A perfect window opened up between the rain showers to get some dry hay baled. Even better is that the 2nd crop of hay was nice and tender and worthy of square baling. Justin started raking the hay with the John Deere 820 and New Holland Bar Rake while Alan went to v rake the other field with the 830 Case tractor. Then Alan got the New Idea 551 Square Baler and hay baskets ready. There was more hay up there than Alan figured and it didn't take long to fill up both hay baskets. All in all, there were 541 small square bales.

    We use to crank up the front of the rake , so it was higher, and leave the back where it is, and just hit the windrow with the back just to flip the bottom up on top, but not all the way over to dry out the bottom of raked hay! It's nice to have family help out! I have friends that have a farm, the Ladies do the milking and the guys stay out and do crop work! When I was a kid, we had a neighbor that bought a new Fordson and a new baler, he was baling on a hill, it was alright when he went up, but when he came down, the load pushed him down the hill, across the R.R.tracks, and into the woods, then his new equipment was junk!
  • Yes I know what you mean about the smell of Hay days. Something you never forget. Your son looks so big out there raking like that. He is a very hard working young man. Hay does look good.
  • I agree nothing better than the smell of second cutting hay drying
  • Thanks for sharing Alan, always enjoy your videos, like to see how TRUE farming is done. Always a πŸ‘ or 2. ✌️πŸ’ͺπŸ—½

    Man kids are growing up fast. I did custom cropping for a long time an some of the farms we first did the kids were just born or not born yet and now are going to college 😒 makes me sad and happy i guess. Time just goes by so fast. Happy farming from Vermont ❀
  • Very nice hay God bless you and your family 😊😊😊😊😊

    Are you comfortable with the amount of hay you have made? It has to be a nice feeling having Paul willing to help. Your kids work hard also.
  • @STA_FARMS
    I always like a good hay video, especially seeing small squares.

    Wd45 and NH 260 bar rake what I started on and I was 7yrs old. I could barely reach the pedals but I could run the hand clutch so that's what I drove

  • @FreeloaderFarms

    Always enjoy your posted videos when you get time and guess the wife helps you out when she has time as well. Would be nice to see you have heavier crops but you have to take what you get, along with the weather and always have to work around that. :face-red-heart-shape:
