Need a boombox so Cus. Nathan can bust some moves while surfing that wagon!!! Love the old eqipt. & video. Tx

Thank God for what you have, Trust God for what you need.

Damn, this video takes me back to my happy childhood helping farmers out stacking bales on a wagon. Thanks for the video!

Late 60's to mid 70's for sure. It was a great time to farm... even a profitable time to farm.

Watching this video brought back good memories of when I worked for a local dairy farmer during my high school years. Man, we did a lot of baling hay! I did most of the hauling in just because of the fact that I was about the only one that could back up a wagon or hay rack. But, that didn't mean that I wasn't in the barn stacking. When you came out of that barn, it felt really nice out, no matter how hot it was!

Great to see older tackle still working an working well too . A credit to you for your mechanical knowledge an skills. Love watching your channel. 👍🏻

In the 60’s we ran an Oliver 520 (bought new) with a Farmall 300, then upgraded to a MM U32 diesel. Stacked hay/straw on wagon identical to how you guys did it! Our dairy was in NW PA

Thanks for the great video, you brought many memories back to this old guy being out there in the field baling hay and straw. back then bales were off the ground on to a flat bed truck pitching with forks etc. guess back then the teck wasn't there/everything by hand. Happy for you that you got all under cover.

Man I wish I lived closer, I would love to be on the rack baling straw. Spent many a day doing that, always enjoyed it!

This brings back memories of when me and my buddies helped our pe teacher bale hay standing on the wagon

I felt really bad about the rabbit too, I had a dog like Teeter, he'd always catch some wild animal, this happened several years ago where he attacked a beaver running around in my yard, my neighbor has a bunch of vintage Massey Ferguson equipment he used to farm with years ago, I kinda know someone else who has Oliver equipment, thanks for sharing the video Ethan

That is a good dog! Let the puppy have her rabbit.

Good job overall and thanks for sharing.

Nice Oliver equipment.

Very cool video thanks for sharing. Really nice bales Oliver made so many good pieces of machinery. I just love your barn it’s so nice to have one yourself and use it like that . Thanks for taking care of the little rabbit and bury it. You have a good heart.

great video as always, makes me want to start growing wheat and eventually beans and corn. we just have hay and cattle.

I liked baling straw as a young kid because straw was lighter and I could stack them higher on the wagon. Them were the good old days.

Thankyou for sharing, another great video

Great video good to see you again

Makes me miss doing hay. I used to stack on the back of my dads 1ton flat bed. We had a sled hay loader which was nice. Wasn’t the biggest fan of putting it in the barn though. When I was even younger I remember riding in our 2 ton truck watching my dad and uncle haul hay for half the night. Anyway thanks for the video.

Ethan I retired from baling 7 yrs ago when I almost tore my rotator cuff. I always stacked on the wagon either picking up out of the field or behind the baler.

My dad did a lot of custom baling we put a lot of hay through a 60T baler just like the one you have.

Great video as usual.

Good heart…got me to subscribe. Love the tractors

Love the 1800

I miss that kind of work

It's always nice to have help buddy be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska

Need to see more of that baler in action. You have the coolest equipment.

I highly recommend Brazilian gold 7200 ft sisal twine, i run a newholland 271 baller about the same era as yours and i have very little problems, thats what they were made to use. We baled almost 600 bales of rye straw today and it only missed 6 bales when it changed balls. I learned my lesson with cheaper or thiner twine. Good luck!

Great video, great team you have 😀😀👍

You did the right thing Ethan 👍👍👍👍👍

Nice. I enjoyed the video. Your baler is pretty slick. I Always enjoyed watching the knotters work as a kid. Trying to see what it was doing. Jordan Farms ran a hesston center feed for quite a few years, worked very well. Looking forward to more.

Straw came out nice. Thanks for the update Ethan. Take care. Fred.

AWESOME!!!!

Can’t wait for hay season again

Cool bailing vid!

Back in the day that's the way my boss bailed I was so happy when he went to round bails

I have a neighbor who was a one man show for a long time. He worked and farmed too. They would bale all day then run a Hesston "stackhand" bale mover at night to pick it all up. That thing had a V8 engine in it with dual exhaust and I think no mufflers. He sounded like a drag racer out in the field. They also had a bale mover they would pick up the stacks with and put them under an open shelter. Yes the slicker you get a baler the better it feeds...

This is how we did it in the 80s too heheh

You forgot to introduce Mr. Wyatt who did great for 7 years old…

Equipment rust out versus wear out. Must be a happy medium there somewhere, eh? Thanks for the video.

That old girl will swallow the straw and makes a nice bale!! These modern-day engineers should take a step back and look at some of this old stuff that still works good after all these years and is simple, compared to the new crap they design every day that doesn’t !!!

Love the old Oliver balers, I have a 720 I use. Also have a New Holland 273 but I think the Oliver makes a nicer bale.

I like seeing that oliver Bailey in action! Hell, I like seeing anything made by Oliver work. I'm with ya on the animal deal. I don't kill anything unless it's suffering, causing harm, or I'm going to eat it. And that's only a yard chicken, or the once a year hog.

All Balers comming out of the barn 1st time for the season have problems.....Nature of the beast in my opinion .

Our favorite companions, dogs and cats, are vicious killing machines - just like us. You’ll feel better after a nice steak dinner.

Put up a lot of bales behind the neighbors Oliver baler, a bit newer as it had the Roto Feed instead of the auger in the feeder. Made a nice bale, pulled it with a Deere 3020.

I made all my money for most of my teenage years baling hay. We never had the pleasure of having a chute onto the wagon, it was two guys on the ground picking up and tossing to one guy on the wagon. Then to the barn loft to store it, most of the time it was around 120 in the loft. Not fun, but do remember working with my buddies and making money. Best part was that you got fed at the end of the day ususally, those farmers wives sure could cook.

Some good looking straw it very's around here 2 dollars to 5 dollars a bale then if it is big squares bales it goes by tonnage and the same for round bales too and enjoyed the video

I just got my oliver 88 running. Now I wanna bale with it😂

Somebody called these dumb bricks as in dumb as a brick. Reflecting back upon where small square bales were the thing. But still done these days and some specialty situations like where your selling straw for landscaping. Or horse feed to make it easy for people to handle it..

17:40 nice clip of your dad on the 1800.

Square bales warm you twice! The second time when you feed them! 😀

Used to do around 10000 bales a year with our Deere 214 wire special still use it today to make around 1000 bales of alfalfa

Glad you had help getting the straw in. I agree about the baler probably just needs more use. I don't like killing animals either. I don't even like to do it when they are destroying something. Sometimes we just don't have a choice.

After all the years I spent bailing, I still don't want to be on the wagon again!

Got yourself a good "crop" of straw Farm Boy! Good cash flow.

If you had the facilities for it, a New Holland bale wagon would be the cats ass. They are New Holland's crowning achievement in my opinion. They are so fun to watch and run. Love some 1800 action

Kinda want a Oliver baler now that thing bales nice

Mountain man needs a hay hook

Baling straw for me was a love hate thing, loved the bales being half the weight of alfalfa but the dust oh my! The worst however was baling some clover that had been rained on and was basically only good for bedding to get it off the field and it was this black moldy dust coming at you on the rack...oof!

It's never fun being the poor bastard on the wagon. I'll take stacking over unloading a tossed wagon any day though

Used to do a lot of that sometimes driving sometimes on the wagon 1dollar an hour later 1dollar and 50cents a hour 13 year old at the time thought I making big money lol

Good looking setup, especially once the baler got polished up!Nice having help, I’ve been solo this season. I ran our 337 baler with our 720 diesel for 1st cut of horse hay. 1st gear was averaging a bale every 8 seconds and she was tying like a dream. Broke around a dozen out of 800 bales, mostly from the ejector. Apparently last season’s plague has ended! Will you sell any of the straw?

Good dog! Those suckers are garden raiding critters anyway. Hope Teeter didn't get ticks or fleas off it. he last several rabbits I have shot were loaded. Seems like it's always that way in dry years

Nothing wrong with caring about the rabbit. Having a heart is admirable. Glad to see you having your own barn. Nice to see you had help with the baling.

What weight do you shoot for with these bales?

When its dry, ill leave a wagon out just daring it to rain.

Well I always thought when it was time to bail you got the high school football team over there and that's how they got their work out and that's how they had a powerhouse football team maybe it was coaches farm but I guess with the big round and big square bales there's no use for a lot of labor anymore

That could be it lil rusty inside at causes issues . Seen a similar at a local thrasheree watching corn chopping demo old gehl an wagon. Chopper looked like it hadn’t see daylight in years.

Looks like your dad loves running the trackter when gets a chance

Hi Nathan

What gear is you're dad running in? The ol baler is punching out the bales for its age

What was with the trike style configuration? Seen lots of older tractors like that (never had that in UK) serious question.

Do you do double crop beans behind your wheat?

Hi oliver66, bring me the trailer load i will buy it lol, thanks for sharing

What's your plan with the wheat field ? Late beans? Cover crop?

Are you still planning on making a sliding door for the basement of the bank barn?

That baler might be trying to tell you to do a little hay like you talked about a few videos back!

That is the problem Ethan the more you use the baler the better it will tie better you are right Ethan .are you going to bale any hay with your baler????

Where you have that barn you can alway's add on to it.

What’s a bale of straw go for now? Years ago it was 1.00/ bale out of the barn. Lol

Can you explain why that bailer has such a short tong I don’t think I have ever seen a bailer with such a short tong

How come you do not use hay hooks? Will save your arms. Make them out of 3/8s reinforcing rod,

Hardest thing on equipment is to not use it!

That's what dogs do. Rabbits are nature's potato chips. Don't sweat it.

Don't burn that tangled ball of twine! It can be used for other things!

You need to sell me that tractor and baler😂

Not sure if he has any or not, but if not, get some gloves on that boy.

So will you just sell that straw

that rabbit must have not been doing well in the first place for teeter to catch it not downing teeter but on a good day them rabbits are a quarter turn past oh my God fast and the reason teeter got it was in pain in the first place as for the baler the guy i helped he would not start counting missed bales till the baler got shined up good that is all he did with his square baler was straw did all his hay with round baler i hated that round baler with my whole body that damned thing was junk i could put 8 bales on the trailer and would have to get off the tractor to gather up the extra twine for all 8 bales from where the twine cutter did not cut the twine very well it was total bull shit i would rather been put on the wagon with the square baler than chase that round baler

None of my business but why you throw twine bale in burn pile should of returned it as it’s so expensive and not your fault. Just don’t think you should take the hit and want you to do well but every dollar counts in farming and in life
