I'm a retired architect/full time painter. My favorite painter is Van Gogh. When living in Germany I often times looked out my bedroom window watching farmer drive their tractors up and down and across the fields. The tractor and other equipment was always painted a bright primary color giving contract in an ultra modern experience against a rather historic background. Watching you and your dad driving around gives me a similar artistic moment recalling the Van Gogh hay fields and his farmers driving a horse with a hand held plough. Van Gogh concentrated his studies on the common man and his activities. Though he was far from being high tech, he was very much a modernist in his color sense and willingness to push for a new way of doing things. Maintaining an humble attitude and moving forward without forgetting or giving up the past. I think that might be you as well.

Watched this video with my cousin John a retired small farmer who had a milking herd in the day. He reminisced about doing the same job for years and how hard it was to make enough hay to last the winter here in the UK. In the end he ploughed up all his hay fields and grew crops - wheat, barley, or beans etc. sold the crop and used the money to buy in hay... he always had plenty of good quality hay from then on.

He had a neighbor work the fields, but we kids always helped in the huge vegetable garden. Those years went by fast, but my sisters and I often talk about the farm and those long ago times.

Pete, Thanks for your haying videos. It reminds me of when I was young and on the farm as I worked for lots of farmers making hay. In those days there was not any big round bales only the small square bales. I used to be on the wagon stacking the bales 5 high and 25 bales to the layer. Yes 125 bales makes a load. The farmers always wanted me on the wagon because when I loaded the wagon none of them came off on the way to the barn. There was always a knack to loading so they tied together. What great memories they are. Your videos are so good I don't like to miss any, Thanks so much. John in Missouri Valley, Iowa

So wonderful to see you and your Dad working in the field of Hay together…I don’t know who looked Happy year? Him or you. I truly enjoy your story of why you like making hay so much!!! It’s really quite a story and I think that it goes clear back to when you were full years old. I can’t believe you were driving a tractor at four by yourself! Now, I do understand You being on the tractor with your Grandpa, or your Dad, but not driving at yourself. Usually kids are riding on laps😊❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️I’ll be honest, that was very hard for me as a mother to allow my children whom I love so much and they were so tiny to get on the tractor with Grandpa (whom I love very much interested as well but the fear of my baby falling off his lap and under a piece of equipment terrified me more and I had to really work on that until one day my father was getting off the tractor and he looked at me and I know the fear had to been very clear in my eyes it probably even tears on my face and as he handed my child to me, he said very simply, “Susie, children have been riding tractors with their dads and grandpas for generations and we don’t want ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR LITTLE ONE, ANYMORE…I want to reassure you, and squeeze in that little guy so tightly to ensure his safety, that if I squeezed him in ANY Tighter, he threw up. You just got to relax a little bit, little one, or you’re going to take the joy out of this for all 3 of us!!”…. And then he put his arm around me, and HUGGED ME HIS BIG, Wonderful Bear Hug he Always gave me, And he said, “let’s go get the boys something to drink”, And we walked arm-in- arm back to the farm house We never spoke about again! Nor did I ever stand around clenching my teeth is my dad gave my son rides. In fact are usually busy myself in the garden or with the cattle until they came back so that I worried less and less every time. But when I think about what I did starting at the age of four and five on the dairy farm, I marvel that I was able to not only do it, but yeah it was just kind of expected of you to get started on whatever chore you were capable of doing and then it was full speed ahead on becoming a farm kid! I loved it just like you do and I can tell that. I’m 68 years old this year yeah it seems so strange to say it because I don’t feel even 48 years old and I’m no longer living on a farm but I have begun watching all these KZitem channels, living vicariously through everyone else actually, to be honest, I’m only watching a half a dozen or so of the best. I miss it so much. I want to ask you a question Pete and I know you’re not gonna laugh at me but there will be people that do, and that’s OK..I’ve told you before, that my father did not believe in the girls handling farm equipment… That means a tractors and Hay Baylor’s, etc…. However we could hook up the wagon to the tractor when we were going to cut hay. But that’s as close as he let us get our fingers she possibly being hurt. He really truly wanted to protect us from 80 farm injuries. So my question is this since I have truly no idea or understanding except from when I had my own land and I mowed the grass with my lawn more, but that’s not good enough. As I watched you in this video I don’t know where you’re looking as you drive the tractor and you’re trying to cut the wind row and then Riggs wind row and then billet. I watched your head going side to side and then you’re turning around and then you’re looking up front and then you’re looking in the back but I can’t figure it out how do you know where to keep the wheels of the tractor…?? It looks to me like you’re keeping them just on the Inside left of the role you’re coming down whether you’re cutting or making a wind row, or bailing…but am I wrong? I’m not too embarrassed to ask this question because my grandmother taught me there are no dumb questions how many dumb people who aren’t willing to ask so they can learn! So here I am at 68 years of age wanting to learn. You don’t have to answer it so everybody else hears the answer unless you want to… You can email me or ignore it because you’re too busy LOL somebody please help me know the truth because I never got to drive a tractor… But I rode a lot of horses and I rode on top of a Lotta Haywagon‘s, stacking it for the barn and also putting it in the barn. By the way, your field sure was BEAUTIFUL WHEN IT WAS ALL BALED😊❣️❣️

Re. Small engines that won't start hot. Check exhaust valve tappet. Clearance. 1. Exhaust valve and seat wear faster than intake valve, reducing clearance. 2. Exhaust valve expands in length more than intake valve when hot, reducing clearance. 3. There may be enough exhaust valve clearance when cold but not when hot. On some small engines I have been able to force a small file between the valve and tappet and saw away to get more clearance without disassembly. Our new Troybilt bagging mower would not restart after three out four bags of grass. Since it has overhead valves I popped off the valve cover and gave it another .005" on the exhaust tappet, just like setting the valves on the MD. Now I can now the whole lawn.

It took some doing to roll it over with the flywheel but I was persistent and when I was 8 1/2 I started it. Good to his word he turned me loose on it pulling a converted John Deere Horse drawn Big 4 mower. It cut a 4 foot swath and it took a few days to cut our 14 acre field at 1 1/2 MPH.

I love a side delivery rake for "fluffing" the hay while raking to help it dry. I have a John Deere #350 Pto-powered rake. Having the PTO run the rake helps because in thin grass or alfalfa I ran idle the engine and slow the rake so it beats the hay less. In really heavy hay I can run the engine higher Thus fluffing the hay into a more airy windrow that drys faster. My grandpa was a firm believer in leaving the hay in the field in for a day, even if its stacked on a wagon. That is small squares. Even rounds he would leave in the field before stacking it near the buildings.

Most people call letting hay sit at least a day in the field steaming out. And certainly for hay that doesn’t have to travel far to be put up it does release some excess moisture even with out netwraped bales. Only stuff we don’t let steam out is when we do hayliage and we wet wrap the bales.

We used the same equipment and method as you do with the exception of using an IH plunger baler that rocked the MD when we stopped to make adjustments. Our baler made rectangle bales (75 pounders) and we pulled a wagon behind the baler and stacked the bales as high as we could go without dropping any bales on the way to the barn. It was hot and dusty but we enjoyed iced tea when we emptied the wagon in the hay barn.

This week we were square baling and my 20 year old daughter was running the baler while I loaded and my dad raked. 3 generations in the field. It was great. Oh yeah, my dad has told me the same thing about the Wisconson engines.

I quite enjoy seeing the older tractors valued and still in use. For those interested in how the newer farming equipment is impacted by technology/programming, I found an interesting conversation with a John Deere engineer by the title, **An honest conversation with Willie Cade; grandson of John Deere engineer & patentholder.** The topic makes me appreciate the efforts put into the restoration of the Just A Few Acres farming equipment.
