Good Day for some Overkill - Raking & Baling

[@stanhensley3082]

This is how a farm works.If the weather is right you work even on Sunday.And everyone works,Mom too.And you always say thanks to Mom for helping.Thanks.

[@martyd5819]

Farm families like yours is why America has ALWAYS been great. Thank you and all that farm. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

[@jmurphy1973]

Our rock picking implement of choice was a '78 Ford 4x4 with (numerically) high gearing and the transfer case in 4L. It would lope along at a pace that would allow one person on each side to toss rocks into the bed. The furrows were usually enough to keep it straight so you could simply worry about rocks. Get to the fence line, turn the truck around and go the other way and empty the bed. Rinse, repeat.

[@verti7268]

5:23 how satisfying with all those pretty lines

[@LandonHarris.]

Glad you cleared the air on the strips Ryan! Never made much sense to me nor ever seen it done in Indiana.

[@RKHarm24]

Glad your mom has a sense of humor, picks on you, her baby boy.

[@tarefoot]

Those field strips you used the ripper on sure are pretty, looking from your drone.....Merry Christmas to ya all and remember the reason for the season.

[@bluemtnsman]

Merry Christmas to the entire family there,,, yes, Jamie too.

[@rfb91a]

Excellent video as always,,, Loved the drone footage (and it's shadow).

[@FirstLast-ze7sl]

To you and yours Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@nahueldiaz2482]

Here, in Argentina, at this time, the maize just some are blooming lol, and you there in the US and have harvested almost everyone

[@petermillet485]

That's so cool mom helps like that.

[@troyp467]

its funny seeing a 7000 series on the 566 baler because we have VHS's on both and i watched them dozens of times when i was little so i would be shocked if i couldn't hop in that setup and figure out how to run it. Although the JD baler monitors are fairly nice and simple.

[@corbysherman4710]

I love your dogs. I grew up with Golden's.

[@randallweuve3118]

you guys look like your having a great time. nice pup,merry x mas happy new year!

[@MultiCobbler]

Ryan Schutte Manufacturing makes a really good rock bucket. they are over here south of Manitowoc. My bother has one and it works great. Merry Christmas.

[@jankotze1959]

Cool Family team work!!

[@benbauer3070]

Overkill is when we pot the rake on the t6070.Great vid

[@danjenkins9427]

i love a skid steer for loading stacking hay

[@bryang9054]

U ever bale any bean stouble for the cattle, it is harder for them to tare apart the a corn bale but they love them to!!

[@canvids1]

a great video Ryan thanks.

[@douglaslaramie9245]

Yea Ryan, Ma never lost any bales. Ma, you may have to take the pup for one trip to show him how it's done. Nice to meet you Mrs. Kister. Please photo bomb more of Ryan"s videos, we all love a pretty face. Doug SW Ont.

[@nellsonstout7001]

Overkill is underrated. My cousin uses a 7120 magnum for all his hay duty

[@dylan5001]

I appreciate the reply to my comment about why yall farm in strips, thanks!

[@pa.heifergrower67]

Haha , I liked your mom picking on you about losing a bale .

[@DennysCountryLife]

It's amazing how dusty baling corn stocks gets. Imagine doing that without a cab!

[@Agriculturespotter]

Good video!

[@CoalChrome]

I aint gonna be on line for the ivestream. Hey Ryan, next spring there is a mecum auction that has two IH 5080 series tractors offered at no reserve. Be pretty cool to see you with sometin other that good ol' JD.

[@howardyounger5456]

Great video Ryan . Im from Colorado we farm in squares but I even knew why you conture farm, it is like the old strip farming here but that is to control the wind on light soils. It is pretty looking but harder to work. I am still trying to see how the corn planter work is it wasteful on seed?

[@Tugger_Case]

That's amazing I have never seen anyone bale cornstalks before! How is the consistency for bedding? I would think it would be quite harsh....... Have you ever tried shredded paper?

[@generationll]

How often do you feel a need to go out to the fields & pick rocks?

[@Farmboy-fs5xw]

big rollers work well also

[@humfgot]

So, your farms use it like we use wheat, barley, or oat straw. We have had cattle for years, but first time corn growers this year. Only 40 acres. Corn has lots of growth. is it hard on the baler? do you have any tips?

[@toddcat64]

have you ever figured had much p and k you are removing when you bale the stalks also do you add extra fert where you baled or is this where you spred your manure

[@troyp467]

ok i was talking with my dad about the field shapes and that was what he was thinking. He said more in lines of don't some states down there have regulations about chemical runoff and that is why you have grass fields in lower spots? Thanks for clearing it up it made no sense to me but our grounds is somewhat hilly but nobody does that in Manitoba.

[@Northern_Farmer]

The grass in the low spots is where the water runs... so it wont erode the soil cause the grass's roots will hold it there.

[@jacob-ze1ed]

What determines what tractor you use on the rake? And are you going to rip the corn ground at the main farm as well, now that the bales are off?

[@lonervoxin2733]

I love your videos Ryan

[@Gator-12]

will you guys be filling the silos next year? or did you sell of the silage equipment?

[@dpcdiesels326]

Nice video as always

[@fergie35X]

We share the same surname, where are you from?

[@HergenriderCattle]

Finally got a bale spear on the skidsteer!?

[@kiwicowcocky]

What is up with the criss cross clouds never seen anything like it in New Zealand?

[@benlea8663]

Nice video- how many acres do you have?

[@waterskiingfool]

A rare mom sighting

[@nahueldiaz2482]

Very nice video. greetings from Argentina. From which US zone? I am also related to agriculture, I have a farm here in Argentina, that's why I like your videos.

[@rlhippen]

Nahuel Díaz He farms in the central USA. Wisconsin is the state.

[@nahueldiaz2482]

Oh that's good!!!. My farm is in the center of the province of Buenos Aires, it would be to the east of Argentina

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

I see you are using a bale spike instead of a pallet fork like you usually do.

[@BrotherJohn-mz4qe]

Why do you all not use cover crops?

[@johns8771]

Do you have to adjust the baler to accommodate coarse material like corn stalks?

[@CJSlayerrr]

Over here in the UK I've not seen a farm bale up stalks like this, would it be the same as foraging maize but without the corn heads??

[@lukebaumgartner1747]

Herocommand Not exactly sure what you meant, but the bales here are used for bedding not food.

[@remcoscholtmeijer3044]

Another great video ryan! Are you guys planning on getting a new rake for next year? Maybe one like wes has is a good option?

[@HowFarmsWork]

;)

[@rmack48]

Do you guys ever contemplate inoculating the corn stalk bales that you use for feed with an additive like a protein supplement with molasses in it to increase the food value of the bales?

[@philiplogemann314]

R MacK the bales are not specifically being used for food. They are doing it for bedding but the cows will end up eating some of it not enough to inoculate them though.

[@bryang9054]

I'm still amazed how many people don't know why farmers in some areas do conture strips!

[@kevinwillis9126]

will Jamie be back for christmas be nice to see her..

[@kylesloss5628]

do yall use regular bailing twine for stalks or special? stupid question but down here we ain't got corn

[@reganweatherly7580]

You guys need a kicker on the bailer

[@itsMEorMe97]

Is planting the same crop in the same location year after year effective? Why not run a crop rotation involving more than 2 crops with some nitrogen fixing crops to replenish nutrients in the ground?

[@doubleastocktrading]

How do you know when to stop and let the bale roll out?

[@SouthernBoy-jy8nq]

will yall ever get another loader tractor?

[@wyattritter6473]

where you driving the 4020 at 7:04?

[@cleytonfumaca8986]

why don't you plow the land? awesome video

[@sebastianbarker6931]

I love the 4640

[@Duramaxhd]

how long have you guys been farming?

[@jakehelmkamp7815]

You guys should make a video over anhydrous

[@MrGoosePit]

We got to see your fodder, and your mudder in this vid!

[@StephenMortimer]

That's inspired... for your honeymoon take MissJaime on the USS Stone Boat !!

[@danvanhoose6783]

does fodder roll up quicker than hay and straw?

[@dimduk]

Do you prefer tracked or wheeled skid loaders and what's your favorite make?

[@marlauesc]

dimduk Tracked is verry good but verry expensive. New Tracks Idlers and Drivewheels for a Bobcat T320 cost 10000Euro Vta included in Luxemburg. I had to renew id every 1500 houers! If you have to work only on concrete or hard soils a tire skidsteer is less expensive and smoother too ride.

[@dimduk]

Bob Cat thanks for the info I think I would go Tires over tracks to

[@marlauesc]

dimduk You are welcome! Greatings from Luxemburg

[@jbmbanter]

Great video Ryan. I was going to be disappointed if you had not shown Mom in the video. And Mom out driving the tractors, etc. is why it's called a family farm.

[@SkiDoo857]

gotta ask how many dogs do you guys have in your family?

[@humfgot]

what are the fodder bales used for o. your farms? bedding, bedding, both, neither?

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Charles Rempel Mostly bedding but the cows will eat them too.

[@garrettsims7202]

How Farms Work why do you shut your baler off when you eject the bale? We have a 567 JD baler and we don't shut ours off. Great video

[@PAHerefords]

Garrett Sims they don't shut it off, it's just the belts loosen from the drive bar, but the pto is still running. our baler does the same thing, otherwise the belts would tangle one another

[@garrettsims7202]

Brandongriffith450 Watch the belts because at first I thought I was misinterpreting what I saw them I started watching the pto shaft it would stop when they went to eject a bale.

[@mukymik6414]

Nice to see mum out and about doing the job a "bit better" than her boy!!

[@stanleyjones4180]

thanks for making the videos

[@wallacedavidg]

Question from a city boy. How much does one of those round bales weigh? I remember summers on my uncle's farm and the hay bales weighed about 80 pounds.

[@larrykriete7035]

those round bales only weigh about 1200 lbs.

[@brennenb9609]

Depends on the bale. Our round bales weight about 1400-1500 lbs

[@emile81]

Great video ! But i'm asking myself, why do corn bales ? Why don't do barley, wheat or oat for straw, isn't better for bedding the cows ? Here in Europe, nobody bale the corn stalks.

[@HowFarmsWork]

We haven't done oats this year and we need it for bedding. Next year we'll be doing some oats to seed down alfalfa.

[@camdenkennebeck6181]

How Farms Work WE HAVE THE SAME RAKE!!!!!!

[@duanewitt7034]

How Farms Work

[@jonathannatalie8391]

hey ryan i was wondering how many acres u guys have?

[@jordanvinski3601]

Ryan, how many acres of corn fodder do you bale a year? Also have you ever thought to make a about us page so a lot of the same questions don't come up, like why you have your contours, your equipment and so and so since you get a lot of the same questions, just a thought

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Jordan Vinski 300 bales. www.howfarmswork.com

[@jordanvinski3601]

How Farms Work thank you, well I know all about your farm as I have been a subscriber for over a year but if other people knew they could get all that info there rather then the same questions might be easier to help out, maybe add the about us link in all the descriptions of videos, keep up the great work!

[@EmiDK]

If you have a rainy year and cant do corn stalk bales like here, what do you use for bedding then? Hay? You dont have wheat, barley or such so you dont have any straw to bale - or am i wrong?

[@HowFarmsWork]

We haven't had a year where we couldn't get stalks baled yet, but if we needed to we would go buy straw.

[@EmiDK]

How Farms Work okay. Thank you for the answer :)

[@kravis_6131]

weres the snow ?

[@danilosilvat.7157]

Greetings wish you the best, luck from chile

[@tomasrychecky1396]

It presses the cornstalks

[@andreaskar9280]

how many hectars do you work?

[@theamericanfarmer1064]

great video

[@grussingfarms]

on that one rocky field why not just disk it in spring and plant beans or just notill into the corn stalks that's what we did with our rocky field we just did not chisel the field

[@TheDarrenc1973]

So if you had to work your farm as they did 100 years ago but uou could keep 1 piece of modern day equipment what would it be???

[@wyattritter6473]

BLACK SMOKE MATTERS!!! 5:41

[@josephhawdoidownloadedthed9022]

what the different in the 4440 and 4460

[@سعيد-ص8ق]

Where are you from?

[@tristanbissell5126]

Why do you guys bale the stalks? So you can plant something else?

[@lukebaumgartner1747]

Tristan Bissell For use as bedding for cattle.

[@tristanbissell5126]

Luke Baumgartner oh ok thank you on my family farm we never baled stalks that I know of

[@larrykriete7035]

You can mix the stalks into the feed ration for feeding cattle.

[@michaelhintz6187]

Where is the snow?

[@ttvplayz956]

What state are you in their is 9 inches of snow here.

[@philiplogemann314]

C&C Scoot the videos are a month behind, he lives in Wisconsin

[@ttvplayz956]

Okay thanks

[@Brian4449]

are the corn bales for the cows?

[@rlhippen]

Brian4449 Yes bedding for the cows.

[@charlieturner9980]

Hi what is you flavour tickets

[@connort1163]

You should pick those rocks up by hand doing that builds character it helps u think that when u think your life sucks u can remember that picking up rocks by hand sucks way more😄

[@tjthunder185]

How do I get to work for another farm? Like I want to be a farmer I have experience in tractors I baled hay for the farmer that owned the fields around my house but he don't farm any more to sick and I want to know how to ask a farmer for a job

[@maxbuhmiller9414]

Hey Ryan I'm asking for a how farms work pullover for Christmas

[@maxbuhmiller9414]

Down on the Model Farm it's a sweater I guess just what I call it you pull it over your head to put it on

[@owenchristensen1703]

ryan how many cows do you own.

[@joshuafoster4824]

What is this for?

[@donald1056]

What do you use the fodder for??

[@HowFarmsWork]

We use it for bedding.

[@raymondaston4796]

farm work and farm live never done

[@danvan590]

whats the background music?
