Getting the Round Bales off the Hay Field and We Got Round Bale Feeders for the Cows and Sheep

[@frrapp2366]

the work of a farmer is Never done even after you retire:)

[@AJ_ghdhejsien]

That little TYM is quite the tractor. I hadn't considered them before, but I'll have to stop by my local supplier that has them.

[@Miker1776]

I agree

[@teenagefarmer]

Yessir, there is always something to do. Looking good keep it up

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Looks great Evan have a good day.

“When you work a full time job, you come home and you get to do more work” haha Boy can I relate to that!

[@mattharper7237]

Sounds like a perfect vacation, doing what you enjoy is not working.

[@workhardlivefree3818]

@ 12:28... That'd be a great pic for a new t-shirt... sun going down, tractor just unloading and the steer watching you

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Thank you for sharing! Really enjoy!

[@miguelavelasquez8056]

Work is never over for a farmer even when you sleep you are thinking of what you forgot to do but hard work pays off Even thanks for sharing

[@roberthuckeby2825]

Glad you were able to pick up the round bales and get the under cover. Now, go have dinner and put your feet up!!

[@jonathanbuck6526]

It's the life you have chosen for yourself Evan, and you are very lucky to have it.

[@cjandjoannegodkin3787]

I totally understand what you mean about working all day, then working the evening too. It’s a life not many would choose to do, but you guys do it well. My wife and I love that life also, and do the best we can. God bless you all my friend.

[@karencary3312]

Hey Karen how are you doing and how is the weather conditions over there

[@namgreb9063]

I love watching you do hay work. Keep up the great work!

Great Stuff! You may want to do some maintenance on your hay wagon!

[@jpeel2066]

Looks like some great hay that you got made. Alot of hard work but worth it in the end. Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@shirleybewley6646]

Sorry for the trouble with the baler but having baling wire on hand is VERY useful!

[@harveystephens6115]

Maybe you can fix tiers r a knowledgeable viewer will tell you how!

[@kafurii_fx]

Nice Shirley how are you and how is the weather conditions over there

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Another great video. thank you.

[@kathyline11]

Great job!

[@mikeweaver5399]

Evan, I noticed you have a lot of loose hay and hay left over from cleaning the animal pens. I think if you got a good size chipper shredder you could run all that through it and increase your compost production by a bunch. Just a thought I realize you have a full plate all the time but in the long run it should be very beneficial 😉👍🇱🇷😊

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Hello Rebekah and Evan

[@dalewallace3812]

That is one job I miss cutting and raking hay at my grandparents I would cut it with a sickle mower and rake with a PTO driven rake I would rake the hay then some else would round bale it then we would load them up on a couple different trailers and haul them to the house but they didn’t have animals they sold the hay

[@sandratalbert9578]

Nice to see you use the smaller version of the TYM tractor. Wonder what the max lifting capacity is. Sure handled those round bales easily. Glad to see you got all the hay undercover before rain shower. Interesting to see smaller tractor easily got the one feeder into the back of the barn. 👍👍👍

[@mikerequa820]

The 2515 is rated to lift 2200 pounds with loader

[@chrisoconnor5880]

Only one rung lower than Lucerne, (Alfalfa) is red clover, I always grew it for hay paddocks, Red clover was in every pasture mix I planted

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

When I was a teenager so many years ago, we had a neighbor who put hay in his barn that was too damp. In the middle of the night his barn caught fire and burned to the ground along with a wagon and two tractors.

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@rockyguzek9262]

first feeder you put out is really nice i've always used the round ones,sheep probably won't eat much hay as long as theres green grass

[@roberto.peterson9917]

We use spread rock salt on every layer on bales we stack especially when in a barn salt draws moisture should be questioned but also makes cattel drink more when it's cold insure that they drink so not get bound up from eating only dry hay

[@garyjohn316]

Oh those forks on the top! I thought you were gonna fix that Lol.

[@steveprice4779]

Ya gotta watch those round bales ....sometimes they try and escape. My son in laws neighbors switched for square bales to the full sized round bales. It's pretty hilly here in Eastern Washington. One evening when they were baling on the side of a hill the wind picked up and sent one 2 tenths of a mile down hill through a neighbors vinyl fence and through a big picture window in a neighbors house.....Opps....hate it when that happens 😳

[@niklaseriksson3343]

Now that you guys have two tractors with frontloaders, a 2nd bale spear would be pretty handy. Have one tractor in the field to load bales with and the other at the shed to unload them. Would save you quite some time not to have to walk back and get the tractor to unload.

[@dwightl5863]

Seems to me pulling the wagon out with the loader tractor in the first place would be the way to do it.

[@brianjohnson1346]

red clover is rich stuff be careful... its slow to dry for me too but they love it

[@sandypratt8951]

❤️👍👍👍

[@2wwwilly]

You got a dryer in the haybarn ..😊😊

[@rypkepaulusma]

Hi Evan. You had some trouble with the baler. I just watched a cool video on 'Just a Few Acres Farm' channel explaining everything and anything about this kind of old balers. Might be usefull.

[@noelcahill6707]

To cut down grass waste where there eating top the grass cows will just stand on high grass but if u use a topper or as ye say bush hog ul clean up where they graze

[@DanKlein_1]

I know how you feel about vacation. I had all of last week off including memorial day and made hay Saturday through Friday. Ours in western part of PA was lousy. great weather but the quantity was poor. ended up baling a couple fields we normally don't, just to end up with the same amount of hay.

[@kafurii_fx]

Nice comment Dan how are you doing today I hope you are doing well

[@tomriblett2979]

I do the same here. Just no longer have a full time job off the place.

[@jamesbowen2030]

We call them wase not feeder in Australia the bale testing around 12/14 % and test them twice a month so they don't get hot

[@helodriver20]

Pro Tip: When strapping something down, ALWAYS say, “that’s not going anywhere!” 😂

[@FloydBlack-xi8fh]

We used salt to draw out moisture. Something to think on.

[@dwightl5863]

Evan know that.

[@johnmccormick-fl1pg]

Do you plan to sharpen or get new blades for the hay cutter. ink you will appreciate the clean cut

[@steverichardson2224]

Enjoyable! Thank you for allowing us to watch you work like a dog on your "second job"! Just one question, did you get Rebekah's permission to use her tractor? Kidding of course. Murfreesboro Tn

[@sandratalbert9578]

LOL

[@paralyzedlife8763]

Amazing video. Great to see the full even8ng of work. Quick question i have is have you thought abt getting a v rake. Man it makes raking hay so much faster

[@joejackson9560]

Put a wire panel in the bottom of the raised feeder and the sheep won't waste as much hay

[@ithacacomments4811]

Is there smoke from the Canadian wildfires in your area? Here in the Southerntier of New York State....air quality index is 200 ! The smell of smoke is heavy in the air. Smogville. Crazy.

Question: why don't u widen that roadway out. Just 1 row of trees would do it

[@dickdavidson3616]

Good idea for another little project. A bit of earthwork to reduce the slope as well.

[@s.h.4609]

Do you have a link for the moisture meter?

[@Whiskey61]

Its kinda crazy how much that 25 hp tractor can lift.

[@AutoCrete]

Between the little tractor and the old waggon I'm not sure which piece was working harder. I used to live a couple of miles from Spruce Meadows equestrian centre and saw many diesel dually 1 tons that never had a load in the box, this is not the same thing at all. Way to work em hard Evan!

[@AutoCrete]

@Bowhunters Actually unless you live in a climate that does not freeze, water is a poor choice for tire ballast. 'Way back when' chlorine was used but had a tendency to ruin rims if it leaked. Sugar beet derivatives are now common being 30% heavier than water with a -40 freezing point. Also not nearly as corrosive and/or toxic to soil if it leaks. I still feel sorry for that poor little tractor though.

[@nalley6815]

@Bowhunters those bales aren’t anywhere close to 1k

[@MrJuzt1n]

I’ve played enough farming simulator to know you should rachet strap your bales down to the trailer 😂

[@tractorsold1]

Never bothered with that, unless we put them on a truck to go down the road.

[@CdVWoodProducts.]

I've heard red clover isn't good for pregnant sheep. but ok for open ewes....

You seem to have a large percentage off female viewers. Perhaps one or two of them may have a son you could hire to help? You need someone in the wings to be there when you will inevitably get the flu, appendicitis, broken leg - or whatever lurks in the future.

WHY DO YOU MAKE SQUARE AND ROUND BALES

WHY DO YOU TYPE IN CAPS?

[@Iamkcs2c]

Square bales fit in the racks for his goats, plus he said he sells some. Round bales - that baler works better and less manual labor in handling.
