The drone shots of the field being cut - sooo cool!! Thanks for stopping for the duck and nest. We did about 4000 bales on our farm in the mid 1970s twice a summer and I am floored at how far the equipment has come. It's like you are in the Star Wars Millenium Falcon being able to drive that equipment backwards. 🤗
Great drone shots, thanks for stopping in time for the ducks, and the equipment today is so great -- I drove a cough and choke lung special with a huge 16 ft header and I swear the top speed was "AW come on, I can walk faster"
Nice video with drone. Great explanation of process and weed control. Nice to see you spare the duck eggs, speaks well of your practices. Wonderful videos as always!
Hi Jan! Man you're videos are the best. The video quality and your narration is top notch, the best! Thank you for sharing your farming life with us!! Stay safe and healthy! Amazing how you saw the duck and went around the nest, Good man!
I made my comment the went on to start reading others. I could of just tagged I to yours :) he does do great work! And I agree with going around the duck nest!
Thank you for explaining how the cutter functions and why you were cutting field early. I am an information geek and love all the knowledge you have given me about dairy farming. Please keep it up. I look forward to each and every video.
Excuse Me , A MacDon swather WOW😀👍🏾 The reverse seat , never saw or heard of that before. All around GREAT video including you again. Thank you so much 😀👍🏾🚜🐄🇨🇦🇨🇦
After seeing the duck eggs curiosity got the best of me. So went and looked and today there are eight baby ducks swimming in the ditch along the lane. And west of the barn the four Canada Geesse are walking around all proud of their 13 baby Goslings.
You’re videos are top notch!The slow-motion, Drone footage, audio, time-lapses; all of it along with your details descriptions/explanations make it very entertaining to watch. Thank you for inviting us into your world.
I had never heard of MacDon equipment before. I googled them and found they are based in Winnipeg. They have plant tour videos on their website. After watching all the U.S,. farmers its refreshing to see how things differ in Canada. Thanks to our Canadian neighbors.
McDon is a long time Canadian equipment manufacturer. They build quality equipment and were the originator of the massive combine Draper heads that are wildly used nowdays. Canadian engineering isn’t some of the best.
I wish I could be your farmhand, I love the life you live! As always thank you for sharing, stay safe and stay well! God bless you and your family farm!!!
Very impressed with your talents.........choice of music, angles and drone shots seem to be getting better and better. You do Canada proud! Greetings from northern Vancouver Island
The saving of the duck eggs done it for me!! You are Superior!!! You love wildlife too, are you real?? It is good to see people who loves wildlife and they do their part to save it. Thank you for sharing. Peace from SW Florida 😇!!!
Hey Jan, once again great footage from the drone as well as ground footage. That's really cool on how you can spin the seat around and that was very sweet of you to save the ducks nest😘 so whats next for SDK keep up the good work and see you in the next video🤔😯🦆👏😘
The chopper looks like a pretty scary piece of equipment. No place for hands. A neat cab is a happy cab, you did a great job.I like that you take safety seriously.The drone footage was really fun to watch. Thanks for another great video.
When we moved our silage cutting later - back into early June , the curlews were generally hatched, but there were tons of gulls that came to feed on the stubbles and the chicks needed to make it to the edges of the field where there was still cover. Some must have, as the population of curlews remained , at least until we sold up. When we made silage in May the tractor driver used to try and mark the nests before cutting , but even leaving a few yards around the nest probably still gave the mothers a scare. Early cutting is essential to make quality silage for dairy cows , but it isn't very compatible with some wildlife.
Hay cutting sure has came a long ways. We use to have to cut with a tractor. One tractor cut it, the same tractor was attached to the tedder, then the rake, & later the bailer. The same tractor was used to pick the bails up out of the fields too.
I just love how well you explain every machinery, so interesting.. Not only what the machine does but also how and you really explain it truly very smooth and super understandable 👌 And I also never have seen that handy 'vacuumer in a toolbox' , that is a nifty little thing!?
Hey Jan, we have exact same swather and header over by Regina, so not too far away! But we have our auto steer button set to the little green button on the joystick, works very well then you never have to take your eyes off the header to hit the auto steer button
So enjoyable, as usual. You obviously give thought to the specifics you want to feature, and allow room for the unexpected as well. So I guess you didn't have duck eggs for dinner?!! It's good you're giving wildlife room to grow. Much thanks as always!
WHAT AN AWESOME PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, ESPECIALLY BEING ABLE TO TURN ENTIRE INSIDE AROUND TO RUN IT THAT WAY AND ALSO GPS SYSTEM. NOW IM FAMILIAR WITH GPS CAUSE I WORKED FOR MY COUSIN RUNNING HIS DUMP TRUCK ON CONSTRUCTION SITES AND MOST OF DIRT MOVING EQUIPMENT ALL HAD GPS. TAKE CARE AND KEEP VIDEOS COMING AND IF I EVER HEAD UP YOUR WAY I PLAN ON STOPPING IN TO VISIT WITH YOU 👍 . WINNY FROM PGH., PA., U.S.A.🇺🇸, ✝️👏🙏😇👍
We had the same issues with our hay bine. Every two rows we would have to get out and get all the dirt out of the header. And we would plug up a lot. It was annoying. We were growing our cow herd, we thought it would be a good idea to buy a disc bine, we haven’t went back to haybining. Keep up the great content!
Nice save! I really like the swather. It seems faster, especially turning. Could you go into why you went swather vs. mower conditioner sometime?Thanks! Hope you follow up on the Fox tail control strategy.
I’m a new viewer of this channel, it’s impressive how much knowledge this young man has. I knew farming was tough, but he makes it look easy. Great job buddy
That is a nice looking machine. Some of the guys have to crimp with a separate machine after they cut. This is slick. I don't think some of these toys existed when I farmed. I like watching you drive and explain things. Good vid. Peace.
Have you ever tried a discbine. I agree 100% with you that cutting the grass early and get a chemical free weed control. Look forward to seeing the chopper working. Thank you for the video update eh.
Nice video mate, thanks for your awesome explanations on things I've never known even existed. and thanks for recognizing and taking care of the Ducks, that was an awesome save man. I love it.
You need a brush on the end of that vacuum ;-) So glad to see you turn that thing off before you climbed down there ! One of my grandfather's neighbors went through a hay baler...long time ago.....so many things to be careful of around that equipment and only takes a seconds distraction. But...you know that already ;-) That's a pretty cool machine !
Love your videos here in Hawaii there are a few cattle farms but dairies are a thing of the pass, too many outsiders move here and complain about everything...Oh the cows stink...Oh the waste was is getting into our aquifer, they make me sick. Anyway you make great video's, thanks for going around the Ducks nest, I hope the Bailer does the same. Aloha
Another great video with awesome drone footage. Do you come across many fawns while cutting? I know some guys hang chains from a bar out front to spook them into standing up. Unfortunately a few of them do get run over without the operator ever seeing them.
All we have to do to entertain my 1 year old baby sister is turn on SaskDutch Kid and she will stay there for a few videos and it's a good educational thing to watch and even better, my whole family loves to watch SaskDutch Kid! Great job, keep up the good work for my baby sister! 😂😂😂
