[@SonneFarms]

Thank you! You too!

[@raphoncelhacyabon5872]

Green fields😌😌😌 the color of it brings peace to me😌

[@josephrodgers3119]

Your story and your sticking too it.... thanks fella's. Good girl Ellie.

[@Larry-325]

Cole always like the drone shots with the music. Very peaceful. Great job!

[@cameronbomstad4805]

Thinks it very cool the relationship you have with your father.

[@leonhill3430]

Hat's off to ur Dad and it's about time u get up and out the door early

[@MTSLEX]

I find your drone footage of cutting hay soo relaxing!

[@tuckervert5903]

I was cringing when Jeff was driving on the hay

[@kurtjohnson9504]

Take break off turn rubber roll as you powder put brake back on and should help.

[@david_gamer5165]

IT is called grass bte

[@gulfbreeze76]

I pray for great weather, good fortunes and lots and lots of blessings for this family. Love everything about them.

[@tractorboy4148]

you and your dad are awesome, i love watching your videos. you also make me laugh pretty much every video.

[@SonneFarms]

Glad you like them!

[@walterhough8824]

thats ok i still have pleasure watching your videos you take the time to show everyone just what it takes to be a farmer and you and your dad do a great job

[@MRballer14]

Brian, anytime the baler has sit for a short period you must cylce the roll brake lever right before next use. It’s simple but just a pain to have to remember each time. You do not have to reload the roll, just release brake and then engage it and you’re good. Thanks for taking the time to share your wonderful videos.

[@briansonne814]

That sounds like the simplest idea yet! Thank you James.

[@buffranchAB]

Nothing better than a good operation ! Helluva job guys !

[@janahunter3833]

Love your videos! You and your dad are great. Let’s learn more about your life and family please. Do you have siblings where do you live-- by yourself,family ? Where your farm is beautiful!

[@SonneFarms]

We are in south eastern South Dakota. I have two older brothers and I currently live with my parents

[@charlottesmart750]

I love this channel when I'm having a bad day I just watch one of your videos see you and your dad just brighten up my day

[@SonneFarms]

So glad to hear that!!

[@johnharkness8041]

I just love the drone footage of all your fields. Looks like a beautiful place to raise a family. Thanks for all of your families hard work.

[@frankscruggs4749]

Hay Cole and Brian,great video,as usual.I hope that you are gaining ground in the fly battle.It seems like a never-ending war.

[@narellemacpherson6451]

So pleased 😀 for you a bumper harvest of alfalfa! Mesmerising vision always of Lake Sonne, expanding and increasing at will! Love 💕 watching mowing, raking and baling hay with the aerial shots and music. Glad also to see the cattle 🐮 happy 😊

[@erichwendley2459]

I'm Just an Old Geezer, Workin' right along side you Guys, In my Mind!! Reminds me of my days On the Farm Rakin' hay with an old Iron wheel Rake pulled by a Massy Harris 22 or Allis Chalmers WD-45. How times have Changed.

[@danielgrambihler8373]

Jeff does such a nice job mowing.

[@joineshayandcattle7629]

I got away from Deere wrap and never had any more problems. I use Swanson now on my 560m and love it.

[@joineshayandcattle7629]

Deere wrap is prestretched. I don’t know if that’s the reason, but that’s the main difference that I know of. People that use Swanson have even backed off a little on the amount of wrap per bale but I leave it the same. Plus it’s cheaper!

[@RED-LINE95]

I run the 569 bailer behind a 4440. And when replacing the net wrap im very generous with the baby powder, and make sure there's 3 points where I stuff it into the rollers (sides and middle) just barely between the rollers. And I replace the net wrap belt annually. Love the videos get ready to ship the tractor to Canada 😂

[@tracyshewell9544]

Great video. You do great drone footage. I've been off work since March with my 10 year old ( thanks Covid). So i have missed out on cutting and bailing hay this year. Been pretty dry up here in Canada. We need rain bad. Thanks again

[@dalegereaux1863]

Hey ! Good morning ! Thanks for getting this posted while I was still in bed so I'd have something to watch while I was eating breakfast !

[@_Kory]

Thanks for the great drone footage and the great video as always!

[@deborrahdutra5599]

Yes I respect the fact you show the good and the bad

[@agadvocate3776]

Really awesome stuff Cole! It's impressive how far this channel has come and glad to see the success.

[@browneyes-cj8eg]

being from the coast of Maine . I always amazed by the flat land. love all the videos of farming. you guys work hard.

[@davidprentice7861]

Great video miss this time of year regarding the net my bailer used to do it too on the first one then it used to go just fine to 🤔🤔🤔 oh I'm a farms son from Scotland UK

[@danfinley3690]

Nice job on the videos keep them coming love the drone footage

[@Michael-fd8ob]

Jeff and u guys do a mighty fine job. U always stay busy and that's what happens when u farm. Hay Cole there are always good times in the wet spots

[@gilllandaverde8918]

You guys have a beautiful farm!!🤩🚜

[@donpigg1875]

You guys “make my day!” Thanks for the video.

[@GoldCountryTrapping]

Good vid Cole. been watching for a while.

[@SonneFarms]

I appreciate it!

[@barryrohrmeier2399]

I find that Goldbond powder works best when I'm haying. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the best Black Sabbath album/CD ever. Have a Great Weekend and tell Jeff I said hey.

[@deborahjordan4527]

I appreciate good and bad times....thank u 4 being real !!!

[@aaronvincent7558]

Enjoy the video cole glad you are felling better it’s hot here in Kentucky looking forward to the next vedio tell your dad and mom I hey and the rest of your family you and your family be safe

[@timh8257]

Love the drone work in this video and the music with it is fantastic. Nice job.

[@SonneFarms]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ajskab99]

On our 566 and 569 we put static discharge chains (on the 569 we attached it to our pickup head gauge wheel) and let them drag on the ground while we’re baling.

[@owenlewis4839]

Sonne Dad! We have the same baler after a couple days of no use we usually pull the net wrap off the roller and then re thread it in the roller and it seems to work every time

[@bryannewburn7891]

Try this next time. Cycle the brake on the wrap roller 2 times, like if you was starting a new roll. Only 2 times. It should help solve the problem. We fought ours for 2 seasons before our local dealer showed us this. Our biggest problem was grass hay becoming lodged between the metal roller in the front, just above the pickup reel, and binding everything up. Traded that pile for a Kubota, and have no regrets.

[@van_dutch]

You all make a tough job look like a good time. Keep up the good work! Great job on the editing, and giving us a view into the backbone of our country.

[@dalegereaux1863]

Thank you both for starting out my weekend with something good and relaxing. Keep up the good work !

[@stancrouch9642]

Good video. Great choice of music with the drone shots. Very nice. Well done.

[@Victoria-sk6nr]

Those flies reminded me of the mosquitos that were in the original Jumanji film! 🤣 still satisfying as heck watching you take and bale!!

[@johnmoore669]

Hey just thinking about your Baler machine- check your belts to see if you have the tension set tight enough. Sometimes if a belt is stretched out or getting ready to break (check joints) it can cause the issue, until the baby powder/talc is ran through the machine. A secondary thought would be to take a high pressure air hose and blow out the inside of the baler area as well as belts to see if crude is caked inside causing it to throw out a bad bale when started each time. Just an idea- Great video - be safe and have fun :)

[@patrickjacquinot6424]

I am so excited about the giveaway. I am only 13 and I live on a farm in southeast KS, and I live what ur doing

[@ReverseProof]

Wow! Awesome video again, Cole!

[@hayman1971]

FYI I got a new 560 baler last year and had a terrible time with first bale wrapping witch I thought I was the only on having trouble. I learned that new baler rubber roll is soft and wanted to grab net after a year of use I have not had problems on year 2 .Also I couldn't run my RPM's over 1700 while wrapping and that helped alot! Good luck!!👍

[@johnczukkermann3552]

Absolutely love the hay making videos, they're so relaxing. It's like you guys took a small chunk of Florida and smacked it over ur farm with the amount of rain u get lol. Keep on keepin on dude

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Thanks for posting. Hello South Dakota!!!

[@chandlerayers4477]

We have a 854 John Deere baler every time you go to the field role that rubber roller back about 2 turns it will work good. Over night that net will stick to the rubber

[@anthonybinning3853]

We’ve got issues on a 569 wrap will wrap center of the bottom steel roller Always on the first bale and then never again that field

[@nancytyndall3039]

Always great videos! I really enjoy the educational moments as I know nearly zilch about farming. You and Brian have a great sense of humor. I am glad to see Jeff in the videos also.

[@diggerdave.6587]

Hey again guys!! Well Cole, it was fantastic that you got out on the yard before your Dad but hey, you had really bad bed hair! I noticed through the video that it managed to 'right' itself and got back to your usual style. Maybe you could drop the loader bucket off on a trailer or a stack of pallets to get a better view of it?. With the baler throwing its first bale occur with a new roll of wrap or any time your Dad starts baling any crop? You could try re-threading the wrap when you start baling. So, as you roar headlong towards 100.000 subs (fantastic) I feel really proud to be a part of your journey. You have done an awesome job so far so keep it up buddy, I found myself daydreaming today about entering my local ploughing match with a nice old international tractor of U.S.A descent....I'd be the star of the show for sure. Stay safe guys and keep the regerts to a minimum.

[@SonneFarms]

Some morning whatever I do my hair sticks with what it wants!

[@anthonybanda8192]

We have the same problem with our 560m baler with the net wrap. Johndeere says it's dust and moisture on the rollers . We wipe our rollers down before we powder them and it works out 90 percent of the time. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !

[@shaneflickinger]

Happy that 100k subs is in sight for you. Keep up the great work! Take care.

[@lidsman2221]

Thanks for the long videos.

[@lh6353]

You and your pops have a bro relationship lovd it! I am the same way with mines

[@twiki1559]

Could you devote time to explaining how the auto steer works, what it looks like and how you set it up for the field you are about to address? Really enjoying your videos.

[@patt4599]

Thanks for the relaxing video.

[@beverlyallen5308]

Your good thank you for the drone footage I so enjoy it

[@sshhh9641]

Dude. You could literally string together hours and hours and hours of every bit of footage you have from cutting, raking & baling and people would watch it. Well, I would lol awesome childhood memories on the back of a hay wagon when we were doing square bales and thinking those long, hot summer days would never end. I miss 1980-something.

[@bigears4426]

You have some lovely land and buildings on the farm. Nice and clean too

[@n2slugs]

I’ve got a 460M I bought last year. Before I start for the day I take the wrap brake off and roll the rubber and metal rolls just a little and then reset the brake. It seems to help. I never had a problem last year with it but it did it the first two days I baled this year so I started doing that.

[@beeroquoisnation]

Your vidya's are a great expression of the fellowship you have with your Dad. Never let anything become an obstacle to that. That is real wealth. Cheers Gents.

[@janicealbig2135]

I can't wait to pick up that tractor so I can meet the other Cole with an old soul and your parents. Great videos, good wholesome work ethic. It'll be a good drive from Michigan and I'll bring my Cole if he'll take time off of work...lol 😍

[@ronniejenkins2056]

Nice video it's a good looking hay crop green and yellow makes it better thanks for sharing

[@bobcrone6151]

I think sonnefarmdad needs to post ALL his IG pics and stories rotated vertically. The man has style 🤣

[@mattblevins4100]

My JD 468 did that when I had the roll on backwards. It would wrap around the rubber roller and never start on the first roll or two. Probably already checked that though.

[@geraldmckillip5594]

Great camera shots of the raking of the hay ......

[@kenzodrow9604]

you did just fine hooking up the bucket also nice clean fields when the baling is done

[@joeyrhodes3776]

I love your channel by the way I’m from South Dakota

[@dalegereaux1863]

Brian, in about 3 hours could you bring me one of those Taco salads too ? Extra beets I like them ! Please and thank you, and thank Miss Tami also, that looked more impressive than the ones you get at a restaurant. At least what I remember it looked like in restaurants long ago when we were still allowed to go in and eat.

[@barbarastedillie1336]

I absolutely loved this vid...I actually laughed out loud when you were telling the ‘squirrel’ to get out of the ‘kern’!!! Question...do you ever get to bale?? I’m guessing that’s your dad’s favorite thing to do! So what’s your favorite? Fencing?

[@hoophil]

Hi Cole! You sure do have some fantastic videos for us to enjoy. Yes, I like the fact you show all the failures and success stories. It's not always easy hooking up a bucket even when you can see the hooks! LOL Thanks for all your hard work on the videos!

[@matthewpeck4487]

Looks like a nice crop

[@jakepetersonsigns]

That's so cool you doing a giveaway with that international 544. I have run the same one for years on the family dairy farm to do just about everything.

[@bobjohnson1710]

Well, what's a video without Cole gagging in it? I thought we cured you of that! Thanks for taking us along for the ride today, I enjoyed it!

[@michaelg.5862]

Once again, a great video! Drone footage matched with the right music, mesmerizing (really!). Does the Tractor Giveaway include free shipping and handling? 😃

[@liamdtraxxas2011]

I live in the uk, I grew up on a farm my mum worked/run the farm we had old 🚜 and 146 🐎 all the machine's were old, the bayler was a pain in the ass the square bales of hay not round one's, old grass cutter old turner, old hay bayler/loader, old tractor n trailers. But you know what I miss the hell out of it, the old people she worked for died of old age brother thn the sister, I miss the farm from the age of 8, 10 driving the 🚜 having to pull on the steering wheel just to be able to push the clutch in, the old Ford Fergusons

[@MsdebinBC]

Looking good hair cut looks good!!

[@charleslloyd4253]

New tractors and implements are always great. For a year or two. Then the real maintenance starts. And the headaches begin.

[@wilycat5290]

The best channels show their mistakes.....probably not all of them, but they show or talk about them. We like to follow honest, genuine people, not "perfect" ones.

[@JD-zr1ew]

Excellent video, Jd... Scotland

[@bradybell4573]

Just raked some hay today down here in West Tennessee

[@CADtechnician]

Have your local John Deere dealer print off Dtac 117659 it explains the rubber roll issue. The factory changed the rubber compound of the roll. They are saying it will get better with age.

[@bryankeator8396]

If the pool gets dirty enough maybe shell use it lol

[@StJamesCustoms]

I don’t envy the wrap issues. I remember having to unroll a few full sized bales back in the day, quite the work out when you’re by your lonesome.

[@briansonne814]

Yes always hoping for a downhill slope at that point.

[@losgirasoles329]

Damn squirrel! New subscriber here, have a good one see u next time.

[@samanthadudley6412]

Watching y'alls videos make me miss living on a farm, if me and my husband could afford it, i would take our 4 boys and move to place with a lot of land and possibly start farming.

[@euanking7911]

If you use cover edge it dose not rap around in stead of using baby powder you use a real Corce flower

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms

[@evalsgpar6840]

Good show..

[@Lovmike20]

After a long week of work 😴 i would love to make some hay

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

Really gong to miss when you are done baling hay, looking forward to the second cutting. In your first drone video there was a green strip through the field, was that a stream or weeds? It looked really cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@kevin.463]

To solve your netwrap wrapping on the roller problem, just loosen up the brake and give it a little turn, and then reset brake and you're good to go

[@briansonne814]

Will try that. Thanks Kevin.

[@pattitorres31]

'Its to early to deal with that' 🤣 me every morning with my kids arguing lol

[@geo52041]

How come when Jeff cuts the hay it is perfect and when you and your Dad do it it is all over the place

[@dennishayes65]

I bought the 8 track tape of that Black Sabath ( Iron Man ) I think it was titled, when I was 18 yrs. old. Now I’m 67 yrs. old. Cole, you must have the same tastes in music as I have ! Watching from rural Tracy, Mn.

[@einloes]

You compare the fly to a baby bird, so then are those hawks Pterodactyls? 😂Showing the good and the bad is more interesting and appreciated 😊

[@cathiwim]

Thats a beautiful tractor! Been subbed for quite a while!
