Great video Mike. Love to see kids learning and wanting to learn from their parents. And always like to see the older Deere tractors showing they still got it. Have a good one. See ya on the next one.

Looks like some really nice hay. As always, you wish there was a little more there. Looks like you've got yourself a future rake operator on your hands. Always enjoy watching a parent teaching their kids how to do things. Good job on your part. Stay safe.

In my opinion New Holland makes the best hay equipment. But I have a question. I am 12 years old and I am just starting a hay business with a McCormick 46 square baler. It doesn’t always tie the knots tight enough. What could it be?
@mikep7810
