Today is our first day of baling dry hay for the 2024 season! This is being filmed in late June and it’s been a struggle to get in the fields all summer so far. But lucky today the 7810 and New Holland square baler are able to get some work done. It was a great day of haying and we are looking forward to many more this summer. Thank you all for watching!

    Brings back memories. We never used a thrower, the thrower were us kids

    Nothing like a NH baler and thrower! I used to stack behind them, first was a 1960's 281, and then an '80's 326. The old one, I could keep up with, but the newer one would cover me up in good hay. Then I had to unload the wagons... Didn't need a gym for a workout! πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ‘

    I'm 68 and this brings back memories! We used to buck, unload and stack in the barn.
  • Man, I broke out in a sweat watching this video. My father built two hay wagons in the mid 70’s after looking at the metal racks at a neighbor farm progress show. They were pretty big for our operation, Our neighbor down the road bought the wagons at our farm machinery auction in 2001 a just recently dad made some repairs in the back that had blown out. Had the lumber to repair.
  • Best workout and sense of accomplishment on the farm. Nothing gives better piece of mind than a barn full of small squares. Especially in the dead of winter.

    I'm so envious of this, bailed hay when I was a kid, didn't appreciate it then but I do now. I could watch that all say long. Thanks for the video

    I’m 68 I used to be on a farm back 60’s and 70’s. I can remember, it was always hot and humid. Then who was going to be on the wagon and who was going to be in the barn? I miss those days. Now I live in a condo. Like they say. You take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy!

    Holy moly! Suddenly it's 1956 middle of Iowa hotter than the hubs of hell and NO breeze. Riding the hay rack trying to stand up as the bales slowly came up the shute. Used wire in those days always handy to fix stuff with. 50 cents per hour end of day fore arms raw from the stickers. Keeping balance used 2 years later in Navy. Good times.
  • Been busy, good to be back, over 35 years since the small square era. ❀❀😊😊 John T.

    When the bust bale came out you said the very same thing as I was thinking. Change of ball. We always had New Holland balers. They were good balers. Great video. All the best πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§.

    We had a Case 200 baler, hand stacked, 145 bales per wagon and 10,000 bales a year. Thanks for the memories!

    t-rex, I am 75 and making hay in the 50's & 60's was hard work. Yes indeed, many memories. We had a Farmall M and IH baler (self propelled was very rare, v4 engine was a beast) no thrower. Aaron knows what he is doing.
  • Thank you for the video. Sure brings back memories 😊 64 and bed ridden from a neck surgery that went bad, videos like these makes the days go by.
  • I wish we had one of thoes when i was a young boy so much easyer than picking it up off the ground
  • One thing about farming is every year is different. Nice looking hay even though it's a little bit late making it. Nice equipment. Y'all are good farmers. I enjoy watching the videos. Makes me miss my 575 with the thrower and eztrail wagons. I'm just round baling now. Thanks again for sharing the video.
  • @mikekelley8291
    I'm 76 and still square ballin, albeit only for a horse. BUT no kicker! Nothing so satisfying as seeing a full load of bales. Wait! They are not in the barn yet. Thanks, enjoyed the video.
  • Nothing better than a baling video. Still make some little bales but not as many as we did 5 years ago. Would love to start making more again. Great vide
  • @LannyWade-i4w
