Making Hay near East Earl Pennsylvania | Raking & Baling

[@richardherringjr3578]

I remember those days all too well back in the 70's!

[@wabeeman]

My favorite part was the look on the stacker's face as the bale went flying past, missing the wagon completely, on the corner. Been there, done that! 😳😅🤣

[@SimonKL11]

That's a nice little deutz on the baler😉👍 I always like to see small square balers in action👍👍

[@Andy-From-England]

This is for the comment section....love your videos mike😊

[@benjaminlandis3680]

Thank you for visiting Pennsylvania! My uncle lived in East Earl before he moved to New Holland. I grew up in Bucks County 60 mi east of East Earl. I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania now. We still do some small square baling. Send us some more videos from Pennsylvania!

[@billbennetch9144]

Nice to see you in our home state. Nice video,thanks. When i was young Dad baled all cuttings small square. Only started chopping haylage in 79. Now large squares. Actually enjoyed it,working together with cousins. I started driving 444 Massy Harris at the baler when i was 7,Dad stacked. He bought a new 4020 in 69 shortly thereafter i was promoted to the barn,sister got baler duty. Interesting she chewed gum in time with the baler plunger.

[@ScottPykare]

That would be a great day!!😊 I remember stacking all day. Couldn't do it now but fond memories.

Good video Mike, good swathe going into the baler keeping her full tidy bales that way, nice little tractors 🚜

[@jeffreyhoover2105]

Thanks mike for this video and for visiting a farm in Pennsylvania . I always enjoy watching your videos they are always action packed.keep up the good work.

[@chrisgossman6512]

I really like the vintage farm equipment still going. Yes, I saw the look when the bail was just out of reach.

[@jimmclean160]

I remember having one when I was a kid on the back of the bailer when we used to tumble pile in the enclosed wagons until we bought our first pull type bale wagon a 1033 new holland then went to a 1049 self propelled bale wagon traded this one off for a 1069 self propelled wagon

[@bobtuckosh9870]

I miss those days, always enjoyed those square bales.

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

You don't want to have your back turned at close range to that baler when one of those bales comes flying out, getting hit by a 40 to 60 pound bale in the chest or back can flat knock you down or knock you off the wagon to the ground if you don't have tall railings around it! LOL We had a Kneib popup bale loader for our flatbed hay trucks and they worked pretty nicely as long as you didn't have super heavy bales. Loved baling hay, nothing like the smell of fresh cut and baled hay, especially Alfalfa. Thanks Mike !

[@miked123ization]

Only about 10 miles from me, a lot of agriculture in this area. Thanks for visiting

[@BobJones-fv6zn]

6:55 That was a perfect shot! Right onto the stack.

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@outbackladas]

Good video, but hard work, pleased we have large round balers for most of it these days. Regards from Down Under.

[@Circle-P-Ranch]

Hope you went to Shady Maple while you were there. Also, a great tour at the New Holland plant just a few miles down the road

[@farmhandmike]

Not this trip but I was there last fall.

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

Shady Maple is over rated these days. The food quality is not near what it used to be. I’d go to Yoders in New Holland, Dieners, or even Millers in Ronks before I go back to Shady Maple. Really, just need to find some small old school diners. They are around, just need to know where to look.

[@joelg8004]

Looks like some nice dry hay that should make for sone happy animals.

[@michaelleach4868]

I don't miss those days.

[@AkbarMoncongloe]

Good video 👍

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Looks great 👍. We made hay last week.

[@noehueber6602]

Great vidéo thanks mike

[@ScottAlexander-q3b]

Growing up never had one of them baler that throwed hay seems like an easy way of doing it

[@DonWelter]

Really heavy windrows...wouldn't take long to load a wagon. Sure is beautiful farm country in that area. I've been there several times over the years on family vacations. Some of the Mennonites in our part of N. Central Ohio have roots in that region of Pa.

[@Gugernoot]

I'd never think of using a thrower when stacking wagons.

[@theburnhams2925]

That wagon hand really has to hustle, doesn't he?!

[@chadpaider1009]

I still don't understand why anyone would stack a kick baler wagon. You might get a few more in the wagon but is it worth the extra labor? That was the good thing about a kicker bailer only one person to do the job in the field. Just my thoughts

[@benjaminlandis3680]

It is easier to unload a wagon that has been stacked. It also works well if you don't have enough help to unload the wagons while you bale.

[@franciscosandiego3026]

I like Mike less videos on KZbin from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲

[@Dave-nx6ps]

I wonder how many times that poor guy has got a bale to the head !! LMFAO

[@_EmptyBox_]

Couple of times there I could see the worker on the trailer standing in the wrong place, and found myself thinking; "You really don't want to be standing there bud..." and then a bale came flying toward him and he had to dodge. Not sure I'd want to take my eye of that machine for a second if I'm on the trailer.

[@BRPFan]

That bale ejector sure would make stacking a hay rack a heck of a lot easier than hand picking them off the ground! You have to make hay when the sun is shining and dang was it hot up in the hip roofed barns hay loft! Oh the good old days growing up on a farm!! Hey Mike do you know what kind of solution they were spraying the hay with? Thanks for the video! 👍

[@farmhandmike]

They were not putting anything on the hay while I was here.

[@BRPFan]

@@farmhandmike I see! Just saw that liquid tank with some sort of solution behind the twine box, thought maybe they were adding something to the hay.

[@Jon-fc6fd]

​@@BRPFanthat would have been a liquid preserver that gets sprayed on when the moisture is marginal. That brand preserver enables healthy hay up to 25%

[@BRPFan]

@@Jon-fc6fd Likely much like the dry salt type stuff Dad made us sprinkle on every layer of hay bales to keep them from heating. We lived in a house/barn combination .

[@brushcrawler8612]

I've been noticing loose hay being trucked around in end dumpers....what is the use case for unbaled hay?

[@missflowerpower8724]

I saw one bale fly apart in mid-air! What happened?

[@benjaminlandis3680]

One of the knots did not tie. The bale came out of the bale thrower with only one string that was tied. That happens occasionally.

[@halfwayfarmsandoutdoors3550]

Baling hay on the internet is equivalent to welding on the internet.

[@StealthStrikers-r7i]

Hi Mike, my name is Roan. I'm a 34 year old South African seeking employment on farms in USA. I was wondering if you perhaps hire foreign workers under the H2A visa program? Any info would be much appreciated.
