Problems Come in Threes? Let's Hope So: More Hay Field Challenges

Kim and family deal with more trouble. It's said that problems come in threes. Let's hope that we got our issues out of the way for now. We are back to work. Thanks for your patience with our technical difficulties. Problem resolved.

[@petejones9788]

You people are what makes America so great. Nothing more important than a family farm no matter if you make hay or raise beef, pigs, chickens ect. Y’all are helping feed America love your videos.

[@gerry6420]

Super job guys. All these problems happen the best of us. Part of the fun of farming. Well handled. Scott would be super proud. Keep up the great work

[@treyatnorthtexashay4603]

Thank you

[@ajmac5735]

I wish you all the luck with this season. You’re bouncing back and I’m sure he’s proud of you guys. Great family values and work ethic. 👏

[@timmattison6553]

Great job guys&girls. That video made Scott proud. All those years that you watched Scott are paying off now. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next 1

[@treyatnorthtexashay4603]

Thanks you!

[@TheNemosdaddy]

Really awesome job. I know this hasn't been easy, but I'm sure Scott would be proud.

[@jerrysalgat3406]

Great job!!! Problems always happen. I get worried when things are going good. Keep up the good work! Will be watching. Jerry

[@thr8061]

Good job! It is amazing how much a person picks up / learns just watching. God Bless.

[@dananelson479]

Good job guys, appreciate how you roll with the punches. Thanks for sharing.

[@cntslesfabrication]

You and the family are doing a great job Kim keep up the good work.

[@treyatnorthtexashay4603]

She's doing an awesome job! She's the Boss Lady.

[@kennymysak2079]

Great to see all family members helping out and willing to listen and learn how to help out she is doing a great job. You guys are doing a great job keep up the great videos

[@WTFarmGirl]

Oh man, what a major ordeal! Rain is normal, but broken water line and blown tire are tough to handle! Glad you stayed calm and did your best to handle it!

[@treyatnorthtexashay4603]

It can be a beat down for sure! Sadly, I'm always at work when the "you-know-what" hits the fan but they took it in stride that day and owned it!

[@WTFarmGirl]

@@treyatnorthtexashay4603 oh dang, I didn't know you worked too! That's a tough load to juggle everything :(

[@laughinghay1090]

It does a heart good to see a family come together and pick things right back up. You guys are going to be just fine.

[@treyatnorthtexashay4603]

Thank you

[@sixosixo]

This is really great to see. You all are keeping the dream alive. Congrats to each of you on moving forward. Best of luck in everything you do. Take care.

[@treyatnorthtexashay4603]

Thank you

[@chuckstevenson2929]

Great job Kim and family addressing those three issues. My late Italian Mom, Rita Rose Badaracco, who lived to be 95 used to say "If it ain't ants, its roaches"

[@treyatnorthtexashay4603]

Wise woman!

[@arthurbuckyelksjr7918]

Y'all did a good job handling all them problems. Glad to see all are helping and i bet she was smiling like a mule eating briars when she got off the tractor. Have a great day and be safe

[@timsherman2164]

Great video!! You folks are a great team!! Keep up with the videos!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@antonyfarming]

Looking good the hay drying shame about water leak glad to get that fix keep up the good work 😀 👍

[@oldredcoonhound2182]

Nobody can look as good as you in a tractor😉. Somedays, some weeks, just dont go the way a person wants them to. Things will turn around. Thanks for posting.

[@larrypate2683]

Great job enjoy the videos you all will make it stay positive

[@jrbpa5775]

Doing a great job handling the issues that come at you. Extra operator will really help when it comes to baling and getting good hay in the barn. You boys ought to thank your Mom for paying attention when Dad was fixing things. Priceless!!! Great video!!

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Looking good! Happy to see yall trucking along with the business. Keep up the great work! Also, deoendin on the field, i would prop my feet up on the loader. Usually takes 3-4 outside passes before its all quick and easy fluid motions where my feet dont have to sit on the pedals or even touch them.

[@kenrichardson4144]

You guys are doing great! Keep your spirits up and this is a great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍

[@MOzarkMike]

It takes maybe 6000 lbs of hay to turn one baby calf into an 800 lb market ready beef. (Remember, it’s momma is eating a lot even when the calf is nursing). How many people appreciate the value hay growers bring to our tables? I do! Thank you and Godspeed!

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Fun...fun...😎 You know we wouldn't have it any other way..... I sit in the tractor however I want. The Harmless Farmer (Andy Detwiler) sits kinda like you do, but he steers and runs the controls with his feet. (If you haven't seen his videos, look him up! He's a great guy with an awesome channel!!! Tell him I sent you 😉) Tedding or raking with water coming off the tires... Ya, not good!!! We don't have water meters, just beavers ... They can flood a field in a couple of hours!! I like your Tedder!! Ours is only a 4 basket, manual fold (put my back out the other day unfolding it😢) You all know what to do, you will be just fine!!! Keep making the videos!!!!

[@augustreil]

Great video and nice fix on the water line ! Thumbs up always.

[@johnmittsy695]

He’d be so proud of his family coming together and solving problems as a team. I lost my dad 8 years ago at 58, and have had to take care of my family and farm since then. Even broke my back at work we keep trucking on, life doesn’t throw anything at you that you can’t handle. Everything is a test/learning experience, to grow as a team!

[@caraatnorthtexashay3043]

I so hope that he would be proud of us. I am sorry for the loss of your dad. It sounds like you had very similar circumstances to ours. We are definitely learning a ton and growing closer as a family through this whole experience!

[@bryancovert9821]

After 2 years Kim , how is North Texas Hay doing , and more important how are you doing Kim ? I know how hard it is to try to got past loosing someone that you love so much , and who loved you equally as well . They say that time heals all wounds , I say time sucks at healing wounds . Good friends and family who love you and have you in their hearts , thats what heals wounds . Your an attractive woman , thats motivated to go on with life , and its trials and tribulations . Good luck to you and yours in future endeavors .

[@racer7954]

Love your videos. So great to see you getting along and making a go of it!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tarefoot]

Hope you can get an adjustment on your water bill. Love to see how you all have come together and handling your issues with a smile.

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Awesome, love to see everyone pitching in and stepping outside your comfort zones. Keep going! Awesome job.

[@greenhorn223]

Great job your whole family is doing an awesome job. Scott would be so proud of the boys and you for doing the haying business and continuing his dream! Keeps those great videos coming. See you sooner than later!

[@4gauge10]

Nice fix on the water problem,the tire problem is a easy fix too,it takes some muscle to pull that tire off the rim in the field,but it's not as bad as you would think,it's hard when it's 95 degrees in the shade though and I fully understand that.

[@scootinthru]

Looks like once that little bit of rain passed through your area you guys hit the jackpot with the weather - perfect haymaking conditions! Great job on the water line repair - looks like Scott was a good teacher & Kim was a good student! Hopefully the front tire on the NH can be repaired as opposed having to replace it. I also hope your guy can figure out why the NH Haybine keeps breaking the drive belt - could be an alignment issue. You guys are all doing a fantastic job - it's inspiring to see how everyone is working to learn & contribute! I'm looking forward to seeing what that beautiful Bermuda grass hay looks like once it gets baled up.

[@Tbear7000]

Scott was so handy at fixing anything, from welding, mechanic, irrigating repairs to farming and making hay. But he did not learn it over night and y'all will do great and will get better as each problem arises.. Yes Scott would be so proud of y'all, so try to carry on his smile and gentle laughter. Will be looking forward to the next video..

[@treyatnorthtexashay4603]

I don't know of a problem he wasn't able to fix! I can only hope to be half as resourceful as he was.

[@bigdave4863]

Awesome job!!! The hay looks great . . . . I like the idea of you watching and learning from the mechanic . . . . It has to be hard with Scott gone but in reality he's with y'all every step of the way. Peace.

[@ontheedgewithreg238]

Great Job Everyone love them shinny blue New Holland tractors you have I Farm with my Dad in Canada love watching other farm videos you guys are in the top five keep it up.

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

As a father and husband of a farm family I can say for a fact that Scott would be happily amazed at how well you are doing in his stead.Great job family!Chuck

[@purplerunner1715]

Awesome teamwork there everyone, fingers crossed the weather is gonna behave so the small bumps in the road don't matter that much.

[@Abritinluzon]

You are doing great as always there are problems when you are farming but you and your family are coping great I sure that you will get your first cut in great order god bless you all

[@QRoutback]

Well done Kim and Family fixing things as they come along , you had a good teacher in Scott , and a new tractor drive , go girl !!! Cheers from down under Glynn

[@cntslesfabrication]

All the water leaked out of the pipes so it took a while to get it filled back up. If you turn on the a sink or shower the air would have worked out of the water system.

[@mattclark8436]

Sorry you had problems, but that's farm life and you are tackling them as they come up. It is really great to see your new daughter-in-law stepping up and learning the business. She is definitely a keeper! God bless and take care.

[@bumpadoesthings]

Keep up the good work folks. Back on the Kubota tomorrow morning myself. May do some planting by hand early before the black flies hit

[@borochel]

Great job the whole family stepping up to make it work.

You have a good strong will and your going to make it you got the spirit My grandmother was a widow before mom was born almost a month to the day her dad died and she raised for kids ran a farm and took care of her mom when she got bad

[@truckdriver8637]

When the problems came up you went at them head-on and handled them very well, great job!

We do our best!

[@peterhoufe9421]

Hi folks , problems problems, on the brighter side you sure look to be making some good hay , it's nice to see you and the family pulling together. Take care stay safe Pete

[@rednecksareeveryware]

Great job. Looking good. I've done allot of tettering. You might want to try dropping the tractor down a gear, (or maybe two) and bringing the rpms up. Then the tetter will throw the hay up further to turn it over more. Maybe it's just the way the video is making it look but to me it looked like tractor and tetter ground speed was a little to fast and the speed of the tetter was having a hard time keeping up with the amount of hay it was picking up. To me it looked like it was dragging the hay a little before picking it up and turning it. That's just my opinion. It's great to see the young ones helping.

[@2009deerejohn]

I did excavation most of my life and played farm hand in my free time and I don’t think one day ever went by where there wasn’t some issue that popped up, I think navigating those issues as they come up taught me more then anything:) Great job guy’s, keep up the hard work

[@treyatnorthtexashay4603]

Thanks! Hopefully the problems slow down for a little bit, haha

[@rickywhite1869]

Great job the hay is looking Awsome

[@memyselfandifarmer]

I get to give you two thumbs up 👍 today. Hate to see the water bill😂. Thanks for posting crew.

[@mouscj3]

A Great Video... You and the kids certainly look like you are tackling all the farm jobs very well... Unfortunately my legs are not near as limber as yours are so sitting like you did isn't an option for me... Just like in LIFE....You gotta take every problem head on and i see you doing an Amazing job with everything... Hope your tire replacement goes good along with gitin the new belts installed on the Cutter... Hopefully when the mechanic gives it a good looking over so it will be ready to work a long time for you with no major problems... Look forward to more Great Videos... Take care and... Thanx for sharing...

[@paulc8581]

Hey "Are you recording, are you sure" love seeing women driving the tractors . Way to go glad you got it fixed

[@manaftergodsown777]

Interesting to see you even though its dry red it again. Most of the farmers I watch dont worry about the little bit of green in it.

[@jilescochran3912]

Love it yaw coming together as a family and getting it done problem solving to. way to go look forwards to more .

[@joesanders652]

Bless you, large water bill coming. Been there. Good job guys hang in there

[@newhampshire-bob1604]

Great job guys! Hang in there!

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Love the proud moment!!!!! I grew up on the farm, I was raking when I was 5, baling by the time I was 9 or 10, got our first balewagon when I was 12, no one had a clue how to run it, so.... Yup, that was my job... When I got married and bought a house, it was in a town of 500... 21 miles from the farm, so my kids (two girls) didn't grow up every day on the farm.... They have had a lot of learning to do!!! They are 19 and 21 now, both have run most of the hay equipment, all the manure handling equipment, about the only equipment they haven't run, is planting equipment... They both move the smaller stuff on the road, but not the wide equipment, but..... They will, some day 😎 You lost your husband, your kids lost their dad... It sucks!! But...... He's still there, he's watching your struggles, he's helping you figure things out... he's proud of you all!!!! How do I know??? Well, it's been almost a year since we lost my dad... My job has expanded tremendously!! My kids have taken on the extra responsibilities that have shifted to them. In some ways, dad's passing has revitalized our operation, still hectic, but we are still here, making improvements and doing the best anyone can!!!

[@loaderman5732]

Yall hammer down 👍 that hay looked pritty damn good to

[@mwh2003]

Great Job!!! Scott would be super proud of you, the boys and Ole' Red :) Keep those awesome videos coming. BTW the whole sitting in the tractor like this question I laughed entirely too hard.

[@treyatnorthtexashay4603]

Ol' Red is definitely earning her keep!

[@ihus9950]

Hello Kim, farming is never easy always something breaking down, even new equipment. But you know all about that, been there done that rite. Keep up the good work, ready to see you guys Bailing 👍

[@lewisshook4348]

Awesome job !!

[@rocksandoil2241]

"It's gonna be OK"...I hope for you all that is true, and I find myself tearing up because I know this is difficult for you. My 5' tall friend who lost her husband 2 years ago, uses an old pop crate to set in the tractor floor for her feet.."Little Red" is like a boss. She's got this.

[@caraatnorthtexashay3043]

Thank you for your sweet comment. I am learning so much every day we are out in the fields trying to contribute as much as I can!

[@genechronister7085]

Great vid! Hang in there!

[@tlh001]

You had mentioned that you were having repeated problems blowing belts on the cutter. I don’t have experience with your equipment, but I have extensive experience with drive belts on snowmobiles. On sleds the biggest cause for belt failure is heat. Heat comes from friction. Friction comes from the belt and what ever it contacts (e.g., sheeves, pulleys, other parts) moving at different speeds. So if a belt is slipping, the belt is moving at a different speed than the pulley which will cause friction. Another source of friction is a rough or uneven surface in contact with the belt. So if the pulley is scored or has uneven wear that can cause friction. Lastly, look for alignment issues. If pulleys are misaligned that will shred a belt in no time. If properly designed and maintained, a belt should run for hundreds of hours. Keep good records on belt maintenance and life so you know when things are out of whack. Good luck and keep us posted.

[@timhill473]

Well you ever get some slack time cutting hay you could always start your own plumbing business... lol Great job yall

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

I have a thought; open the discharge end of your mowers so you are laying the grass as flat on the ground as possible. Thought on New Holland mower; the belts power the conditioner, if so, there was to heavy of a stand to run through the machine at "normal" ground speed; just go slower so the conditioner can handle the heavy stand. Just a thought, let me know the answer, please.

[@1995jug]

You guys doing great keep it up going to be alright.

[@canvids1]

wow problems problems but it is great to see that you have help and you will get through it. ps my late wife was 5ft1 and she could sit like you also she could sit with all her toes bent backwards like a hand knuckle flat on the floor LOL
