Awesome video! I watched the whole thing, from beginning, to end, and was glued to the whole process of how each type of machinery did their jobs, the best people knew how to make them work. Nowadays, they have these robotic machines, doing a lot of this work, but as dangerous as it was, it sure looked like a lot of fun to put in such hard work, knowing what one had accomplished. I could imagine, on one of those older machines, where the guy had to sit on the outside edge, there were bales the machine would come a little too close to, that might knock someone off their SEAT!! Dangerous, indeed, I am sure...for many reasons. I have so much respect for these farming processes, and one day hope to go back to my roots, and have a part in something like this. I'm tired of living in the city. ;) Thank you for posting this!! HAPPY SPRING!!

fantastic video. Where did you get all of this footage? This is a treasure, it brought tears to my eyes, thinking about my dad and my brother making hay together. My neighbors and I are going to make hay the old way this summer for their horses, just for fun, yup, I said fun. But, my brother says we can have all the fun for ourselves.

Katherine, my grandfather and father took many of the pictures over the years. It is indeed a treasure.

Limington, Warwickshire during the 1950's. There was a farmer balling hay in one of his fiends and the baler jammed so he got off the tracker and kicked the org to set it turning again but his foot got caught as it began to turn and was dragged screaming into that bale. For many years that baler was left in the field as never used again.. Farm masonry can kill if not treated with respect.

y the switch from wet chopping to dry baling?

I think it had to do with being able to store more, store some of it outside, and the fear of barn fires. But, that is just me putting some of my research together.
