them! Keep up the good work. I'll keep rooting for you!

[@Elger77]

Pete, thank you for the vicarious return to my childhood. Of course we did square bails. The hay was always too wet or dry. If too wet, one could wait a day unless rain was in the forecast. If too dry, well rain would cause mildew. Farming is always a gamble with most of the variables beyond control. Never thought I would miss those days of driving a tractor for hours in the sun and dust. These days most have air conditioned cabs.

[@nyotauhura7412]

The bale ejecting is the most fun part of seeing the baler run.

[@darleneingram8065]

enjoy your videos . God Bless

[@Timberland-Farms]

Such a relaxing video to watch on a Sunday, even with breakdowns and casualties you handle it well and keep a calm and collected composure. I hope you plan to make a video similar of loading the hay in the barn “tomorrow”

[@joeyeaton9315]

Love you videos

[@johncourtneidge]

Thanks, Pete. A neighbour has lent me a book, 'Ask The Fellows That Make Tge Hay.' Another good read is 'Farmers Glory.' Very best wishes to and for all.

[@chuckhorner3758]

From all appearances your baler worked exceptionally well. You are blessed!

[@user-os8uj9cz2z]

Hi Pete, I’m so sorry Droney McDroneface took one for the team. Maybe you will replace it. Love the drone footage. Have a great day.

[@transactcredit]

Thanks, Pete, for the insight into round bale mechanics and technique; and the many factors that go into it.

[@brentkelsay3439]

Pete you got dirty the way we used to on the farm! My uncle had an Allis Chalmers small round baler then a New Holland big round baler which eliminated a lotta manual labor. Enjoy your videos!

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

Always enjoy your videos Pete. Breakdowns are part of farming. Casualties happen as well, but you made progress. See you in the next one.

[@westtexas5754]

I ordered your book from Amazon. Looking forward to reading it. Watching cutting and bailing with the older (but good condition) equipment is enjoyable. Take care.

[@Noah-qi3ct]

Love seeing the hay being baled! I'm excited to see the new bale wagon in action next😊

[@SuburbanDon]

That inside the bailer video was great.

[@alleycatvietnam]

Thanks, Pete, Grrrrrr...The drone footage gave an added perspective to the farm.... Cheers from San Francisco a former Jersey kid hear.

[@LyfovRyan51]

I always look forward to every post, as i learn so much. The drone is a good addition with filming too. Watching in New Zealand.

[@thefarmingbanker]

Hay equipment. Not if it breaks, when it breaks. Few things in life are a given, but break downs during hay season are a guarantee.

[@jeffrosen8237]

Ahh, but the Dad jokes keep droning on and on! Thankfully the Dad jokes are indestructible. Thanks for taking us along. Too bad about the drone. I love those high shots and I am amazed on what those will do.

[@stanleygallman7800]

So often the video's are really enjoyable and entertaining thanks for sharing. You all appear to have been able to create such a full and filling life which everyone else should understand didn't just happen overnight. Thanks for sharing.

[@wetgod]

Thanks Pete! That was super interesting. As a non-farmer, I've always wondered whatt the inner workings of a round baler looked like. Now I can tell my kids what happens when I mommy bale and a daddy bale love each other SO much...! ;-)

[@kezzatries]

Here we go again..... And loving it!

[@dickmagruder9907]

Rest in pieces Mr Drone. Great video.

[@daretoreef]

I just wanted to say, I love all the angles you get, they are very informative! Thank you for all you do!

[@Winterascent]

I like the Boaty McBoatface reference at the end.

[@chrisbrackett9779]

Good morning Pete and Family

[@user-sm9vl4kq8h]

Thanks for the entertaining video. Always enjoy getting up Sunday morning and watching a new Jafaf video. Sorry for your loss. Hope to see you here in Grand Island in a couple weeks.

[@T_Humphries]

The 756 is my favorite tractor on KZbin!!

[@Kevin-ty3yc]

We own 1 cow and 6 sheep, and buy round bales like these from a local farm. It's interesting to see how these are made. Thank you for sharing!

[@wazzazone]

I really enjoy your farm life Pete and Hillary. THANKS from Australia.

[@vossierebel]

You make it all look so easy... even trashing the drone seems painless!!

[@DPW55]

We do THANKYOU with a thumbs up , and a big KISS ,from the wife that is 😁

[@mickeyscott7479]

Praying for you to have a great 2nd and 3rd cut to meet your goal.

[@zach8910]

I love seeing old tractors that you use

[@cherylstark99]

Some days are like that. We always enjoy your videos.

[@add3970]

Wow never knew how those bails were made. Thank you Pete for the lesson and all that you do!

[@heimcomputer9772]

Hi Pete... I watched 3 different farming videos today and each time some of the equipment broke. So you are in good company ;-) Good luck with fixing your tractor.

[@fredbos5997]

Good to see all the hay baled at least, though it's too dry like you said. Good luck with your tractor. See ya!

[@charlesmurschell3110]

Pete, I like the way you maintain and care for your equipment. You are an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure kind of guy.

[@aafarm1652]

Great day baling hay and you are correct something always breaks on baling day! Happens to me all the time!

[@jacklittle7438]

Pete. You give us such a blessed perspective on farm life. We have a small farm in east Texas and you have helped me through several farm projects and problems. I’m retired but all is relevant. Inspiring is my takeaway from you. God bless.

[@pikkukylaracing2507]

Here in Finland we started making silage bales yesterday 15.6. Your videos are awesome.

[@timc.4709]

Pete, Can you make a video of what Ezra does all day by attaching a camera to him? He's one of the best characters on your farm.

[@jamesleesley]

It’d be interesting seeing him go after mice.

[@donnanorris4733]

Loving your last two hay baling videos. Seeing the close ups of machinery and the birds eye view. Photography is superb! I live in Indiana, and we have high temperatures and low humidity right now, I assume the hay is dry right now too.

[@zoeshorthouse7913]

Sorry about the loss of your drone. I enjoy watching your haying videos. I'll miss the drone shots of your farm.

[@c.j.francisco2225]

Another great video; I learn something new with every video. The fact that you have repaired and or rebuilt your tractors yourself let’s you know just by sound, sight, or feel what might be wrong with a tractor and the fix needs to be. Marvelous and talented. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dmeads5663]

Pete I am really looking forward to seeing your farm grow even more!

[@bassbustingman]

RIP Drone McDroneFace, you were a good drone always came home. you will be missed

[@tammyeich4493]

❤ Hello from Michigan ❤. Great video

[@robertkelley1990]

Thanks Pete for sharing the hay bailing day on the farm it’s always good to know when u have your hay in the barn for the winter .

[@nolehopkins1077]

Love the videos Pete. I am definitely getting the urge to go back to NY and start my own small farm. I miss hay season.

[@tomtbi]

Always good to have a backup trector.. you never know when and if you'll have a breakdown...

[@jimflynn466]

Excellent work and great drone photography, I look forward to seeing your next video.

[@Tom-nw4vb]

Just a beautiful farm , thank you for bringing us along . I just enjoy watching you and family keeping up the place that has been in your family for generations . You have a legacy that that one can be so proud of ! Happy peaceful life thank you for sharing again just can't say it enough make my day

[@msw00]

Hay making is so fulfilling, food in the barn, clean field ready to grow again (given rain...) and a neat looking farm showing its ability to produce, got to love it. Have a great day.

[@claramurzynski6739]

The hubby here is a drone enthusiast. Sad to see your drone bite the dust and believe me, he feels your pain. He's got three of them, his largest is a Skydio. Two are in the process of being fixed. We both marvel at the great footage you have provided with your recently passed on drone. Sure hope you are able to get another.

[@BASRANCH]

Great video Pete thanks for the time and effort. Have a great day.

[@sgrvtl7183]

All your 'good ole' tractors sure come in handy! ❣ Very informative video and drone shots are excellent 👌💚🤎💛

[@jalpa9642]

Pete, sorry about the hydraulic leak and the wrecked Drone.....! All in All you got the Hay baled w/2 hiccups.... I suppose it could have been much worse but we won't go there because nothing else happened. Some things we have to expect to happen but we never know what it's gonna be.....? Things don't always give us a sign they're going to go bad, it's wear and tear on the equipment and it's connections, whether mechanical, electrical, hydraulic or..? Larger Farms have to call in the troops(service people) to get repairs done and it's not cheap...! Thankfully you are well versed enough in the many years of operation that you can deal w/all down times and fix things yourself...! Great day of baling the hay it's done except for the storage..! =)

[@bonniedunkin-brady9358]

I love watching your videos. I can smell the fresh bales..oh how i miss that smell

[@patrichardson7481]

Spent many a Sunday after noon bailing hay as a teenager . Only with a newholand super 68 bailer and either an M or 300 with a loader running the bailer. Those square wire bails were a pain most weighed 70lbs. Great video ! keep up the great video making ! Love this and sorry about the drone !

[@goldshieldenterprises692]

I love all your videos but Haying videos are my favorite!!
