Dropping The First Cut Of Hay!

[@CavanCu]

The drone shots of the field being cut - sooo cool!! Thanks for stopping for the duck and nest. We did about 4000 bales on our farm in the mid 1970s twice a summer and I am floored at how far the equipment has come. It's like you are in the Star Wars Millenium Falcon being able to drive that equipment backwards. 🤗

[@michael7423]

I love the detailed explanation of your equipment and everything in between the entire process!

[@hoophil]

Hi Jan! Man you're videos are the best. The video quality and your narration is top notch, the best! Thank you for sharing your farming life with us!! Stay safe and healthy! Amazing how you saw the duck and went around the nest, Good man!

[@mac-sonnymiles31]

I made my comment the went on to start reading others. I could of just tagged I to yours :) he does do great work! And I agree with going around the duck nest!

[@handiman5001]

Great drone shots, thanks for stopping in time for the ducks, and the equipment today is so great -- I drove a cough and choke lung special with a huge 16 ft header and I swear the top speed was "AW come on, I can walk faster"

[@timothyconley4776]

Thank you for explaining how the cutter functions and why you were cutting field early. I am an information geek and love all the knowledge you have given me about dairy farming. Please keep it up. I look forward to each and every video.

[@lonepine5596]

Nice video with drone. Great explanation of process and weed control. Nice to see you spare the duck eggs, speaks well of your practices. Wonderful videos as always!

[@mac-sonnymiles31]

You’re videos are top notch!The slow-motion, Drone footage, audio, time-lapses; all of it along with your details descriptions/explanations make it very entertaining to watch. Thank you for inviting us into your world.

[@sueupham2519]

We love this with their shots,,,and that Jan and machine are amazing...great summer ahead

[@MacDonVideos]

Awesome video! Thanks again for choosing MacDon for your operations!

[@pattylange9437]

Thank you for looking out for wildlife ♥️

[@casey5711]

Excuse Me , A MacDon swather WOW😀👍🏾 The reverse seat , never saw or heard of that before. All around GREAT video including you again. Thank you so much 😀👍🏾🚜🐄🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@rydergilbertson6803]

Actually I find a lot of old broken macdon stuff in central sask just suffering through Facebook

[@ronhooks1123]

The saving of the duck eggs done it for me!! You are Superior!!! You love wildlife too, are you real?? It is good to see people who loves wildlife and they do their part to save it. Thank you for sharing. Peace from SW Florida 😇!!!

[@michael7423]

I wish I could be your farmhand, I love the life you live! As always thank you for sharing, stay safe and stay well! God bless you and your family farm!!!

[@waynebulson941]

So enjoyable, as usual. You obviously give thought to the specifics you want to feature, and allow room for the unexpected as well. So I guess you didn't have duck eggs for dinner?!! It's good you're giving wildlife room to grow. Much thanks as always!

[@chriscrosby8012]

Hi Eric sent me over here. Nice video!! Good of you to go around the duck eggs !! 😊🚜

[@johann752]

hi Jan,thanks for this video, your explaining and showing this big machine, i love to see it.greetings johann the Netherlands.

[@sandracorless6186]

Hey Jan, once again great footage from the drone as well as ground footage. That's really cool on how you can spin the seat around and that was very sweet of you to save the ducks nest😘 so whats next for SDK keep up the good work and see you in the next video🤔😯🦆👏😘

[@kenlynch6332]

Great camera positions & Drone footage as always. Very classy move sparing the duck eggs.

[@moondawg5]

Very impressed with your talents.........choice of music, angles and drone shots seem to be getting better and better. You do Canada proud! Greetings from northern Vancouver Island

[@carlisle]

Thanks Jan! Love the videography - you get such cool shots. Also, thanks for all the detailed explanations for us non-farmers. Keep up the good work.

[@Wombats-1]

I’m a new viewer of this channel, it’s impressive how much knowledge this young man has. I knew farming was tough, but he makes it look easy. Great job buddy

[@brentreid7031]

After seeing the duck eggs curiosity got the best of me. So went and looked and today there are eight baby ducks swimming in the ditch along the lane. And west of the barn the four Canada Geesse are walking around all proud of their 13 baby Goslings.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

The chopper looks like a pretty scary piece of equipment. No place for hands. A neat cab is a happy cab, you did a great job.I like that you take safety seriously.The drone footage was really fun to watch. Thanks for another great video.

[@phyllisstrider2998]

Thanks for another informative video. Boy there is a lot to know and keep up with. Thanks for saving the ducks too.👏🇺🇸❤

[@jjcactusandsucculents-open2156]

That was fun Dutch! Thank you for sharing :-)

[@maxchef6203]

Great video! Great saving ducks!!!!!!!! Great guy you are.

[@joanlittle4235]

I sure love going along with you because I am 90 yrs now and I do a lot remembering Thank for time to do this.. love Granny90

[@Shaneodell35]

You have great drone shots, and the ducks you saved?? Epic!!!

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video, love cutting hay down , I do it all on our hay cutting

[@pnwRC.]

Hay cutting sure has came a long ways. We use to have to cut with a tractor. One tractor cut it, the same tractor was attached to the tedder, then the rake, & later the bailer. The same tractor was used to pick the bails up out of the fields too.

[@gaetanbolduc8417]

Nice move to spare the duck’s nest! Great Canadian spirit!

[@budprine1591]

I had never heard of MacDon equipment before. I googled them and found they are based in Winnipeg. They have plant tour videos on their website. After watching all the U.S,. farmers its refreshing to see how things differ in Canada. Thanks to our Canadian neighbors.

[@BWYinYang]

MacDon makes headers for combines as well.

[@kellyrobinson3136]

Bud Prine - Thank you for this info. I'm going to have to check out. Pretty amazing transition from the machinery back 20-30yrs ago and now.

[@lonepine5596]

McDon is a long time Canadian equipment manufacturer. They build quality equipment and were the originator of the massive combine Draper heads that are wildly used nowdays. Canadian engineering isn’t some of the best.

[@zeroride]

Love the drone shots! Also good on you for swathing around the duck nest.

[@puirYorick]

You're a good egg for sparing the wild duck nest there.👍

[@joenoe7885]

It really amazes me to see how clean your farm is,,, that's total dedication....good job my friend...

[@danfinley3690]

Thanks for the awesome drone footage and for the explaining the equipment in detail. Keep the videos coming

[@michael7423]

Thanks for saving the ducks 🦆

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

I just love how well you explain every machinery, so interesting.. Not only what the machine does but also how and you really explain it truly very smooth and super understandable 👌 And I also never have seen that handy 'vacuumer in a toolbox' , that is a nifty little thing!?

[@lewislindsey1946]

Dutchy, really great work!

[@condod414]

👍👍 on farm safety. Love the drone footage. Thank you for sharing.

[@TFormanek]

The drone time lapse of swathing was excellent. You have some really unique shots in this video. Nice work!

[@patricksmith3135]

Great video and thanks for sparing that nest.

[@juan-paulbotes1107]

Love your videos Jan! I literally can't wait for the next video to go live! Haha

[@edwinjahnes2739]

Fantastic video - love the way you explained everything with your cutter. Thanks

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

Best Cinematography out of all the farming channels on youtube. Jan, you growing a soul patch dude?

[@auldfouter8661]

When we moved our silage cutting later - back into early June , the curlews were generally hatched, but there were tons of gulls that came to feed on the stubbles and the chicks needed to make it to the edges of the field where there was still cover. Some must have, as the population of curlews remained , at least until we sold up. When we made silage in May the tractor driver used to try and mark the nests before cutting , but even leaving a few yards around the nest probably still gave the mothers a scare. Early cutting is essential to make quality silage for dairy cows , but it isn't very compatible with some wildlife.

[@richardbrooks3569]

You do a very good job of explaining what's going on.

[@gerolddenhaan9942]

Great beautifull again as always, big drone shots 👍🏻

[@codyfrankl3352]

Hey Jan, we have exact same swather and header over by Regina, so not too far away! But we have our auto steer button set to the little green button on the joystick, works very well then you never have to take your eyes off the header to hit the auto steer button

[@Reveers]

I worked R&D on the Macdon SP500 tractor and draper headers. AMA. Great videos, SaskDutchKid, keep up the hard work!

[@jamesb9514]

Good on you for stopping at those eggs!

[@timothymbonham4453]

Some vegan will soon be along to claim Jan is only saving the mother duck & eggs so they will grow big enough for him to butcher and eat them!

[@DoubleD.]

Safety first - for dang sure. I bet you learned it from your family. I just love your channel.

[@waynetaylor5390]

WHAT AN AWESOME PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, ESPECIALLY BEING ABLE TO TURN ENTIRE INSIDE AROUND TO RUN IT THAT WAY AND ALSO GPS SYSTEM. NOW IM FAMILIAR WITH GPS CAUSE I WORKED FOR MY COUSIN RUNNING HIS DUMP TRUCK ON CONSTRUCTION SITES AND MOST OF DIRT MOVING EQUIPMENT ALL HAD GPS. TAKE CARE AND KEEP VIDEOS COMING AND IF I EVER HEAD UP YOUR WAY I PLAN ON STOPPING IN TO VISIT WITH YOU 👍 . WINNY FROM PGH., PA., U.S.A.🇺🇸, ✝️👏🙏😇👍

[@timothyshepodd7826]

Cows mouths, horse’s ears, dog’s paws - all bad news for foxtails. Nice job with the natural weed control. Blessings!

[@icebabysnocain]

That is a nice looking machine. Some of the guys have to crimp with a separate machine after they cut. This is slick. I don't think some of these toys existed when I farmed. I like watching you drive and explain things. Good vid. Peace.

[@suemay8120]

Loved it...drone footage was excellent!

[@sjbennett7130]

Another great video with Jan 🎉🎉

[@garlandhenry6792]

Now that is a cool cutter !!! Great video - - - thanks

[@hfff1]

Nice save! I really like the swather. It seems faster, especially turning. Could you go into why you went swather vs. mower conditioner sometime?Thanks! Hope you follow up on the Fox tail control strategy.

[@wallaceloan4169]

Thanks for the great video and how you tell us about the whole job. Keep up the good work

[@EleanorPeterson]

I'm based in the north of England, and I love the scale of things out where you are. One of your 'fields' is about the size of mainland Britain! ;-)

[@christianerno9040]

I have the same Milwaukee Vacuum. I love it. Best US$99 Home Depot purchase ever.

[@dcal702]

Sponsorship with the cordless vac? Perfectly placed in frame. Love the field work vids.

[@colleenrenee]

All we have to do to entertain my 1 year old baby sister is turn on SaskDutch Kid and she will stay there for a few videos and it's a good educational thing to watch and even better, my whole family loves to watch SaskDutch Kid! Great job, keep up the good work for my baby sister! 😂😂😂

[@rnp1785]

Wow you guys got some fancy equipment 👍

[@karencorcoran4628]

Aw. You are cute for going around the duckies eggs. A true prairie man.

[@04SURE]

Very talented educational young man! Im impressed by your knowledge and work ethic 💯💪🏽🤙🏽

[@lonepine5596]

Canadian equipment manufacturers are some of the best engineering out there. McDon, Bourgault, and others 🇨🇦

[@SuperMatt2112]

Nice video mate, thanks for your awesome explanations on things I've never known even existed. and thanks for recognizing and taking care of the Ducks, that was an awesome save man. I love it.

[@jff-b3363]

Love the drone shots!

[@kenrichardson4144]

Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍

[@barbarastedillie1336]

Loved this vid. The drone footage was exceptional...

[@KanakaMaoli1]

Love your videos here in Hawaii there are a few cattle farms but dairies are a thing of the pass, too many outsiders move here and complain about everything...Oh the cows stink...Oh the waste was is getting into our aquifer, they make me sick. Anyway you make great video's, thanks for going around the Ducks nest, I hope the Bailer does the same. Aloha

[@skline1398]

Great job filming and editing.

[@dimduk]

Great camera shots, this was a well made video!

[@robertgarrett1593]

Where is this being recorded? Great film l like watching your videos.

[@jimzoesch5799]

Thanks for sharing and keep them coming, please.

[@johnlong3214]

Fanastic machine, I've seen them before but never driven one, great video.👍

[@mrrgg9099]

Excellent video editing. Love the drone footage.

[@ldtenenoff]

just another great vid really good editing, hope ur season is bountiful. thanks fer ur time ,peace

[@mannsjm]

Getting close to the 100k subscriber mark. Congratulations

[@johnfawcett1715]

Great job protecting that nest!

[@steveadams99708]

Do you have any problems with that power grease gun blowing out seals? Good job of taking care of the equipment. Love the drone shots! Thank you.

[@timothymbonham4453]

He's mentioned in other videos that the power grease gun has a setting so that it automatically stops pumping at the set pressure. So it's probably safer than a manual one, which depends on the human pumping it to pay attention and stop at the right time.

[@asquithmainlines699]

Another great video with awesome drone footage. Do you come across many fawns while cutting? I know some guys hang chains from a bar out front to spook them into standing up. Unfortunately a few of them do get run over without the operator ever seeing them.

[@maikipr]

Hating them adds but loving you saving them duck eggs 😊👌

[@davidsquall351]

Good catch on the nest! :)

[@lindamitchell-fox1926]

I so need a gps auto steer on my 54” zero turn mower. 😊. You reach down to smack a bug on you and the line goes crooked.

[@brentreid7031]

Have you ever tried a discbine. I agree 100% with you that cutting the grass early and get a chemical free weed control. Look forward to seeing the chopper working. Thank you for the video update eh.

[@stoker261]

great camera and drone angles. tx kid

[@dylantanner7217]

Make many more vids of hay please it’s awesome your clips are awesome I do t want it to end

[@ipfreely10001]

Jan, what exactly was the "grass" type you were cutting and swathing plz? To us in the UK, it looked a v thin crop,- we are more tetraploid ryegrass etc for early silaging or round bales. Love the vids.

[@maryclairekalamafoni9524]

That's a nice lawn mower ya got there. Suppose ya need it when yer lawn i that big!!! 😂 (...still impressed with you kid, still impressed...) 😇

[@dirkdutoit5841]

Like your videos very much. Greetings from South Africa.

[@benhancock8143]

Those duck eggs are awesome! Your Jedi skills were high stopping so fast!

[@LittleJulio.]

Sick camera angles and editing!

[@kimsenio288]

We had the same issues with our hay bine. Every two rows we would have to get out and get all the dirt out of the header. And we would plug up a lot. It was annoying. We were growing our cow herd, we thought it would be a good idea to buy a disc bine, we haven’t went back to haybining. Keep up the great content!

[@tannerk9036]

Are discbines worth the price though I've always wondered because they sound too good to be true

[@kimsenio288]

Tanner K yes the are worth the price we bought a brand new deere and cut about 65 acres in a day without stopping it was great!

[@lesrose800]

Yet again a great video keep up the good work Les

[@belfast479]

Excellent vid, Jan. Stay safe.

[@mariuse.5424]

Nice video jan 👍🏻did you bought the chopper this year or do you have it already a few years?

[@jayyoung5423]

Good save on the ducks, you the man!
