New Holland rakes make that noise too. We tried the "putting grease on that silver tube" method and it didn't really help. Now it's just messy.

I admire you and your dads relationship, he seems like a good dad

I am stuck in the house for a couple of weeks after having knee surgery. Your videos give me something to look forward to. Love your channel keep up the good work.

Dear Brian and Cole … Thank you for such great content. I grew up working hogs, throwing square bails, cutting tall heads, walking beans, and running equipment from age 12. Dad had a small farm with no real way for me to come into the business. I will live vicariously through your farm :) … you do it right!!

Ways to fix the rake squeak. 1. Wax. Only temporary. 2. Cut off the rod rings. Install larger rings with nylon bushings. Time consuming and somewhat expensive. 3. Edit out the sound during that portion of the video. A hassle and not keeping it real. 4. Ignore any future complaints having given a fair explanation. Easy peasy. : ) I sure do enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Its a video like this that keeps my dream alive, working some hay with my babies over my shoulder....living the dream man!

Thank you for your reply enjoy watching your family , your dad is grate teacher and friend from what I see, love to meet mom some time, you know she is very important to the farm as well. Keep up the good work from Oklahoma.

Thank you for treating you machines as an extension of family ❤

Another great video Cole can’t wait to check out the merchandise

I have seen some guys pull a canola swath roller behind a wheel rake. Works good.

Sure a good feeling, when you know that all that hard work pays off, on that cold winter morning when you unrolled that bail and caught a smell of summer in that cold winter air.

Some beautiful drone shots combined with the right music. Good work!

Cut my hay over a week ago, there was no rain in the forecast for 10 days when I cut it. so far it has had 3" of rain on it! wont be much good by the time I get to bale it. Just the way it goes sometimes. Yall made some good looking hay.

You said “it got rubbed raw cause I was pullin on it so many times....”. I burst out laughing! I had to point that out.

I really enjoy all of your video but the drone shots with that music is just beautiful. It may sound corny but it brings me calming and peace. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent video. Love the sense of humor that you both have. Keep it up.

We have a rowse. Squeaks too. Put dry graphite on the area where it’s metal on metal. Seems to help

It’s nice to see you doing what you both enjoy doing love the music with the drone very comforting

Beautiful color in this video, drone shots made farming look like art!

Cole, I love watching your videos, mainly because of you and your dad and the way you two interact! But I have to say, you have some damn nice machinery as well.

Excellent music Cole! And some beautiful shots - great work with the drone.

I like your rake cole, don’t let them get to you.

Squeak gives it character!😉 plus you like your rake. No worries!

Gotta love haying Videos! 🌽🇺🇸

being from Maine it amazes me how flat and beautiful it is out there. the drone footage is my favorite. thanks.. too bad Dad didn't get any supper. lol

Great video guys

Them drone shots are always awesome, i end up re-watching just the drone parts of the video

Watching haying is so incredibly comforting. Great video!

I ran a rowse rake a lot. It squeaks too. You guys described it right. I wish I could come help I enjoy cutting and raking hay

So soothing watching hay being mowed, raked and baled. Brilliant aerial shots and seeing the happy 😊 cattle 🐮 eating the grass. Sorry 😐 to hear that you couldn’t find your dime/nickel 💰got a good bolt though! Glad to see Ellie walking better.

Awesome awesome vlog. Love the drone footage. The cattle and bailer in the back ground fantastic.

We enjoy watching everything you post....it's kept our mind off the craziness of the rest of the world and problems...to see real, honest working folks just being themselves. Thanks for the sanity! 😎

Cole you and your Dad keep up the grease program. I just retired after 28 years as a jet aircraft mechanic for a major airline. We grease aircraft based on cycles and hours flown. You can tell the corrosion and wear on aircraft parts when the grease program fails for one reason or another.

Time to head to Mitchell and pick up a new Alkota Pressure Washer. Worth the money. Love your drone footage Cole. Some of the best I've seen on KZfaq.

Wooooooooo! New video!

Great images. Thanks for letting everyone see what a day on the farm looks like.

I love the rapport between you and your dad. I’m buying some bred heifers this fall and I’ve been planning on Herefords but you guys almost make me want some angus heifers.

It’s crazy to me how fast you guys can grow hay. Takes us forever to grow that much in the south 😂

I love your video’s and channel! You guys are a hardworking, do what it takes family and I have a ton of respect for that! The tractor in the background, the green grass, the cows...beautiful!

I guess our Weather Radar isn't the only one messed up, No rain for 2 days, that night we had .5 in

Looks like a great hay crop!

Nice video! Our new Holland hay rake has grease fittings on the bars. Doesn’t squeak at all.

People telling y'all should grease your equipment or its too cheap etc should mind their own buisness. Y'all keep up the good work 👌💪

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms!!!!

Hi guys, check out "dry graphite spray" for the squeaking problem.

Those are some nice windrows. Looked a little wet but what the hell do I know. I'm sitting here with my feet up enjoying another quality video from Sonne Farms. Thank you gentlemen.

Usually rains when we cut too so you're not alone haha

Drone shots and music were just right. Thanks for sharing.

Selfie shot perfect for autograph cards. Oh, watch where you stepping Cole. The poo got the best of you again.

Cole, 750/1 likes says it all!!!!! It will go higher, it has before! Where is the merch - push the merch!

Cole, 1,700/1 likes beats your best of 1,500/1. May be the record all-time KZfaq high.

We have no problem with the squeek, its part of using a machine, no? or just put music in the background, that will take care of it! LOVE your videos, the drone footage is amazing. Thank you for walking us through the steps of the process and letting us into your world! I admire your relationship with your father ♡♡

Your dad is funny. Could you next time pls ask him to tell the generator story again?

Hello Sonne Farms, I really have learnt a lot regarding hay production from watching your videos. Much appreciated. I am planning to start producing hay here in Botswana and I constantly watch related videos. Keep sharing guys

Great video of drone footage, really enjoyed the aerial views.

Gotta be the best music ever! At 13:30mins that music should be your signature tune. It just gives the feeling of a beautiful farming day! Love it! Keep up the great work! 👍🏼,

As a proud graduate of M.I.T. ( Manny's Institute of Tires), I have put a tremendous amount of thought and research into your squeaking problem. Ok... maybe not a lot of thought, but neighbor Ned and I went through a 30 pack of Genesee while we talked about it. I came up with what I consider a perfect solution to your problem. I can't ask Ned for his opinion because he passed out and fell off his tree stump after the 14th beer and now his Dog , Rufus, is laying dead groundhogs on him to keep him warm. But, my solution is this... just dont pick up the rake or set it down. Just pick a position and leave it there till you either trade it off or quit farming and get into the Slappy Repair Business ( I'm sure you could get an SBA loan). Hey.. no need to thank me for all my assistance. I'm glad I could help. One thing tho... if somebody could help me drag Ned off the railroad tracks before the 8:15 train comes through, I'd appreciate it.

Absolutely love your drone footage......spectacular country side. You gotta love summer.

GOD BLESS SONNE FARMS FAMILY

Great drone footage. Enjoyed seeing the long view of the field and the all the rows of hay from up high. The baler really goes a good job of picking up all the hay in the rows, very clean.

That is some beautiful green pasture for them cows but you thanks for the video cole🤓

I just snapped out of it, I was completely mesmerized. Thanks for explaining the rake squeal! What a marvelous piece of engineering?And despite my criticism the rake seems to run just fine. Nice looking hay! All that was missing was some tedding.😈

Love the vid I’m on vacation I saw you raking the other day

14:00 what a cool shot

Guess I never thought about raking hay in the wind would be difficult. Thanks for pointing that out!

Did the Robin Eggs hatch on whatever piece of machine the nest was built on?

I am impressed that Jeff can switch mow. Many of us older guys are too stuck mowing to the right. Even with my switch mower these days I still can mow to the left. 😂

Great video, Cole! Awesome drone footage, too.

Really liked the drone footage you guys have a beautiful place

Beautiful photography

Great drone shots, love it when the bells are being released 😀

That rake is the exact design of my Heston rake. Mine is 25 years old and has made that noise every day it’s been used. It’ll last no matter what. Unless you have the hydraulics turned up too high - it will pound those arm stops to death in short order. Most of mine are welded and farmerized with some scrap pieces welded in to help out.

Great video. Super drone work with awesome music. Thanks.

Awesome video TY for sharing

Heavy first cutting. great drone coverage.

Cole. Make your "Hay Roller" out of a couple of 55 gallon steel drums. Just to see if that would work.

Its so satisfying

Get some sleep 💤 Cole Sonne farms from South Dakota!!

Great quality video!

Great video! I finished today with the first cut. Here in the italian alps we‘re not so fast as you! Great even fields, great drone shots, great editing!!! Greetings from south tyrol, the northest part of italy Wolfgang

Enjoyed!

I hope your Dad is first in line for the new shirts and hats!

The nickel will rise again! lol! Always like the drone footage. Well done as usual.

Nice video. Thanks! 😊

That model of rake with sun wheels is, in my opinion, the best model. It has been around for a long time, I don't know how long, but it was there in the 60s anyway.

This was really a enjoyable video.

Enjoyed very much...thank you!

You guys are GREAT greasers!!!!!!

The dad joke on your dad about hay 😂 and a little squeaking never hurt anyone..

👍 You 2 keep up the good work the cattle appreciate it!

Yes!! Cole you should start a welding show, Americas got Steel!!! Seriously, you are a very good welder. How about your Dad singing, The Good Ship, Lolipop!

Drone footage is mint👌🏻👌🏻

Haha Cole! My daughter says her brother is your doppelganger! Great informative video as always! 🤘From Canada!

Grease is cheaper than parts, here is a ideal for your rake, we use 3m silicone spray on things at work, unlike grease or oil it dont draw dust, just a thought

Try powdered graphite for your squeaking, it's made for lubricating locks .

Forget the squeak, the haters are going to hate.

Awesome drone footage!!

Awesome video thanks FOR sharing

you need to order a float and a needle valve for your power washer carburator. It can be installed by just dropping the float bowl and the pin pulling. Remember sharp rubber tip up.

Hard 3" and rubbed your hand raw pulling on it.... You and the 2 dairy guys I watch are better content then anything on TV. Thank you for feeding the world
