Extreme Farming On Steep and Dangerous Side Hills!

[@ryanbachman9227]

Great video. I like how you guys do a job such as fencing and cleaning up tree lines and seeding it back down and making it look good. God bless

[@nathanalmond8280]

George you are making it look nice. You can tell it's on the hillside but the camera doesn't show you quite how steep it is. Beautiful farm. Thanks for sharing the video.

I grew up on a cattle and sheep farm near Mountain Lake Virginia. It was steep like that. We got our first tractor when I was 12. A 1961 John Deere 1010 that my brother still uses for a small hay operation. Big transformation from farming with horses to farming with a tractor. Every morning I fix my first coffee then hope I find a new video. I’m amazed at all the equipment you have. I didn’t know what a haybine was until I saw it on this channel. My favorite videos are of you grinding feed. We got ours ground at the local Farm Bureau.

Momma Gierok did a awesome job filming😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

The ingenuinity of the American farmer is amazing! Managing such steep slopes requires a special sense of precisely how to "do things" on them. An' please get your mom to narriate future videos. I remember when "dear ol' dad" was a bit "camera shy." But he seems to have risen to the challenge. Keep 'em commin' !

[@daleberghorn6504]

That a very steep hill that no till drill looks like a great machine love the awesome views great videos as always 😊

[@theburnhams2925]

Yes, these folk are very wise to get seed in the ground a.s.a.p. on that grade! An' just imagine...it's (slippery) clay all the way to China (or at least what the posthole auger can show us...) This area seems "ripe" for specialized "side-hill" combines, etc. (cooperatively-owned) Smart, industrious folk, these.

George is a pro on the hills.

[@br927]

Looks Good! good job! When I plowed side hills, I'd throw the furrow up hill, that way your one tire was in the furrow and kind of helped level the tractor out somewhat! even put blocks on the tractor on one side to keep the plows from falling down the hill!

I really like how your Dad is not afraid to use " all " the throttle no matter what he is operating.

[@gunnarbeck225]

Good job momma 😊

[@johnhenderson299]

Great video working the side hills

[@markflick1641]

What a view . 👍

[@jpeel2066]

At least you wont have any standing water on that land. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

I've made hay on steeper slopes, but we all have to do what we are comfortable doing. Those 7810's will stick like they are magnetic to slopes, or at least feel like they do. Better than the newer stuff feels in hinky places.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

That's definitely steep, be safe George. Thanks for sharing.

[@reginabraok939]

Looks steep! You all look busy, getting much accomplished as usual! Stay safe on those hillsides!

[@harveypenner2386]

enjoyed watching!

[@rogerschlitter5116]

We saw farmers in Norway round baling hay up and down the very steep hills rather than going across on the contour. They didn’t let bales loose until they were at the bottom of the hills. We were there early July so it was still barely dusk at 11:00 at night and there was a farmer behind our country hotel who was still baling hay.

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

I'm in Western Pennsylvania and I can show you some territory and adjacent county to ours that they bale like that

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO AARON 😊

[@kevinanderson89]

Your camera person did great. I hate working steep hillsides. Stay safe

[@Blackwellll3066]

Cool video for sure

[@TimKrenz-j8t]

❤😊❤😊 GOOD IMPROVEMENT ❤😊❤😊

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Rollercoaster acres too!

[@mrt4547]

I farm the Mississippi River bluffs just north of Dubuque Iowa. I'm not sure whose farm is steeper, yours or mine. I would be bored if I had to farm anything flat and square.

[@alaskanrockfarmer3596]

Why not put in a contour terrace to catch run off?

[@Deborah-z3k]

I always ran the baler….. I helped my aunt bale hay on a steep slope like…..I almost lost the full load….Yep…I know how working on steep hills like that is….

[@stanhensley3082]

How steep is that ground?? I would call it NOSE BLEED STEEP!!! Better know what your doing or things could get upsittlng!! Thanks 😊.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

It's not the angle, it's the operator. You have to feel what the tractor is doing as much as see it. When you feel sideslip, you compensate or don't do it. 40 years running equipment, never laid anything over. Yet. 🙏🤞😊

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

And they call one of the hills they farm suicide hill. I was looking at the video where they were putting the fence in, (I'm watching a little out of order) and by the angle it looked about as steep as the pitch of the roof on our house. Maybe 3:12 at an uneducated guess.

[@bodiehot]

that is a steep hill.
