Making Hay with Draft Horses/Tedding Hay and Raking Hay with Draft Horses/Square Baling 2022

[@terrynoland487]

Always love watching horses working thanks for sharing it with us

[@karencary3312]

Beautiful horse power.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Nice Tedder. Haven’t seen one in many many years

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

love that v-rake, never used one and never seen one like that pulled with horses, great job

[@trinitydairy]

It works really good! The only issue we have with the v rake, is in thick heavy hay, it's hard to make the windrow narrow enough for our square baler, because the rake will plug if it's narrowed up to much. If the pickup on our square baler was about a foot wider, it would be great. It's nice for the round baler though, because it's easier to fill the edges of the bale with the wider windrow.

What a show! Thanks for sharing.

[@geraldsundberg3610]

A NICE PAIR OF HORSES, THEY SEEM TO ENJOY THE WORK!

[@messengercreekexotics]

Thanks for sharing the horse drawn equipment. Always interesting to see the old equipment still working just as well as when new.

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

That's one well-oiled tedder, spinning like that even after stopping. Good combination of horses and tractor getting the hay work done. Since you haven't used the tedder that often yet, I bet your mare will settle down after more time.

[@ADSC2006]

So relaxing to watch some true Horse Power!

[@JamesDedmon]

That’s just neat to see the horses work. My grandfather used mules so I did get to see him work them. In fact he used a pony to oak his garden in later years

[@joemutter7661]

Those old rakes did a way better job than new ones

[@chrisalbright5669]

Then why did people buy newer ones?

[@fullers1966]

Didn't realize years ago they could Ted hey learn something watching this

[@drdulas5055]

We found back in the 60's when we tried tethering with our side rake we had so many tines break off. And we were careful to not have it to low to the ground. You can really see the tenseness in the mare. Thank you so much for this and all of your videos. I live down by Faribault and some day hope to meet your family.

[@woodsgremlin9995]

I was lucky to find an owners manual for it. It said to set the teeth higher than when you're raking. Another thing I found was the one rear wheel comes off so it doesn't run over the tedded hay.

[@allanulen3809]

That was great, really enjoyed watching the real horse power going to work.

[@rebelgaming7718]

Well damn alan you actually took my advice and decided todo a horse farming video nice man

[@doublejfarmshomestead4501]

This is great. I love those old rakes

[@ronniewayne5748]

Awesome.Thats one way to save on fuel using horses.when i see that i think of my paternal great grandpa and grandpa did that back in the olden days.

[@paultighe3735]

Love it awesome video way to go, I like that baler

[@keydanTheMan614]

Love the videos Alan were about to start Harvest

[@trinitydairy]

Hope you have a good and safe harvest!

@@trinitydairy Thanks Alan say hi to all the family for me please

[@davidmuise388]

Wow an awesome video loved it brings back a lot of memories for sure thank you for sharing take care god bless until next time …….

[@derekbosl2761]

Love the video and like what the horses to and what ur family does on the farm

[@french-canadianfarmer5049]

I have a Allis Chalmers pto driven rake with a gear box with the low, high and tedding mode. Your dad's seems to turn faster on the tedding mode. It's the best rake for pulling rained on hay out of the growing grass.

[@ralphriddle8864]

Love it and God bless yall

[@lesterhertel2945]

A very interesting video Thank you

[@scottkrieger4701]

Very cool 😎

[@johnalexander8589]

Damn great video

[@canadianHAWK3]

I love the video .😊

[@charlieboy9297]

Hi nice video

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Thanks for sharing...I enjoy seeing the beautiful landscape you have there. I've raked alot of hay with a new ideal and a John Dreere B. (That's a green tractor) lol. Hope that is a battery powered rake lift? Hate to see where you have to hook up the hydraulic hoses if it wasnt..wasn't... lol.. Nice the see to whole family working together...

[@trinitydairy]

Lol!

[@nicholasbrown7068]

An uncle of mine had three of these types of rakes, a John Deere, Massey Harris and a McCormick-Deering. Better hay rake vs today's modern rake.

[@tpfromcentralpa1692]

Could you edit that first part out? I don't want my supply of NI rakes to increase in price at sales! Most people do not know they ted.............I got one on steel that I love for that job, I wish I could find one on rubber as it is limited where I can use it. The ability to pitch the teeth is a great feature, not only for tedding, but rolling windrows as well. We pitch ours so it will lift the hay more when raking that you can't do with a newer side delivery rake. That might have had a seat on it for horses when it was new based by the lever locations on the rake, neighbors had one just like that built for tractor use and the levers for some things were moved up onto the tongue to reach from the seat. Mine on steel had a seat long since taken off and replaced with a short tractor tongue.

[@danaedwards5464]

cant blame the one horse for being nervous that tedder makes a lot of racket

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

That was fun watching the horses ted and rake the hay. Some nice looking hay. How many bales can you get in a basket?

[@trinitydairy]

I can get about 120 in a basket.

[@richardhawks4684]

Got a rear view in front and back😳😳😳😳😳😳😂😂🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@matthewklejeski6641]

Haven't seen Stub with a long mane since he was probably 5 years old

[@woodsgremlin9995]

I figured as long as the others had manes I would let his grow out. He looks good either way.

[@robbsmith1560]

Another great video thank you so much. Have you ever used those grain bins?

[@trinitydairy]

Yeah, we have used them quite a bit, in the past.

[@tonybunch543]

👌

[@johnalexander8589]

I have been bailing hay my whole life and never seen nothing like that baler chute

[@trinitydairy]

We used to stack on flat racks, but it's getting so hard to get help, I switched to these wagons.

[@colorado1088]

How many acres could a horse like this work in a day?

[@woodsgremlin9995]

When the horses are in good shape they can rake 20 acres in 3 hours.

[@ben4735]

Is that a battery operated hydraulic pump for lifting the rake up?

[@trinitydairy]

Yes

[@bobanmilosevic3897]

👍💪🙂COOOL

[@derrickzenner9300]

that baler can eat a lot

[@Chico-td2fy]

Part Amish 🐴🐄😉

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Very interesting that tedder-rake. It made remember my Grandfather on my Mom's side used to stack hay on the wagon with one of those loaders. (The kind where the hay gets "grabbed" up an incline) I really bought into that as a kid. I sometimes thought about how you open your videos with a "moo" that when it will be about Alan's father to open with a "whinny"?? Just a thought.

[@trinitydairy]

Almost all of the horse focused videos do open with a horse neighing.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

@@trinitydairy Sorry, I'd forgotten that.

[@homesteadingpastor]
