I appreciate that!

I grew up on a dairy farm in Maine. We almost never used a tedder. We had 2 New Holland Haybines and had the rear chute as wide open as it could go so we laid down wide swaths so it dried quickly.

[@RouthFarms]

Seems like the last several years we haven’t had a choice. If we don’t we just can’t get it dry all the way through and don’t want to risk mold or a fire.

[@aaronsanborn4291]

​@RouthFarms yep my uncle only got in one cutting last year it was so wet here, he always gets two. Hell I work construction contracted out to a big paving outfit I lost a week strait of work at one point last summer

[@Florida239]

Down in the south the humidity kills hay drying, without a Tedder your lucky if you ever get hay up dry the way the weather is anymore. I always wanted to go to Maine do some hunting 👍

[@treydavis5991]

I been mowing all day my dad said I did really good

[@RouthFarms]

That’s awesome. Where are y’all located? We are done with our hay until the fall

Very nice hay and hay bailer. i have a new holland 450 roll belt net wrap... i had the twine bailer for over 25 years.. let me tell you.. if you can afford one.. once you get the net wrapper you will NEVER use twine again.. its like night and day... my old New holland as it aged i would have a problem with one side tying and the other not and it would get to wear if it was thick hay it would clog.. i bought a new net wrap in 2019.. no more clogs and no more worrying about one side not tying.

[@RouthFarms]

I think net wrap would be awesome. Just a lot more money to spend. Maybe one day! Thanks for watching

[@richardclem8878]

We had a 925 moco with the tines and it cut our drying time down whole day we now have a vermeer with the tines and it's the same way there awesome

[@RouthFarms]

This is my first season with the 926, but I like it. Really enjoy the hydraulic fold!

[@HaloRanchGoatneckTX]

New viewer - great content. Please keep the hose of the fire extinguisher from rubbing on the PTO. If the hose gets damaged, it won't work properly if you need it.

[@RouthFarms]

Thanks for watching! Nice catch on the hose. I really need to buy a mount and mount it on the baler somewhere. It was just rubbing on the plastic shroud of the pto, but I’m sure I definitely could eventually rub a hole in it.

[@Florida239]

Need ya 3 point spear for the back move two at once with a smaller tractor cuts the work almost in half! Nice video I subscribed 👍

[@RouthFarms]

I appreciate that! I actually have one for the back, just never think to use it😂

[@NHFarms]

Always need a good “fluffer “ Lol😂.

[@RouthFarms]

Yes sir

[@Volfarmer]

The rain is a blessing and a curse, we have been fighting it in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. I just keep saying its part of farming, all we can do is leave it in the hands of the Good Lord and work hard!

[@RouthFarms]

Usually this time of year it stops raining. So I’m doing my best not to complain, but that’s hard when you can’t get in the field. Thankfully we are done with our hay and full season brand now

[@jamesberg3106]

Suggestion, carry that bale low coming out of the field. It will keep your tractor stable and you safe

[@RouthFarms]

Appreciate it

[@sodbuster518able]

Looks like you could've been a few ft further to the right with your moco ,looked like only mowing a 7 ft pass.

[@RouthFarms]

I was trying to figure out my autosteer. Hard to do everything and film at the same time.

[@fergieferguson2457]

I hate hay harvest time!this week first week with no rain! we’ve done our first bailing this week 480 rolls and not half way yet..

[@RouthFarms]

Wow! That’s a lot…. What do you do with all of your hay?

[@fergieferguson2457]

@@RouthFarms I keep what I need for my cattle and sale the rest.

[@rodneybalog4605]

They sure are good balers i cut miles and miles of ditches i use any good and cheap baler i run almost anykind if i find anything in good shape i buy them

[@sssniperboofygoofy]

I am going to finish tedding tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon I am raking and baling papa is going to rake and my uncle is going to come help move bales

[@RouthFarms]

Awesome! Hope it all goes well for you. I have about 30 more acres down now. Teddered today, might take and bale some tomorrow. Still trying to finish up getting my full season soybeans planted.

[@O.KFarmToysdeutzallis6275]

@@RouthFarms good luck to you. I’m just trying to cure my sunburn lol.

[@rodneybalog4605]

To be honest i never ever used a tedder see lots of them i cut with haybine disc bine swather never used them i figured they shake all good leafs off but maybie iam wrong ? But i always had it dry in 2 to 4 days depends on weather

[@RouthFarms]

It definitely can hurt the quality of hay by tedding especially things like alfalfa or clover. Here in NC our humidity is so high we have issues drying a lot of times if we don’t Ted it.

[@waynejones5239]

You never know how everything will work

[@ryany4326]

I'm confused, he's calling the bay mower a bush hog?

[@RouthFarms]

Bush hog brand… disc mower

[@rodneybalog4605]

Baler works i see made good bales

[@LoftinFarms]

Hay luke just so you know the past 3 or 4 videos every time you talk it goes silent on my IPhone if I play it on the computer it doesn’t do it and maybe it’s just me but just thought I’d let you know

[@RouthFarms]

Are you using headphones?

[@LoftinFarms]

@@RouthFarms no just my phone

[@RouthFarms]

That’s strange. On headphones only one side works. I’ve got a new media mod ordered for my go pro. I’ve been told that’s what’s wrong

[@LoftinFarms]

@@RouthFarms I was just letting you know it has only started doing it the past two or three videos

[@RouthFarms]

I appreciate it. Hopefully it will be worked out by the time I start getting into wheat

I think you need to do less talking and more mowing working.
