Cutting More Thick Hay!

[@michaellucht6351]

As tractors become more computerized and unable to be fixed without a code reader that old Farmall becomes more valuable and money well spent with every repair.

[@jozua715]

it goes both ways part/engines will be harder to find and cost more money plus the world is moving to ev or hybrid models due to government regulation

[@JamesCouch777]

Putting up hay at 69 is not as much fun as it was when I was younger but I'm thankful that I'm still able to do it. Enjoy it while you can and never give up 😁

[@TheMrrappel]

Something about Pete doing hay makes me happy, he's always upbeat and seems to enjoy it, everyone I do hay with is always miserable, but that's probably because they break something every time

[@maxjones9139]

I’ve noticed the same thing. I think it’s because they eat processed garbage. The farmers around who have nothing to do with Monsanto are much happier and more youthful.

[@karenschlenker1241]

Riding on a tractor and cutting hay. Together a winning combination. 👍💚💜

[@arasb3258]

This is what KZbin was made for! Thank you!

[@faniefaze]

Pete hears something in the barn, he opens the door, there's a large beetle standing in front of him. The beetle pushes Pete so hard he falls and hits his head on the Farmall , requiring a trip to the hospital. When Pete explains what happened to the Doctor, she says, "Ah, I'm not surprised, you're the fifth case we've had today" "Really?" Pete says. "Yes," the Doctor says, "There's a really nasty bug going around..."

[@jamjar5716]

FanieFaze, great joke. Incorporating Pete and his farm was a bonus!

Nice drown footage! Wonderful to see those 50 year old tractors. I miss those days.

So many awesome memories this brings up of when I cut 100 acres of hay with an old 900 case and a newholland haybine. Love your videos Pete! Keep em coming please🙂

[@robertaus8420]

The smell of green fresh grass and an old diesel tractor mixed in, that is just a smell that is to be loved 👍😁

It's always a pleasure to watch Pete work, no matter what kind of job to be done. Thumbs Up Pete

Wow can you drive! Precision skills. Wow can you film! Wow can you edit! Your videos are a blast to watch! You school us.

[@erictilley4095]

You look so happy and smiling when you do this I enjoy watching the video just like everyone else and glad to see you're happy oh I forgot happy birthday Pete

[@raincoast9010]

Safety Sam... I used to clean out the infeed rolls when they got plugged on the Claas forage harverster with the machine running till i heard about a guy who lost both his arms doing just what i was doing. The rollers engaged without command and pulled him in... After that i would cool the machine down and stop the engine, it takes a bit of time but i bet that guy without his arms has all the time in the world now. All the best luck with the weather and the hay Pete and be safe.

[@faniefaze]

I agree. we don't want to watch video's of someone who is disarmed.

I seen on you-tube a farmer saying it is impossible for a farm to make it on less than 600 + acres, but Pete proves it’s possible.

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Pete, I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

What lovely green, thick hay, I wish I could smell it,my favourite smell from the childhood. I hope weather is nice hot and dry next days:))

[@jeffreynolds6804]

I love to see the vintage equipment working!!! Reminds me of my chdhood growing up on the farm. Down here in Tennessee when we mow hay we usually see rabbits, rats, snakes, deer, possums, raccoons, and armadillos flushed from the uncut hay.

[@DPW55]

Pete I could watch you and that mesmeric tractor for HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS , ITS CONTAGIOUS,🤪it’s about time NOW that you import a slice of beet and pork to you much followed UK , ADMIRED PATRON ,,,, ME , AND AND WAITING OF EXPECTATION, XXXXX

[@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962]

So glad the farm next to us gives us all the round bales we need. Our grass was tall we had to bush hog.

[@Mike-rf3kl]

You lift my spirits I'm a small farmer and to see such a professional like Pete makes me feel confident and great about what I do with farming thx pete

This is very soothing miss the smell of the hay being cut in summer

[@kimlaboyne2474]

I'm enjoying watching a farmer cut grass!! It's the simple things!! Blessings!!

The sound of your machines is very soothing. Good video.

[@klazyy641]

Yep, you can tell a farmer born and bred by the way he drives his rig on the highway, lol. Thought you were going to take out the chicken tractors there for a second, but you sure can handle that hay cutting machine! Thanks for the video today.

[@coyroberts8356]

I remember you cutting hay last year. Kind of cool thanks for the videos. 🐔🐔🐄🐄🦆🦆🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@peelmeone]

Hay mowing is so satisfying to watch.

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

Im 70 still do the small square bales. M farmall with a 273 New holland bailer . Ive learned something. I now only cut and bale once a season. In the fall when cool weather sets in. There are several advantages. all the seed heads are ripe and most is shaken off the hay during cutting raking bailing ect. Then when the growth is left standing during the summer drought the sun doesnt bake the ground like a mowed field. Its much cooler to perform the physical work. the hay has less moisture content in the fall and will cure faster no tedding necessary. And when I start feeding Im not feeding hay that is already 6 months old. And the yield is just as much as I would get from two cuttings. Last year I began cutting hay on October 1st.

[@wesleybourque8284]

Hey Pete! You drive that tractor like a pro!!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Good looking hay Mr. Pete!

[@erikpeterson25]

Interesting rig.......one of the best summers I ever had was spent cutting hay in a New Holland Swather on a ranch in Wyoming....antelope and deer in the fields....smell of fresh cut hay...mountain views........nice to see this..thx 🙂

[@kennethgebhardt5318]

It is nice to witness how you telegraph the joy and excitement you receive from making hay.

[@frankrizzo3915]

Love the drone shots.

[@mattjones3795]

Great to see old IH in the field making hay 😎

[@joef3291]

Pete, you are co. I have beef pasture and grain. I have been slowly reducing my grain and adding more hay from last year. I live in Bucks County Pennsylvania, we only get 1 cutting. I am weaning my beef from grain. They have plenty of pasture, but could be better. I built a hay rack for outside from youtube. Works great. My beef are now coming to the hay feeder 3 times a day to eat hay. Plus what they get from the pasture. Happy, healthy animals. It is saving me a ton of money from grain. I have lots of money invested in corn, and the weather is crazy here. Thanks for your opinions. It is working nice. Me 58yr. old 3rd generation owner its all fun. I have more farmalls than I need, but its fun. Looking forward to your next post. Joe

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Pete :) had deers shock me lots time in fields on farm days when rake hay or straw rows before got bales square bales used a 1968 624 60 hp Desiel motor use low range in 4 gear unless crop was wet high range in 2 gear plus 1966 New Holland #56 rake had 2 wheels too and had deer sit under straw row one day luck desiel tractor had great big Vroom sound say working had wait for a complete stop so deer get from under straw row jump out way ! But same deer every year after that so saw and complete stop push throttle of engine to rev up and back down low idle on foot pedal to say please move because horn switch was broken some reason ! Also going tell why my late Dad Don bought 1963 McCormick- International B414 Loader tractor Desiel motor tractor & 1968 International 624 60 hp Deseil tractor was Roads Department near home farm did used both these tractors for cutting grass on ditches on roads with 1966 #10 McCormick International Sickle Mower had wheels plus another one near front back tire from foot pan plus pedals to and my great 2 Uncles Jack plus Leo of mine work with roads department also use for years and when updated tractor they bought these 2 tractors for there farm to use plus Sickle Mower too ! Only thing tractor were not red also white in color they were yellow and black colors but same decals also trim too like from factory too!

[@andrewp.brorsen8372]

Pete .Congratulations on finishing the MD project. It is beautiful!! Would love to have a tractor like that. It's easy to see how proud you are! I learned so much from your videos. You are the best teacher on You Tube. I was going to be a HS AG teacher, but never found a job. I over educated myself. Dont let the critifics bother you. Your work is impecable

[@andrewpaige6571]

What a beautiful view of your pastures as you cut the grass for hay. You do a wonderful job showing us your beautiful farm.

[@falcondrvr200]

I also let my machine idle a bit before putting it away for the day. While it’s doing that, I grab my leaf blower and blow all the dust and grass/debris off it. Might find that easier(and a bit safer). Great videos.

[@charlessmith3995]

Doesn't get any better than that i like the view you have in your office thanks

[@danielmcguire7129]

I love those drone shots, they give us a very clear picture of what you're doing and what your farm looks like. It looks like all that natural cow poop you spread around is doing a great job of growing next years cow poop. I love seeing that old tractor of yours jugging along, no comfy indoor cabin for you.

[@joef3291]

Pete, love your posts. Your equipment is similar to mine. Your the best. I wish I was as nice and polite as you ! Lol I can't wait for more videos. !! I am behind on my hay. Our daughter has heart issues at 33. God will help me get it done. Buddy, your the best. You make my day.

Pete, you make a boring routine interesting and funny. Brings back when I mowed hay on our dairy farm with a 1963 IH 706 and the 7 ft New Idea flail mower conditioner. Man could it mow fast! 🥴

Hard to imagine multiple cuttings, we get one cutting at 7500’ in Wyoming

Pete, your neck must really hurt at the end of the day. I cut our grass with a 35 horse and must back down a slope to cut the grass. At 69, my neck hurts and stiff.

[@frankcadillac9151]

You just reminded me Pete I've got to get my three point JD sickle mower sharpened and mounted on the JD 420. I mow under high tension lines its challenging, ruts, rocks and guy wires.

[@totalamateurhomecooks6833]

It's nice to see somebody living life

[@pleasantacreshomestead1037]

I am about to cut my hay for the first time ever and I can’t wait. I grew up on a large hay farm. The hay field is one of my favorite places to be. I have a 8N Ford so it should be interesting since I don’t have live power. I grew up an farmall/international man. I will have a red tractor soon. We use two Hydro 70s to cut hay. A 460 narrow front to rake. And either the hydros to bale or our 656 diesel non hydro though. I love watching your channel. I have a channel as well and we are just starting out. You are a big inspiration to my channel. Keep up the good content Sir.

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Thank you! Good luck with your hay!! 8N's are good old tractors.

[@kennethbailey2616]

Great video. We had an old belt drive swather years ago. I spent more fixing that thing than cutting. Finally got a hydrostatic machine. Our hay is crested wheatgrass and some clover. Since we’re dryland we only cut a hay field every other year so it can re-seed. I have made oat hay a few times and volunteer wheat hay from a summer fallow field. I like seeing such lush grass without irrigation. :)

[@donbennington677]

One of my favourite jobs was cutting hay/silage. I preferred to drive the other way round the first time. It was easier to drive a wheel near the fence than the end of the mower. I would leave the outside until I had finished end rows, then cut the outside. Leaving it until then gave it a chance to recover a little from being run over. You need to have a mower that is as wide as the tractor track width. Keep making the videos

[@talfacprez]

I think you need to install some type of cup or bottle holder so you can get needed fluids while you are out working the fields on your tractors.

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

That was a very entertaining and enjoyable video Mr. Pete!

[@mattthomas4274]

Shut that tractor off Pete. I have a friend that lost his right arm and right leg in a corn snapper! The NC Duke trauma center made a training video about his rescue. His name is Kyle Cashwell @ Duke Kyle's story. Love your channel it brings back memories of my early farm life. Keep up the videos. But please be safe.😃

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

These comments are sad but the pto is off i never cut my tractor off hot as we need it to run around 1000 hrs a year we never touch a mower with the pto nor do we get off without the parking brake but the other is just not going to happen safety is important no doubt but you dont have to be safety worker from the government 🤣

[@chevyon37s]

Pro tip- use a leaf blower to clean out the machine when you’re done for the day. We blow out all of our hay stuff after the day is done works really well on the hay baler and rotary cutter. Works great and it’s much easier to clean off than if it happens to get rained on.

[@jdgimpa]

Brings back memories. Except we mowed hay with a 1940 John Deere H with a converted horse drawn John Deere mower that cut a 4 foot swath. Good thing we only had 14 acres to mow. Then we raked it with the same tractor pulling a converted horse drawn rake. My Grandpa had i rope rigged to the trip on the rake so it was a one Man or in my case Boy job. I learned to drive and start that old H with flywheel start when I was 8 years old. By the time I was 10 I was a pro.

[@jamjar5716]

[@BillTheTractorMan]

You are very fortunate Pete, here in the central united states we are in a worsening drought. our first cutting hay was 1/3rd to 1/2 of what it should have been. Corn and Soybeans are not doing well. Currently with temps in the high 90's strong winds, and dew points very low the ground is drying at a faster rate than the farmers with irrigation systems can put water down.

[@vedha6273]

Good drone shorts today 👌👌👌

[@stevewilson1388]

Good looking crop, ours is pretty thin this year. We didn't get a lot of rain in April and also had several cold nights after the grass was growing pretty good. It seemed to stop for while after the cold. Those 90 degree turns remind me of my brother baling, I told him I didn't see how he kept universal joints in any of his equipment!!
