I always liked being on the right end of the baler...on the tractor. Something satisfying about an all mechanical non electronic machine in action. Thanks for the video.

Great video Brandon brings back a lot of great memories when I was a teenager and young man on my Dad’s dairy farm and beef cattle operation in the early seventies to late seventies my cousin and I loaded many a bales just like you guys were doing. Dad didn’t get his first round baler till 1978 and WOW it saved a lot of work. Even with it we would still square bale around 1500 bales a year. Those were the GOOD OLD DAYS 👍

Brings back a lot of memories young man. Nothing any better than the smell of fresh cut alfalfa and sitiing behind a johhny popper. ❤

Awesome video, thanks for posting it! Great yields too for a first year stand, feeder err some potassium this fall and it will be thick enough next year to choke out the weeds. My dad and I really enjoy your videos, talk about them lots when we are hanging out together. Thanks for making them.

Wonderful to see and hear the old equipment running and working so well . Takes me back to our family farm in AUS in the 60s. Great video

Ol 720 sounds great!

Brings back memories, although we had a kicker baler . Nice and cool for putting up hay bales !

Put 300 lbs of potash and make you add boron. Our best hay seedings were planted with about 3 bushels of oats. We let the oats mature, and harvested them, than baled the straw. We let the seeding sit until next June. If the bull thistles came in we planted on cutting it when they flowered. That would kill most of them.

In 1962 we got a 14t with a bale enjector first one in the area baled 10 thousand a year

To take care of broadleaf weeds next year, dormant spray Sencor next Feb or March. New seeding can also be sprayed with Pursuit.

Thanks for sharing, always enjoy your videos Brandon. 👍👍🍻💪🗽

We never worried about weeds in a new seeding. They'll clip out as you take more cuttings. There's not a lot of good chemical options. We fed it to dairy heifers. Always better than snowballs.

Loving the teamwork with the family! Uncle Doug's John Deere 3020 and bar rake really did a smooth job, and your Dad rolling the windrows together was a smart move. It’s nice to see the classic tractors in action!

oh my that looks like the bailer I used at Phillip vito’s bailing hay and straw. the straw was not bad! to handle, the hay was very heavy! does the alfalfa have a unique smell? we would have 120 straw near 250 hay for his cows, great video! good luck and be safe out there!

We had the same bailing equipment as you. The only difference was the year was 1972. We ran A JD 70 and an Allis Chalmers WD45 to rake and sickle bar mow. I don't miss those days. Thank God for round bailers.

There is only 1 thing better than raking with a JD twin ! Raking with a team of horses !!!

Saw your year ago combine fire vid. I'm a farmer and the Fire Chief at Dawn Tx. I had a fire on my combine during wheat harvest. The machine was gone in 5 minutes. Rod went thru the block number one and broke the fuel filter off. Good electric fuel pump. Wind half in my favor lost 20 acres standing wheat. Start to finish in 45 minutes.

Not as fun as ducking bales thrown from a New Holland Hayliner with a kick baler while trying to stack a load in a wagon with racks!

@williammatzek4660 Ай бұрын

We never put fertilizer on alfalfa. Guess you will tell we you put on it.

@tractortalkwithgary1271 Ай бұрын

Definitely not working the 720 diesel on the rake I used my 720 diesel on the 336 John Deere baler. That was a really good marriage. I raked with my 9N Ford or one of my 520’s usually.
