Cutting, Tedding, Raking, Baling and Picking Up Horse Hay

[@ictpilot]

You're not fooling anyone young lady, your the Boss! Brains and beauty of this operation! 😀

[@cavsh00ter]

Reminds me of my folks, working together and teaching us kids cattle, in s.tex I never saw them argue about things that didn't matter, I saw a lot of mutual respect and love all the way to the end.

[@NorthTexasHay]

The way it should be

[@4gauge10]

You are his EQUAL,he can't run that farm by himself and neither can you,GOD put you two together to build a good life and a stronger farm. 🚜

[@augustreil]

You are by no means, the lesser half ! You're a serious asset to the operation of everything. Cool video.

[@NorthTexasHay]

Thanks

[@belindakt]

You guys have a really smooth operation, don't you just love it when a plan comes together? Thanks for the explanations, makes it much easier to understand.

[@NorthTexasHay]

belinda turner thank you, keeping the equipment in good repair is what makes it doable.

[@okieguy51]

I grew up on a farm in Ohio. Nice to see people still working the land. God bless y all.

[@NorthTexasHay]

[@svsinc5761]

Love your videos helping my wife and I get ready for our move to that neck of the woods and start haying on our own property soon we will have a ton of questions on this and that but would love your help once we get there

[@stevewright1945]

Nice channel you 2, I love being around farms doing tractoring things. I use to haul farm equipment to local farmers here in VA & NC from a John Deere dealer. In winter we outfit our 6 and 7 series tractors with snow blades and clear roads for the state.

[@NorthTexasHay]

Steve Wright thanks for watching

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Soybean Farmer thank you

[@DennysCountryLife]

That's a very efficient system you guys have! Great video

[@NorthTexasHay]

+Denny's Country Life it has worked well for us

[@DLKHAY]

there is no lesser, its all important. great video.

[@banjolunkers]

Agreed!

[@frankirwin2377]

Like the Hay. When we couldn't get bailer, we pitchforked it onto a wagon and loose stacked it at the ranch. We used a team of mules on the wagon. Sadie and Genie did great team work.

[@NorthTexasHay]

Frank Irwin I feel like I'm pitching hay with a fork some times. I admire your commitment to getting it in the barn

[@frankirwin2377]

Yep, when you can't get the equipment in time, you still need to get the hay picked up and stacked where you can use it before the rain or snow flies.

Thanks for a understandable explanation of what was occurring, esp. of "tedding," which some of believed was called "swathing"!

[@NorthTexasHay]

Thanks

[@roco4608]

What a nice operation, I love making hay. However, those clouds lurking around thinking about joining up to make a thunderstorm would just drive me nuts.

[@NorthTexasHay]

+Ro Co you and me both!

[@smcox1991]

That's a heck of an operation in one pass.

[@WirWiz]

Where are y'all Located at ? I use to Bale 3x4 , 4x4 Corn Stalks . Alfalfa all over the Texas Panhandle !!! Mainly from Dumas to Hartley to Dalhart to Stratford to Cactus back ta Dumas. We had 4 Massey 4x4 Square Balers , 3 Massey 3x4 Square Balers , and 2 New Holland Round Balers , and 1 Stinger Stacker

[@haroldbrown1389]

Oh it must be nice to have so much leisure time!

[@NorthTexasHay]

Harold Brown it's peachy

[@dmsentra]

Man I like making hay. Gave up haying with all my old junkie equipment, sure miss it.

[@NorthTexasHay]

+dmsentra it's tough to find the balance of when to get new or not. The prices are skyrocketing.

[@AA-du1jq]

Wow! women like you are one in a million. 👌

[@ilikecheap367]

Those happy days....

[@chasesblog]

We never baled square bales we used to do round bales for our cattle and horses and one of my jobs was to move the hay to the edge of the field to haul it off

[@NorthTexasHay]

It's not much different

[@miketapp7262]

Enjoyed that video.

[@NorthTexasHay]

Thank you

[@DJ-bh1ju]

You're baling the same day you cut? It's drying that fast? I'm in Upstate NY, I've never baled same-day, it's usually next day or even 3rd day. Must be you have much stronger sun and lower humidity? Or, you're OK with a higher moisture content in the hay....

[@billm3157]

You guys all ok?

[@Sadams707]

Mr Scott passed and I read they sold the farm in 2020

[@carrollthim8460]

see two hades one tractor mite like this haying after its good two work at haying god bless

[@Techguyz1]

What drives the bailer when behind the rake?

[@AndersonCattleCo]

Will you bale 1/2 circle a day with the little baler? or what do you shoot for if the weather is working with you.

[@scottfreeman796]

AndersonCattleCo. I only cut about 15 to 20 acres down at a time depending on the thickness. That usually puts me between 1500 to 1800 bales .

[@Smittyschannel]

So about how many days does it lay in the field to dry out before you bale them? Thanks for explaining it to us newbies out here lol

[@englishmaninengland1451]

Great video. I'm watching here in England, U.K. Love your accent. Can you say great & awesome please? 😁

[@NorthTexasHay]

Alex Turner lol!

[@randyhawkins3696]

I need some input on your water wheels for your irrigation

[@NorthTexasHay]

How can I help

[@bwilburn542004]

What was your moisture content that day since you cut and baled the same day? Did you spray it?

[@mfults6915]

Nice look in hay tha ts what I shoot for good quality horse hay when I do ours I make about 80 acres worth can't go as fast tho do to we live in hilly area.

[@NorthTexasHay]

Good luck

[@farminwithfergusons]

hydraulic drive rakes. what powers the baler hydraulic? and a pull type accumulator. nice combo.

[@NorthTexasHay]

FarmerJHowell hydraulic density on the baler is controlled by the baler.

[@farminwithfergusons]

what powers the pto fer the baler

[@scottfreeman796]

In the tractor and in the kitchen and barefoot in both...what a woman!

[@NorthTexasHay]

Ridin' Green ha!

[@jonoffgoodman]

Is that second cut. You should let it dry out before you cut ted rake and bale all in the same day.

[@NorthTexasHay]

This process took 3 days to complete

[@stephenblackwood5255]

Good video , Uk Northumberland

[@scottfreeman796]

Stephen Blackwood thanks for watching

[@randyhawkins3696]

Where did you get it and how much did it cost I don't need that bigger one but I need at least two smaller ones but I can't find them in my area and what kind of problems have you had with him

[@randyhawkins3696]

Them not him

[@isfahelww]

Question. You went directly from tedding to baling. I though you would ted because its not quite dry, then give it a day to finish drying? I'm new thus year to making my own hay and trying to learn all I can to do it right.

[@NorthTexasHay]

isfahel ww I ted before I bale partly because we pull the rake in front of the baler. The goal is to have the the hay dry enough to start baling by 1 o'clock

[@Bg1111ghk]

I've always wondered the difference between horse hay and cow haw?

[@NorthTexasHay]

The only difference is the money put into the hay and how you get it picked up.

[@rdekort9273]

You should try a lely tedder,they are the best,ones you have one you never want anyting else

[@NorthTexasHay]

R de Kort ill look into one of those

[@dmorgan28]

👍👍👍❤️

[@rickyunderhill9446]

doing a good job

Thanks

I wish i could be doing that right now

[@Cinziaking]

No 'lesser halves' doing that work!

[@Videogamerforlife69]

wait she bails hay all day and still makes dinner. where do I find one like this...lol

[@michaelcoker3197]

Tedding??

[@matsamdersson3168]

Wow good looking woman 😘

[@jacobmundy576]

Why do you wear earphones

[@NorthTexasHay]

Jacob Mundy It's easier to talk on the phone - keeps your hands free. I also listen to audiobooks in the tractor.

[@garryulmer9789]

You may need pump and hose to take water out of your fields pa. farmer

[@NorthTexasHay]

Garry Ulmer it's funny you say that, it was less than 3 weeks ago I was pumping water into my ponds to keep them full. Now I'm considering pumping out water to stop them from overflowing so I can hay the low spots.

[@garryulmer9789]

What a year Rained every two days in central pa. More hay wrapped in plastic than dry hay made

[@NorthTexasHay]

Garry Ulmer Mother Nature has been hard on hay farmers this year

[@dejanira2]

Sorry, but I don't agree with one partner being second string. This is a case of 2 partners making much more then the sum. Other then that looking good!

[@NorthTexasHay]

Agreed, thank you

[@chevyon37s]

Awesome you can save fuel taking and baling in a single pass, that would never work for us.

[@scottfreeman796]

Drew w in a two person operation it allows me to begin picking up bales almost as soon as they drop on the ground, keeps me from working till midnight getting them in the barn. We would have to run the rake basically in front of the baler to keep it from over drying so it made sense for us

[@michaelcoker3197]

oh
