Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

Yeah I love it here!

Awesome thanks!

Thanks Mark!

Thanks Matt !!

Haha yeah!

Thanks!

Thanks Martin! I was able to get up about 50 acres of my hay this week videos coming soon.

Thanks Brad!

Thanks!

Thanks Ronald sorry it was a little short

Yeah Its beautiful

Thanks David!

Awesome Don glad you liked it!

Thanks! Yeah it's was difficult to dry but I knew it would be. It worked out.

Haha I had little helpers the rest of the day

Yeah it does thanks!

Cool my father in law said he made a dollar a day working hay and that was good money then

Thanks!!

Yeah it's a beautiful place. I just take it for granted most of the time.

Thanks!!

Actually I've tried that and it won't dry hardly at all. If the sun can't get to it, it just stays wet. I've had the best luck spreading it wide and thin with a Tedder. Rye takes a long time no matter what you do that why most people just chop it.

DLH Farms aaah... didn’t know rye was so hard to dry. Thanks for the information and keeping me sane!! You’re videos are a great way to pass the time with my family.

Thanks

I think you will like it.

Thanks!

Cool deal 👍

So far it's been really good. No issues 5th season doing 200 acres a year.

Thanks it was gusting up to about 15mph that day I was concerned they say max wind is 20mph for the drone.

I've got one of those too, haven't used it in a couple years.

Oh yeah!! 👍

It's a Mavic 2 pro

Cool.

Yeah sometimes you can't avoid it when you have to do a burn down or get a lot of weeds but usually I avoid it. I wonder if all the people that want their hay 100 percent weed free realize how much chemical has to be sprayed on the hay to make that happen.

I would if it was going for cow hay but this will be horse hay and horse people don't like much clover.

All Ford. TW-20, 7710, 7740, 6600, 4600, 4610, 801. All those tractors are still around except for the 801

My field are the rough and the rake does really well I have to run it close to the ground though. Much better than anything else I've used.

I do like that rake

To steep for that to work around here. Normally you have to back the baler up a long ways to find a valley or a spot flat enough that the bales won't roll away.

Lime, Fertilizer and maybe a no-till drill. I know cost a lot of money

I've already filmed the next square baleing video but I'll try to do it next time.

@@DLHFarms ok I just have never seen anyone explain how they it works

It doesn't have to be completely weed free. Only way to get weed free is spray the hay with a bunch of chemicals. I'd rather have a few weeds.

My dad saw that there wasn't much future in the dairy business and had an interest in backhoe work so he bought one and it went from there.

My boy asked me to go fishing today

Did you go??

Thanks!

Thanks yeah this is it fifth season I should review it.

@@DLHFarms fifth season?!? Surely it can't be?!😲. Think I've lost a couple of years somewhere 😂😂

I know because I financed it for 5 years and it's almost paid for.

@@DLHFarms oh heck! I know you bought it while I was looking at them. Didn't buy mine till last xmas

It never wads up like my old wheel rake did and it doesn't pick up near as much dirt in the hay.

Yeah I like it. I don't have any major complaints about it. Hard to compare the Deere against it though they are two different animals. I would rather spend my time in the Deere it's definitely more tractor and a little more comfortable on rough ground.

I like orchard grass the best too, that and Timothy. I hate messing with alfalfa it's a pain but my main customer like to have a little for foaling. Nobody around here sells alfalfa either so it is in high demand. I'm only doing about 9 acres.

I like alfalfa and have made good money from it for years, but two seasons ago we had all that relentless rain and I couldn’t cut it when I needed and was out thousands of dollars. There’s no subsidy for that around me, only crops which alfalfa doesn’t qualify. I learned a value lesson that year how vulnerable that market is to bad weather. I lost a little money on orchardgrass but I just mowed it and recovered relatively quick but that wasn’t the case with alfalfa. I had similar losses that year on chopped corn. Man, I hope we don’t have another season like that anytime soon.

The guys that own hurricane ridge farm have all the big equipment. The farm in the background here still belongs to my uncle, but he is renting most of his land to and working for the big farm on hurricane ridge also.

@@DLHFarms oh ok gottaca...beautiful farms

My dad bought the land for the construction company from my grandpa years ago but when he passed they spit the rest of the farm and my dad got more land that surrounds the construction company and my uncle got the farm you see here. My grandpa owned about 500 acres at one time.

It's not to bad, but that is normal for most all cab tractors because of the pressure that the door creates in the cab when you close it. Try opening the back window then shut the door I I bet it will close easier.

DLH Farms I’ve driven cab tractors all my life but nothing new enough to have a nice tight door so it’s kinda new to me lol

I was going to do a millet and double crop for a couple years then go back to alfalfa but my dad bought land near by that was a corn field so I planted my alfalfa there and decided to turn this into orchard and Timothy

After the alfalfa plays out I will switch the fields

Wouldn’t want to bale behind anything else

@@DLHFarms I just bought a double rotary pottinger.

Thanks it's a Mavic 2 pro

Bahaha

Yeah they bought Kverneland a few years ago so they now have a whole line of hay equipment. Kverneland makes vicon equipment it's all the same stuff.

DLH Farms yeah I personally know about Vicon, I own a RotaFlow R-OM all aluminum precision spreader I bought a year before they were acquired. Cost me 22k and now I can’t get parts. Kubota doesn’t allow them to be sold in USA or Canada and no Europe dealers will send parts. Kubota bought Vicon to kill their line from competition.

I stay tired haha

That's the sign of a real working man. No time to sleep and a tired look on face

Can’t type why do you rake counter clock wise just curious

Be cause it's much easier to look over your right shoulder because the controls are on the right, then you can see the tree line and fence easier so you don't hit them.

Like I said in the video I didn't want to readjust it to rake this one field it's set up for regular hay.
