The youtube videos are lots better than tv show keep them coming

[@davidepool5884]

I love yours and Ivan’s channels. They are like a continuation of Alaska the last frontier. I think y’all have a piece of equipment for everything you need to do on your farm. If you done have what you need to do a job you build it. That takes a lot of skill. You and Ivan are great at building things. Some of the equipment you have may be old but they still have a lot of life left in them and they get the job done. They will last for many more years with regular maintenance.

[@emilasmith4279]

Oh I love watching you and Eivin troubleshoot and fix things!! Love the scenery. I’m sure those views never get old! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lisaharvey4373]

Glad to see you Kilchers again never missed your TV show great to be able to continue to watch you folks!

[@leepetersen4082]

the world needs to see how REAL PEOPLE handle life! Well done Kilchers!!!!

[@chuckw1021]

My Dad used to say," you can't eat scenery". I think you proved him wrong. Love your show guys.

[@darceycornwell194]

Between you & Ivan, I don't think theres much you can't fix!❤❤

[@karrigirl]

I got the grand pleasure of meeting all of you in Arlington,Tx with Jewel. She was sick, but was gracious to take a picture with all y’all and my sweet husband and I. The magnet your Dad made for Homemade Christmas has a permanent place on my refrigerator all these years later, thank you.

[@stevertherver3887]

You are a true Master Mechanic Otto. It's great to see how you and Ivan analyzed the problem and tried adjustments to solve the problem. Ivan has the same mindset and complements your skills!

[@posseeANNA]

Another adventure with Otto and Eivan (&August too)! Homegrown videos that show how by the power of observation, trials & errors and lifetime accumulation of experience equals real life scenarios and how to fix em. And yes, Otto, you have the most beautiful scenic backdrop for your hayfield.

[@johnm1898]

I think it is wonderful that you can still appreciate the views after all the years. Too many times we lose our appreciation for what we have. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy them.

[@chadcoffman1870]

Thank you for putting your stuff on KZbin I miss the show so much! I hope everyone from the show is well! Much love from the states.

[@timsutherland5089]

Boy that brings back memories. I spent many a summer helping haul hay this way. I worked for a man who had one so old it had its own motor on the baler. No pto shaft. Never knew what it would spit out. LOL

[@btrent9244]

Always interesting watching the Kilcher’s maintain complex machinery. Thanks guys 👍🇺🇸🚜.

[@carlapierle8623]

I love how Otto and Eivan are able to put their heads together and figure anything out! Your ingenuity never gets old. Definitely some absolutely beautiful scenery there!

[@penniswift]

I love that you guys work together in figuring out problems, laugh at the small thing in life, The beauty of Alaska is so breathtaking even from a hay field. Hug Charlotte! Absolutely love the content!

[@vickiehamilton6596]

Love these videos and seeing you all again.

[@leesnow343]

I remember the episode when you boys built the hay picker upper ! It was a brilliant build❤

[@franceswatts4001]

I was reminded of that episode too!

[@Mike-hu1gq]

Best one yet. Great chemistry between Otto and Eivin. Thanks for the knowledge, the humor and the scenery. Great channel!

[@JohnVanRuiten]

Oh man, I forgot how much I missed you Otto, and your son Ivan! You guy's were the only reason I used to watch that show. I don't watch TV anymore.

[@sharonwalker2498]

Hey Otto, I really enjoyed watching that. At 78 years old now, and a female, I remember back when I was 20 and working on the farm in Fallon Nevada. We were billing one afternoon and quit for the night. The next morning, I went out early and forgot to release the tensionon the Baylor and I bailed up for bales that weighed over 250 pounds, lol. It took four of us with hooks on each corner to put it on the flatbed trailer. You can be sure I never forgot to check attention before I bailed again.

[@sharonwalker2498]

Sorry about all the misspelling. I was voice texting and forgot to look at it before I hit the send button.

[@wulliewhyte544]

Loved this one Otto a wee tip for your knotter leave the last bale inside the baler over winter it saves loosing the knots my uncle always did that

[@user-tg6cj6cu9d]

Hi Otto. I wish I could spend the rest of my days having that kind of scenery around me. I’m 70 now and not a healthy 70. But I didn’t plan well so I’ll eat up any scenery you 🎉 show us. I’m watching on a cell phone but still beautiful thank you so much for what you and your son do.

[@bigbill709]

Thanks for sharing your life with us Otto .

[@clifc6351]

Thanks for showing us "crunch time" above the lower 48. I enjoy seeing August and Eivin's involvement all over the homestead as well; skills galore! I understand now, You have to pressurize the brake hydraulics the lock it in with the lever. Like a mail truck. Days are getting shorter up there lots to do! Thank You for posting your day.

[@AmericanPatriot1979]

I miss Alaska The Last Frontier and never have understood why it ever stopped making new episodes. It was my absolute favorite show. I even went back and watched every episode from beginning to end. This is good to see again, loved watching you two work together.

[@Rindarko]

Great video. Even learned a thing or two. That’s what I like most about the Kilcher channels. They’re entertaining , yet informative. Not to mention the great scenery. Your videos are much appreciated.

[@posseeANNA]

And they are humorous too!

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Otto is the common sense guy😊

[@user-ze1gt2vg7j]

Not everyone is lucky enough to work in an office that beautiful!! What a view!!

[@JamesWatt-g9x]

So glad you guys are doing you tube videos, love the adventures you all create . Keep up the good work and stay strong 💪

[@BettyKoehler-zg5sv]

Boy, that baler is one serious dangerous looking piece of equipment. It’s amazing, tho, that it can tie the bale before spitting it out! Otto is Macgiver Extraordinaire! There is nothing he can’t fix!!That picker upper is cool, too!! Nice job, Ivan! I can see where it could be a long hard hot day!! Yes, Otto, what a view!!! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻

[@paulaartandmusic4412]

Otto, you are a genius! I love watching you create all kinds of machines! You are fascinating!!! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. I love you and Charlotte and family.💕🙏🏼

[@charlesking617]

The hay grappler is way cool! According to Wikipedia the square baler was invented in 1872 by Cyrus McCormick. Otto and Eivan just gave a lesson on how a square baler works! Interesting stuff. I saw a generational transfer of “tweaking knowledge” too. Square bales are great in feeding horses when you can break off the sections of the bale for individual horse feeding.Love the content- from a man Otto’s age.

[@sshultz8121]

I am fascinated with your problem-solving skills with all the strange equipment!

[@NgNg-p5c]

What an extraordinary view!

[@davidbingham7404]

Otto and Ivan great video. Thanks for sharing in the farm work, brings back the times I worked on the farm, putting the hay up before winter came. David B.,Utah. 🚜🚜👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲❤❤❤.

[@rccollins8160]

Otto, your constipation explanation is absolutely priceless…

[@alysiachristensen5475]

Yes Otto! A glorious day for sure!!! It amazes me the wisdom and determination and knowledge you guys possess and the kindness towards others!!! You guys are the absolute real deal!!! I wish I knew you guys!!!

[@robertfarnell8770]

All the best on hay making time from Halifax England 🇬🇧

[@rogero9633]

I loved the video and the farm work that was done. It makes me remember my younger days when I would drive the tractor and help load the hay bales. We had a bale loader that was like an elevator. It was hitched to the side of the trailer, and I would drive the tractor along the line of finished hay bales. I would align the elevator with the bales like a slalom contest depending on the angle of the bales which was a little tricky at times, but fun too. I was only 11 at the time and I was driving a very old John Deere Tractor. Oh, what memories. I guess your fix to that rod from the baler worked, but you didn't spend much time being excited about it. I wasn't sure how it fixed the problem with tying the knots on the bales. And that device that Ivan built (which I saw in the original series) is just terrific as a loader. Which brings me to the closing point - Otto, your land and scenery are just fantastic.

[@darrylsamuel7208]

It’s great that you’re here and I can continue to watch your amazing lifestyle… Another network should pick up the show. I follow Eiven’s channel as well. #teamotto ✔️💯✔️

[@kellyscagliotti6572]

Thank you so much for showing what you do and explaining it. For those of us city folk, we just love your channel!

[@beckypennington79]

Thank you so much I love watching you as father and son and Ivan with his wife and children it just makes everything full circle thank you so much and so beautiful

[@lindahollister5530]

Hello father and son. Nice to see you together again 🎉🎉🎉.

[@johnpartridge7623]

Mother Nature made a stunning Landscape, great Video

[@jonnelson3705]

Mechanic farmer from ND to mechanic farmer in AK, playing Monday morning QB I know, an airplane style safety wire through the nut or better still use a roll pin inserted into the thru hole drilled into nut and bolt on broken baler pipe. Scissor lift on your truck is genius. Trip rope was better than the bale conveyor Dad n uncle replaced it with. Beer never tasted better at the end of them days. Glad to see your people are healthy and flourishing.

[@WoodWizardrybyColin]

Fantastic video we love all of them we were avid fans of the last frontier so glad you and Eivin are continuing Thank you from the UK

[@arnoldgonzalez7377]

I used to have the same baler, greetings from deep south Texas.

[@bobogilvie4472]

Beautiful view and enjoy all your videos. Keep on going

[@cherylramey6188]

Glad to see Otto is doing good

[@cold_spring_ranch]

We have the same bailer. We need new needles keep busting shear pins. So this last cut we used our new idea soft core round bailer. Such a awesome bailer. Even better not netting. We use 9600 twine for our square bailer. If your needles are warm down they won't knot properly. Wish we were neighbors. My husband would totally brainstorm

[@clawhammerinc]

i think the machines are a real winner back in 60s we didnt have nothing but a rake by hand lol now looks awsome to do, thanks otto

[@neutonrenda2303]

You can see why you have been so successful out there. You have to be a jack of all trades and hard working. It's fascinating to try to work out how that bailer works. The pick er up thing a ma jig that your sons build is also a great time saver. Love watching.👍❤️

[@marthawalton8370]

I am so glad to see y’all again!! Thank you!!

[@pammaddox4947]

I have Loved getting glimpses of the Scenery as you worked.

[@sandeepettit696]

I have watched you for years, and I love you all so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SpatialDragon]

I wasn't sure the airport lift would do the job, but it did. Reading the instructions on new equipment can help. I love that you still use the old equipment you can and do fix yourselves. The new stuff is great until it breaks and half of it there is no repair for it.

[@debbienorton3855]

Just found your channel!!! Yay!!!! We have missed you and we are glad you have videos to watch. We watched every show of Last Frontier and so love to see you this way. Look forward to more content like this.

[@katherinebragg9166]

i like that little hay buncher tool, that's pretty slick. I was the hay buncher and followed our baler. we had one just like yours. Always stuff wrong. you're right about the twine. I thought that'd be the trick for ya!!! Love watching the farming. I miss it.

[@debbiemiller7342]

That was sure cool to watch! Thanks

[@susansomersjohnson8748]

I miss Alaska so much, can’t wait to return to Homer and the homestead!

[@toadtodd3758]

Love watching yall god bless yall

[@ringerson4x4]

That bale collector/loader is awesome!

[@BradleyDeanStage]

Always enjoy the new daily adventures.

[@tuckerdale-g4u]

I love it. Got to be watching from now on.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Jen_Manders]

Eivin and Otto have their own little language. I love it.

[@manuelramos8189]

God blesed 🙏 You and You re family Hello from new York

[@davidasimkosr4641]

You fixed it , when one has a working farm you will learn to repair your own equipment! Great job fellas.....

[@aaltmaier81]

The bale pickup is back!!!❤

[@suewilkinsonmorrobayca6590]

Thanks for sharing❤

[@bunnyhop1784]

My God you people are wonderful. Love watching you do your thing. Hugs and love, Janet 🍁🍂🌻🚑

[@stormmountain2521]

boy does this bring back memories, I wish I had a dollar for every hour I had to work on our old new Holland. One good thing I still have all my fingers hurray

[@jerricksmith9892]

That was a great view love seeing the snow on the mountains

[@DarrylSparlin]

Enjoyed watching you figure out and make the baler work. You remind me of an elderly friend I used to work with many years ago. He was a cattle farmer and he baled lots of hay in square bales. Then along came the round bales. They make it a lot easier if you have the proper equipment. I will be watching future content. Until next time stay safe.

[@dfuss2756]

I grew up with those machines. They were cantankerous. Then they would bring out the tractor with a trailer and we would throw the bales on the trailer. I grew up with monster muscles as a girl.

[@SwampMarshal]

I really enjoyed the demonstration of the hay baler.

[@stefanlilja9318]

Hi Otto! I am so happy to have found you on youtube Otto and Eivin with family. I have followed you since your first season on Discovery, watched all 11 seasons that were shown in Sweden. Missed you ❤️❤️

[@Derf1313]

If I remember right, those knotters are the same basic design from the original patent, in the late 1800's. Very nice build on that bale loader, & great use for that airline truck, sure better than some of the conveyors I've been around, lol!

[@patrickb5656]

That bale grabber is genius!

[@jujube6650]

Thanks for another great video! Very interesting how all that equipment works! Eivin has a great horror movie idea for the farm equipment… I’ve always been a little freaked out by a wood chipper.

[@Truman-smom]

Bad waaays to Die....song played in my head while Eivan and Otto are talking about the pitch fork breaking off into the bailer

[@markm.9590]

Happy to see you guys are doing OK ! Miss your TV show !

[@peterlauter3505]

hey Otto the last scene was beautiful. Back in 16 my sis and I stayed in the barn for a week. Was really awesome. I have to share this. One morning while using the outhouse I’m sitting there with the door shut pondering the beauty of Alaska and decided to kick the door open to enjoy that exact view. Best view ever while doing my business.😂

[@rickharper6320]

Best looking hay field anywhere !!! I was wondering if one could ever get used to having mountains like that to see every day ….. New Hollands are good balers, knitters are always a bit finicky until they get polished up. I just wish we had a bale stacker like that when I was growing up. Very cool !!!

[@Outdoorswithmike]

So cool to watch you guys work on the farm.

[@buckzillakiller]

Thank you for sharing. I may never get to see Alaska what beautiful state. Be safe!

[@bernicehoggsfav]

I'm so happy I found this channel!

[@trevorpalmer1891]

Nice Work, farmers do it right!

[@tinareddick]

Love the view

[@JustanOldfart01]

This brings back so many memories. First field of the season was always tweak here, tighten there. Us boys threw all the bales. Probably why both of us ended up getting back surgery when we got older. I remember the back surgeon asking " Omg what happened to your back?" My reply was growing up working on the farm.

[@rccollins8160]

you two are amazing. Keep posting I’ll keep watching..

[@reneenewfrock5743]

Happened upon this video and was so happy to watch. We haven't had TV since we culture cancelled them in November 2019!

[@valeaton4538]

I remember when Eivin and August built that Bailey for you. I thought it was so cool that they could make a piece of machinery like that. My Uncle had a farm and we used to pick up bails and then they were put in the barn loft. Thank you for the video Otto.

[@nikkibradshaw3144]

Love both you & elvins channel you got this nikki from the UK 🇬🇧. X.

[@SpaceForce2019]

Great video Otto. Thank you

[@noquarterzz9788]

The tv show was awesome! Loved every minute. But this is even better. You guys should add some drone footage in.

[@jamesboris1233]

It's good to see it on KZbin

[@maniachill3069]

I want to see your WAYS TO DIE ON A FARM series! Hahaha

[@disableddeerhunter180]

Thanks for sharing guys! Blessings!!!

[@RobertKostroun]

Always an adventure you’ll have all the fun toys

[@KarenSmith-ys3sk]

Wow when I was on the farm us kids had to pickup the bales and throw them up on the flat bed,so much work,I love the procedure yall use,nice,less work. We did have a machine that pushed out 3 string bales and the round ones. Gotta make the tools work for yall! Love the surroundings at the end,Otto,great video,thanks for sharing it to us, the viewer!😊
