Jim what a nice treat to see how blessed we are with man working along side with technology from over a hundred years ago and see how we have progressed, I am also blessed to see how the Amish are so willing to lend a hand and only ask that you keep their privacy in tact. I would like to think they are giving GOD the Glory rather then themselves. Thank you all for your sharing this great time of harvest.

@jerrymiller9700 2 года назад

We used to call it shocking maybe it was a Amish term of calling it when I was a young kid used to help Amish farmers set up a lot of wheat and oats like that brings back a lot of memories

@joepond9587 3 года назад

Always amazes that someone actually figured out how to make such a machine and that it is still working after all these years.

@willbass2869 3 года назад

Gave me a hearty laugh when you were fanning the bundle for the top cap. Those Amish boys did a good job building the shocks and fanning the caps. The use of 'stooks' versus 'shocks' is also a real 'tell' on the region you're in. Your sheaves/bundles were also really big. Seems that the binder could be set to make skinnier sheaves, which would help drying with all that green material. Looking forward to when you pitch the shocks up in the wagon and thresh them in a couple of weeks. You'll have plenty of straw for winter bedding, that's for sure. Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thank you for stroll down memory lane.

@flyifri Год назад

My papa would measure the moisture content by biting a few grains with his teeth, same way with corn, Sonya bean and canola..! Each one was different of course.! He started out with the Clydesdale's that his dad left him before they got into using Belgians. They never had Percheron's though ! My grandmother loved working them just the same.! She had 16 kids, 8 boys and 8 girls.! I miss them both but they into their 90's..! Everything is different now as you well know..! Love your show as it sure brings back memories them. Thank you all for that, from Niagara Falls Canada..!

What a contrast, a grain binder pulled by horses filmed by a drone. These videos are soothing and peaceful. Those shocks neatly lined up in the field are beautiful.

@williamradcliffe5402 3 года назад

This is exactly the grain binder we used on our South Dakota farm when I was a boy. (Age 98 now). Note: The power to operate this machine is created by the large, cleated "Bull Wheel" so no motor is required. What you call STOOKS we called SHOCKS. I put up a lot of shocks in my day.

@momclean 3 года назад

Loved this video. It took me back to when i was a student at Agricultural college. We did all our work in the traditional way, and I was stooking in the same way. Our Thrasher was belt driven from an old TVO tractor, and I could hold my own with the it's of my age! I'm now 80yrs old -still working my own land - I',m an English woman..

@normanreed572 3 года назад

Took a trip to Lancaster county, Pennsylvania a few years ago just about this time and there was a binder in the corner of almost all the oats fields that we saw. It had rained and they had to quit cutting for a bit and left their machines in the field. There were oats shocks all over the place. Seems like a lot of work but they get it done and don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested. Makes you wonder who is better off.

Oh now you are bringing back real old memoirs back in the late 40's as a young lad of 8 to 10 years old I used to follow the old binder and stouk those sheaves . They pulled the machine with a tractor and then when they came to pick them up with wagons I used to drive the horses the wagon was full then a man would take over the team to take the load to the thrasher. Wow real old stuff for me thanks a lot.

For several years I was the one operating the binder as my Grandfather pulled it with his tractor. Then the neighbors would come over and pick up the bundles and take them to the Threshing machine for processing. He then would thake the threshing machine to the neighbors and thresh their grain. What an awesome video to relive this experience.

@flyboy70ify 2 года назад

When I was 6 yrs old in 1943 my grandfather had 20 acres of wheat harvested this way. I will never forget the way the crew worked together to cut, shock and thresh the wheat. The threshing machine was placed near one edge of the field and the grain was augered into a truck bed that had high side boards, as this was happening the straw was shot over the fence and piled in the pasture. But the best part of the day was the lunch that all the farm wives put together on a long table. Good memories.

@kingwood4357 3 года назад

Good memories of when I was much younger I cut, shocked and thrashed many fields of oats and wheat. We used a tractor to pull the combine but other than that nothing has changed. My grandfather owned the thrashing machine and he would go from farm to farm doing the thrashing and I would travel with him on many of the jobs. Hard work but I enjoyed every day of doing it and working with my uncles and grandfather. Life was much simpler then and few worries when my head finally hit the pillow. Thankful that I had the opportunity to experience the good times.

@gerardjohnson2106 3 года назад

Memories for sure. My daddy's brother Elmer had a thrashing machine and a grain binder. He was a tractor mechanic during the week and during season would run the thrasher on weekends. One year Uncle Lonnie used the binder for wheat so I visited with my older cousins and got to help stook wheat sheaves, carrying water. I was 5yo and Uncle Lonnie didn't want me in the way. A couple weeks later grandaddy took me to the thrashing on a Saturday. Uncle Lonnie and his boys were there with their wheat and a lot of others too. It was quite a gathering. The thrasher was driven by a big John Deere with a long wide belt. It was hot, dusty and loud. I wasn't allowed out of grandaddy's 46 Chevy pickup. The men forked the bundles from trucks and wagons into the thrasher. Out came sacks of grain, straw and dust. After it was all done they loaded their grass sacks of grain and we all went to the Trading Center where there was a winnowing machine to clean the grain. I was 8-9 before I saw a Gleaner combine pulled by a Ford tractor owned Wayne Barton. Thanks for sharing

@wssides 3 года назад

I suppose that is the difference between a threshing machine and a separator. We called them all threshing machines even though it clearly said separator on the side of most that I have seen. All that I observed cleaned the grain of chaff and weed seeds quite efficiently if the operator was good at making adjustments for the crop and dryness of the material. Further cleaning was only done for grain to seed or mill into flour or meal for human consumption.

@gerardjohnson2106 3 года назад

@@wssides : You are correct. Grain used for animal feed needed no further cleaning than the "thresher" (my folks called it thrasher). But hardly anybody I knew fed grain except corn to animals. My pa had a grist mill run by a little "one lung" engine. He sieved the wheat and if it weren't clean he wouldn't run it. Most everybody saved seed for the next crop and it had to be clean to run through the drill so the "separator" was a busy place. The only broadcast seeding I've ever seen or done was cover crop, pasture grass and some hay fields. Last hay field I put in ~30yago was broadcast orchard grass and clair timothy for horse feed and it was awesome. I still have the old wood box wood spoke wheel grain drill that was in my daddy's family from the 40s. It's mostly rotten and the spouts are rusted away but it's a treasure for me. Nice to hear from you. Blessings to you and yours.

@parnellbeth 3 года назад

Thank Pete for letting you show this. It has meant a lot to me. My mom is 89 yrs old and has told me so many stories of helping her dad farm this way. He raised oats and the stooking was just as she described doing. This has given real visuals to all the things she told me. I know granddad was raising oats for horse feed. Can the same oats be processed (on the farm) for people oatmeal?

@donnabrowder2431 Год назад

I worked on my grandparents farm in Southwest Virginia in the late 1940's and early 1950's helping to build "shocks" after the grain was cut and bundled by a horse-drawn binder identical to this one. To prevent trampling on the grain before the first round with the binder, the first round around the perimeter would be cut by hand using a cradle. The ccradle-cut bundles would be tied by hand using a dozen or so stems of the cut grain. Great memories from my childhood. Thank you for this great video.

@martingardener90 2 года назад

Jim, I have just come across your channel and was delighted to see this video - I have an Albion 5A binder that had been converted to tractor. It has been cosmetically restored but I think probably too badly worn to work very well, I show it behind one of my Allis Chalmers. I just remember my Grandfather cutting with a binder but here ( UK ) it was usual to put the stooks into a "rick" ( or stack ) and then would have been threshed in February or March when the thresher came. You would sent a pair of horses to the previous farm to help bring the thresher to your farm. Looking forward to following your channel Jim.

@richardgreen5602 3 года назад

This is how I remember my grandfather who farmed only with horses in Alleghany county NY on the farm in Wirt Township, Richburg NY. The threshing machine would be parked next to the barn with the oat, wheat and other grain bundles brought to it. It was a big day where neighbors would come to help and big lunch was served by the women. I and my brother would watch and help as children and teens. What great memories!

A hundred years ago their would be a significantly greater per cent. Best use of the drone ever!!!!

Growing up on the farm we had a binder just like this one. We pulled it with a tractor. Being around 10 to 14 years old I mostly drove the tractor and dad rode the binder. I remember having problems dropping the sheaves when the carriage was loaded.

This is fascinating stuff I tell you. I am so happy to see how things used to be done and now I know how all those groups of grain are done in all the Amish fields here in Michigan. I’m never to old to learn something new!!!:):):)
