John Davis chooses to farm using a number of tools and techniques from almost a hundred years ago because he finds it the most profitable way for his operation. Here, John harvests and stores loose hay with his horses.

I saw all the hardware for this operation on my grandfather's barn but never saw it in action. I was of the small square bailer era and spent many a summer bailing hay and straw on the farm. Cool to still see the old methods used and like you stated, the equipment couldn't be much cheaper

I don't know! To have machinery restored can cost quite a bit!

As a boy in the 1950's, I pulled a wagon and hay loaders, except with a Allis-Chalmers D14. Love your video.

Grandpa drove the Graham truck to pull the hay loader while Dad did the loading. Then Mom drove the Rockne to raise the loaded hay forks to the peak of the barn, then Dad rolled the forks to where he wanted, pulled the release rope for the forks to open and drop the hay. I remember well. 😄

Been there done that back in the 50s. Did anyone notice the stack of wrapped roller bales in the background?

Nicely done. Maybe a few people can survive in the post apocalyptic world without fossil fuels

@jerrylansbury9558 Жыл бұрын

Hay doe horses is a fossil fuel, Fossil fuels are made from decomposing plants and animals. These fuels are found in the Earth's crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned for energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.

Except for using only one horse on the pully this is exactly the way my grandfather and uncle, Edward and Arlyn Schneider did it in the 1950s in Caledonia, Columbia County, WI.

I'll have the baler thank you.

@sbeasley7585 Жыл бұрын

How is this method better than modern bales?

@ruedaricardo Жыл бұрын

Exactly my thoughts. Two horses and a stationary baler would be more cost efficient than modern setups. However when you factor the amount of hay you need and the small time windows nature gives you, the balance starts to tilt towards the modern balers.

John will tell you it makes better hay that stores better in the mow. For his operation, it requires less labor. In fact, when his kids were very young, he did the entire operation alone. The investment is very small compared to modern tractors, haybines and balers. He raises his own horses and raises their feed himself.

@@RuralHeritage Ich habe das Video gesehen, als er es alleine machte. Er arbeitete oben auf dem Heuboden und die Pferde arbeiteten unten nach seinen Befehlen, die er von oben rief. Dieses Video hat mich so beeindruckt, ich werde es nicht vergessen. Für mich die beste Demonstration alter, durchdachter Technik. Eine Person konnte diese Arbeit alleine bewältigen, mit Hilfe gut ausgebildeter Pferde, Seilen und Umlenkrollen. John arbeitet hart. Er beherrscht die alten Techniken, wie kein anderer. Gut für ihn, das er unabhängig ist. Schön, daß alles noch gezeigt werden kann! Viele Grüße und weiterhin Gutes Gelingen! Ich würde gerne Untertitel auf deutsch auswählen, damit ich verstehen kann was gesagt wird. Bitte schalten sie die automatische Übersetzungsfunktion in JEDEM Video frei! Vielen Dank!

@@uteschneider3349 I wish I had seen the video of which you speak. John told me that was how he did it alone, but I did not see it in action. I will try to remember to put on auto translation for captioning from now on.

@@RuralHeritage Danke, daß sie die Untertitel Einschaltung nicht vergessen! Ich dachte, ich hätte das Video wo John alleine arbeitet, auf diesem Kanal gesehen? Vielleicht war es auch woanders? John muß ja wissen, wer es damals gefilmt hat. Schön, daß ihm seine Söhne jetzt helfen können.
