Raking and Baling Dry Hay!

[@ThomasHarrier]

That is farming! Bless you farmers for everything!

[@jonathangood5217]

I love seeing the New Holland small square baler at work. My great-great-uncle, Eddie Nolt, invented the self-tieing knotter. John Deere rejected his invention so he worked with a small, almost failing, local farm machinery company in New Holland Pennsylvania. Their small square baler with the Nolt knotter turned the company around and made it a major player in the farm equipment market for years to come.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

And everyone still uses the same knotter! Amazing story, and I know that you appreciate your uncle's contributions to Ag! 👍👍

[@teresadroessler9872]

We love our new Holland round and square balers thanks for sharing this history

[@BobLee-o6j]

Lots of fond memories for me having done the same exact work in Wisconsin in the 60's. Red tractors and New Holland rakes and bailers. Unloading and piling bales for winter feed. Nice to see your whole family involved to help with the work.

[@thomastodd9541]

Cool to see the family working together

[@paulreis1648]

Nice hay folks great to see mom too

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Always nice to see the family working together. 👍👍💪🗽✌️

[@SteveVidra]

Your pups run all day ... wish I had their energy !!!

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Me and you both 😊

[@clinthochrein888]

I’m partial to Oliver tractors an ih tractors, just to name a few. My dad did check the bailer every time pulling out of the shed oiled the chains grease , test run makes sure it was in good order. Had a Massey Furguson 127 bale thrower hooked to Massey Furguson 285 w/cab , use to have an Oliver 1355 diesel up until 1990 when I burnt up . Than dad got a 1991 case international 595 w/ rops system I loved driving that tractor. Great seeing the family work together.

[@ThomasDrehfal]

Even saw Mom out there moving hay. Rebuild the motor on the Oliver unless you can find a really good deal out there. We have made many, many thousands of square bales over the years. This was always satisfying work.

[@dennislang4375]

Stacking hay that does not tip over, an ART in itself.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Tie stacking! Pretty simple, but not intuitive.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Tie stacking! Pretty simple, but not intuitive.

[@DonWelter]

You're going to have quite a stack of bales by the time you get done. The baler seems to be performing well. We transitioned to 4x5 round bales about 17 years ago when the boys weren't available on a regular basis. Now my youngest son does the baling and I move the bales to the barn, or in a line off the field.

[@RichardMartin-j6r]

Ty so much for these videos. My wife and I love them

[@raincoast9010]

The bale catapult is a real work saver!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

The NH belt thrower is sweet to stack behind. It gives you some warning that a bale is coming to you! 👍

[@suecrothers9041]

Some nice looking hay!

[@pdrphil8159]

I dont miss those day on the farm... I am alergic to grass so I had to wear long sleeves , ect... I still looked like I sorted wild cats at the end of the day

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

God Bless you, and you kept doing it! 👍

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

Those old rakes are almost indestructible.

[@chargermopar]

Moving bales by hand is something I have not seen in person in a very long time!

[@HolgerMueller-un6ji]

Nice looking hay and good yield . A lot of work for a bale of hay . The doggie is the hardest “ working “ creature on the farm 😊

[@randybennett5417]

I still think those rakes, are still the best.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Enjoyed this. Nice to see the whole family out there. That is certainly work and makes the gym look bad, in my opinion.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

No gym can give you the workout that small (now) bales of hay can give you! You use every muscle in your body either unloading or stacking them. I think I had my eyelashes cramp up once, stacking hay! 😂😂😂

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

@@MorganOtt-ne1qj I believe it. Wish I had had that strength when I was young.

[@Blackwellll3066]

Great video for sure

[@harveypenner2386]

great job!

[@JamesDedmon]

I understand your question on the Oliver, however with the cost of newer tractors it might make sense, especially a diesel repower.

[@jacinthelabrie6844]

Lovely day ,,,,Darrell

[@mikeburgan7675]

Nice!

[@stanhensley3082]

The ground is so wet!! That makes it harder to get hay dry. Been there done that. We need more sun to dry the ground up.Great video. Thanks 😊

[@tomconway8061]

Love the Ollie

[@farmcentralohio]

We have a small hay field that has been hay for well over 40 years and it produces just as good now as it ever has. Hasn't had anything but fertilizer once in awhile

[@dennislang4375]

Huge windrows, huge yield.

[@davepatti2296]

I may be wrong but is the carb on the Oliver an updraft? if it's a normal downdraft carb (like a car) I can see gas dripping down. I take your word for it though if you see gas in the oil. Another commenter mentioned swapping in another type of engine. Or maybe you can find a rebuilt motor or block. I hear ya everything on that tractor is still good, worth pursuing a new engine. It does a lot of useful work, worth keeping.

[@gregsasser2640]

I love your farm it is just amazing how beautiful it is. I have 490 acres in south eastern North Carolina. Pine trees and hardwood mixed with cypress swamp 175 acres of farm land. I think it is beautiful too but very different from what you have.

[@JackMcMannes]

I know you have cowbells on some of your cows so I have a joke for you it should make you smile why do cows wear cowbells because their horns don't work

[@MolinaAcres]

Simple but funny .. good one👍🏼

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Oldie but goodie! 👍👍

[@mikenorgren-sz6cq]

A lot of work with them bales we used to do 40k a year riding the rake behind baler I bet in the future you will have a big square baler here in minnesota it seems can get a decent one for 12k to 16k the 7810 would handle it good

[@jameschapman6908]

You should get the M out! Would be nice to see you use it.

[@grantmagnuson4883]

55 years ago when I was growing up, we had a neighbor with her new Holland bell thrower, and he made 2 foot bales, 2 feet long, he said why make them three for 28 charger to work with him, and I agreed, we had a bill through her and made it to Foot bills too, 2 feet long

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video, one thing i learnt is you cant go fast with a nh bar rake makes a mess and looks like crap , slower doesnt throw it , makes a even windrow

[@AlOlson-b6w]

Just a comment on the Oliver, was wondering if gas getting in the crankcase through an issue with the fuel pump allowing gas to leak past a seal

[@joelwindsor525]

Rebuild the engine it's a lot cheaper than a new tractor just make sure you put a clutch in it while it's apart

[@virginiagraber9070]

Hay hands 👐👐👐 🤗🤗🤗 Thanks! ( Digger (

[@rwb409]

I miss haying but at the same time I don't lol from the age of 8 to 22 that's how all my summers were spent, after that it was whenever I was available , life got in the way, now the family farm is gone and the family is scattered all over the place, many with new families and in laws.

[@JohnGarman-q1f]

Why don’t you use the m’s to rake?

[@CEng-ge6sw]

Check the float-valve inside the carburettor. If it doesn't shut-off gas gets into the cylinders.

[@jeffandjanebelstra182]

We are in SW Wisconsin how long has your hay been cut and what did you cut it with. Wondered if it conditions better than our 935 JD imeller. We just put up our pasture grass.

[@PaulWilcox-n2p]

I had a 256 and 258 went to a wheel rake and never went back alot easier on the hay alot less leaf lost

[@peterjames2004]

grandfather frost would never make hay till the heads bowed so when you started making it the seeds would fall out and replant the swath

[@JimHerman-o3q]

I call them rakes " leaf beaters " !

[@jeffandjanebelstra182]

Didnt notice at first had you tedded that field

[@troyscheller5752]

Where was the coolant leaking to on the oliver? I musta missed that episode

[@farmcentralohio]

Are there ever pucker moments with the tri-cycle front ends or are you guys just use to it? Rebuild that Oliver, would make a great video series. When you get old and need a new part wouldn't you take care of it? Old tractors deserve the same :)

[@prariewindsfarm]

Just a thought that others may have had already. Is that carburetor float getting stuck open or does it have a leak in the float? I had a tractor once that dumped gas into the crank case because of a bad float.

[@bryankeator8396]

I don't know why you guys don't atleast double them up. We do a lot of hay for gorse people. Some of the pickest people around. Have a speed v rake. 3 mower passes in one row for 575 baler. Eats it well. Just alot of trips around with the baler and wagons. Have a good one guys

[@markcovault1413]

How many bails do get on a wagon thank you

[@PaulWilcox-n2p]

Find a Cummins pickup truck motor put it in the 1650 it will out last you 😊

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Interesting repower idea. Should work without much problem, especially pre '96 Cummins. Hmm...

[@jimwhite1061]

I see your using the oliver. Have you had anymore trouble with water in the crank case?

[@jrobtube]

Aaron, when you are talking about the regenerative features of the field at 10:50 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnXYnnuedtaGf9U in the video and the video cuts to you showing the ground you sound just like your dad. George's voice is so distinctive I got confused for a minute (the raking shots switching from the Oliver to the IH were already throwing me off). Great video as usual. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@Butch344]

I keep asking but no response >>>> where's the old Farmall??? She could rack & pull wagons since Ollie is having issues!!

[@randybennett5417]

I don"t know. As is, you wouldn"t get much, if anything, out of the Oliver on a trade. If you buy a replacement tractor, then you may have a payment. If you rebuild the engine, ya have no payment, you know what you"ve got and the ole Ollie should last many more years. But if you buy a new tractor, well you have a new reliable tractor and the Ollie rusts under a tree somewhere.

[@jedgerrard1386]

Leaking valve?

[@cz_ww2117]

What is the estimate to rebuild that engine in the Oliver? The price of a new one is hard to justify. We always had John Deere, given they are moving production to Mexico, a no brainer to stop supporting them.

[@haulingit1793]

Smart not to throw good money after bad. I would sell the Oliver and buy a newer and bigger tractor. Get what you can for the tractor. Think about what you will need 5 to 10 years from now. Good luck
