I really like this one. I musta spent a thousand hours stacking wagons, and you had the exact same point of view. Thanks for the memories, Jake. I never minded stacking until it came time to get up in the hay mow and stack 'em up there. That was some hot, sweaty, dusty, back-breaking work. But I even enjoyed that part most of the time. Made ya sleep real good after a swim and a big dinner. Jeff
defuse56 thanks Jeff I'm sure I'll will spend more hours on a rack. I'm like u I could stack all day on the rack but when it came to put them in the barn I dred that part. Yes supper never tasted so good

I know, right? We'd come in and dive in the pool, then change and go to the table and chow down. My boss's wife Elma was an old-time farm wife. She took pride in laying out a big spread for all the hands. She'd never let you leave till she was satisfied you'd eaten enough fried chicken and biscuits to fill an elephant! Have a good Saturday!

What can I say? Looks like you have all the help you need,and all is running smooth . Black Gold, yep, I heard of that type soil. I used to farm a lot of round creek stone. I suppose it was from the Great Flood. Still it produced very well.
oh boy! the 310 rides again, great video man having some quality time with grandpa too, im planing to cut soon, said were expected to get rain this weekend prolly monday is a go for us and ill be sure to show ya our 268 i didnt forget about your request! lol
+Jake Ziegler just thought of this, but there are a number of wedges that are supposed to be in the bale chamber. Should be 2-3 pairs of these wedges to help get tension in the chamber.
+Jake Ziegler The wedges aren't directly under the knotter. They are actually bolted on the inside of the bale chamber. Part number 86626431. You may have them, but it's not uncommon for these to rot out and fall out particularly if a machine has been stored outside with hay still in it.
I have 2 cousins brother and sister in western New York that run a small dairy heifer replacement farm. They usually put up over 2000 square bales but they hay wagons are a lot bigger.
Enjoyed the video.Years ago it was a big family get together to help bring in the hay. My dad and I used to up and help them. They no longer milk cows just raise replacement heifers. Hate to see so many family farms shutting down. But it hard to make money in dairy unless you have a big operation. I have another cousin in PA and all his milk goes to the government to make cheese.
+Rdrake1413 ya it is fun to get a bunch of pto it there makin hay. Grandpa said all the neighbors would get together and make hay but that was 60 years ago. He was the only one around with a twine tie baler. That's what I've heard dairy is tough to make a buck in.
well my friend you got old 310 singing again; have you ever had one of those bales break for I have had several as picking it up and just burst the twine break and got kick it off the wagon what a mass lol.
