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!

[@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"

[@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.

[@MacDonVideos]

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

[@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!

[@chriscrosby8012]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@sueupham2519]

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

[@pattylange9437]

Thank you for looking out for wildlife ♥️

[@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.

[@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

[@kenlynch6332]

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

[@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!!!

[@maxchef6203]

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

[@johann752]

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

[@danfinley3690]

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

[@zeroride]

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

[@Shaneodell35]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@jjcactusandsucculents-open2156]

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

[@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🤔😯🦆👏😘

[@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 😇!!!

[@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

[@phyllisstrider2998]

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

[@TFormanek]

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

[@joenoe7885]

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

[@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!?

[@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

[@patricksmith3135]

Great video and thanks for sparing that nest.

[@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.

[@gaetanbolduc8417]

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

[@Reveers]

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

[@wallaceloan4169]

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

[@lewislindsey1946]

Dutchy, really great work!

[@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.

[@gerolddenhaan9942]

Great beautifull again as always, big drone shots 👍🏻

[@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

[@jff-b3363]

Love the drone shots!

[@dimduk]

Great camera shots, this was a well made video!

[@DoubleD.]

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

[@puirYorick]

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

[@farmshoffman8475]

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

[@suemay8120]

Loved it...drone footage was excellent!

[@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

[@condod414]

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

[@garlandhenry6792]

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

[@karencorcoran4628]

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

[@richardbrooks3569]

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

[@barbarastedillie1336]

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

[@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! 😂😂😂

[@mannsjm]

Getting close to the 100k subscriber mark. Congratulations

[@skline1398]

Great job filming and editing.

[@mrrgg9099]

Excellent video editing. Love the drone footage.

[@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.

[@04SURE]

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

[@robertgarrett1593]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@dcal702]

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

[@rnp1785]

Wow you guys got some fancy equipment 👍

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

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

[@ldtenenoff]

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

[@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!

[@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.🇺🇸, ✝️👏🙏😇👍

[@johnlong3214]

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

[@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! ;-)

[@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...) 😇

[@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.

[@jayyoung5423]

Good save on the ducks, you the man!

[@christianerno9040]

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

[@LittleJulio.]

Sick camera angles and editing!

[@davidsquall351]

Good catch on the nest! :)

[@sjbennett7130]

Another great video with Jan 🎉🎉

[@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.

[@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

[@dylantanner7217]

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

[@lonepine5596]

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

[@stoker261]

great camera and drone angles. tx kid

[@kenrichardson4144]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@patshhi4620]

I’m glad you saw the duck before it was too late 🥰

[@lesrose800]

Yet again a great video keep up the good work Les

[@Chevy4x4dawg]

As always awesome video!!!!! Last couple years always have turkey nest in field. Always go around um. BTW you getting scruff?

[@michael7423]

Thanks for saving the ducks 🦆

[@timothyshepodd7826]

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

[@jimzoesch5799]

Thanks for sharing and keep them coming, please.

[@belfast479]

Excellent vid, Jan. Stay safe.

[@johnperry5102]

super video, very instructionanal, great job we watch all of them

[@lordhoho1]

Did you repair the large cow brush

[@saskdutchkid]

Ahh yes we did! I should let you guys know what was wrong with it!

[@Adrian-cm6bw]

Can you mow backwards because I can’t see how that header can?please answer

[@janstrnisa4702]

No

[@BWYinYang]

He turned the seat around for transportation mode, goes little faster.

[@benhancock8143]

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

[@maikipr]

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

[@johnfawcett1715]

Great job protecting that nest!
