Every farm vehicle that goes out in the field should have it's own tool bag/kit with a standard assortment of basic tools you might need. That kit should live on it's own tractor/whatever. After you start with that any time you find you don't have something you wish was in the kit, you should add it to every tool kit in the fleet. Two of my mottos are 1)"Tools don't cost you money, they make you money" AND " Any tool you own is useless when you don't have it when you need it. Cheers
The cinematic open from above to the musical chooses was masterful. Thought it would be a movie intro. Far above all other all of you tube videos. Outstanding! Russell Carter in Houston, Texas
One of my favourite videos. Even with all the little bailing issues it's hard to feel sorry for a guy that does such an awesome job. I hope you guys get whatever weather you need. Cheers!
Hi Jan! Beautiful new intro! I'm glad I wasn't behind you when the bailer dropped a bail off in the road! Yikes! Love your videos Jan! Stay safe and healthy sir!
I laughed when you mentioned the 'Dutch Tool Set'. I used to sell farm equipment to the Dutch farmers in Eastern Ontario and they told me a line that they loved to use... "Wooden shoes, wooden head, wouldn't listen". Personally, I thought it was a bit prejudice, but the line came from the Dutch farmers themselves. =) - Dave
Jan, Thanks for you video making abilities, that opening shot in the clouds was awesome, thumbs up on that for sure 👍. Have a great day, Aloha from Big Island Hawaii🤙🏼
I really enjoy watching your videos Saskdutch Kid and the drone views awesome , i really have learned alot of what farming on a Dairy in Canada 🇨🇦 Big Thanks from Hereford Texas .
Always great videos Jan. That bale picker upper brings back some painful memories of hand loading bales on a flatbed some 60 years ago! It was fun running machinery but I would imagine it is tough to fight boredom when driving over hundreds and hundreds of acres. Next you folks need self driving tractors then just sit in the air conditioned control room and count the money, lol
Except it is illegal. Aviation regulations do not allow drones to be flown out of line of sight. Since it’s above the clouds it is no longer in sight and broke a major aviation safety regulation. Major fines and/or jail time could be considered.
Hey could you do a morning to night feed management sort of video? Like how much to feed a milk cow, heifer etc, and what to feed, when to feed. Would be really helpful for some budding farmers. Thanks, great channel
Great video and not a bad number of bales Jan. The small balers always give bother in one way or another. They are a pain but still needed. Great video keep them coming
What a number Jan! You must feel like a milk shake or what, as this baler makes you and your NH tractor to be shaking every single piece of straw (and several number of punches for each bale). Well key instruction on to work safely when there is a breakdown! Even best to switch the tractor motor off as you say, or eventually take off the PTO at the side of the tractor. So that the tractor motor can continu to get cooled? Nice to see the combine with the pickup header👌👍
Wow, that is some thick straw a lot of Bales,, Not much physical work left on the farm,,, that used to about kill us years ago,,, when we did it by hand???You do a wonderful job explaining this,,
Gee Wiz. . .sure did seem like a lot of mishaps. I connected with your informing us about the small square bales. I'm pretty sure my uncle, back in the day, did nothing but square bales for his dairy farm. Your baler appeared like it might have been from that era. It's probably just plain worn out. Also, I enjoyed the cute Dutch notion about the wrenches. My family is from Western Michigan where there seems to be a fairly strong population of Dutch. The bale collecting machine was quite impressive. I really doubt my uncle had anything like that. . .just a lot of really hard work with sweat and tears. Thanks again Jan! I love each video.
There are 2 knives in the baler, one is attached to plunger, other is attached to side of bale chamber. Nice amount of bales done. Bale speed will depend on windrow density. Have a pleasant week.
Over the years I have heard many different names for a crescent wrench. Especially if it slipped and skinned your knuckles. The New names started to appear as the wrench was air born to the nearest bush. Thank you for the video update eh.
that plunger in our old bailler 1940 was called chinese because it did all the work. We as kids running the bailler used Bubble Gum for belt dressing. I so love your videos to much work you do. OFF you seat and on you feet the people who don't work don't eat. Thank DAD...Granny89
Here a Dutchmen tool set is a Crescent Wrench and a pair pliers because they are too cheap to but 2 Crescent Wrenches. All of my big farmer neighbors are dutch.
My great grandpa got his arm pulled into a bailer. fortunately the force of it pulling his body against the housing killed the tractor. He survived but his arm was messed up pretty good. Stay safe out there
I to think that opening drone footage was Awesome you should save that and enter it in a contest of some kind. Now do you start hauling manure on that field, liquid or dry?
Ahh ya those 2 crescent wrenches are the real Dutch tool only need two of em or if your a real cheap Friesen you got one of your own and the other one is the one that the mechanic left behind like my dad here in Texas he milked about 700 cows with a socket set and a “borrowed” crescent wrench that all the tools we had for as long as I can remember tho I finally convinced him to buy an impact (I know crazy convincing a friesen to spend money)
Fifty years ago, when I was throwing bales from the fields/hayracks and into the haymow, I would have killed for suc a machine. But I don't think anybody had even invented them yet!
Jan, I see your PTO shafts are not totally covered in a protective plastic shaft, mainly the ends where the universal joints are. What is your health and safety like in agriculture over there? Here in the UK, a farmer or an employee using any equipment with a defective pto shaft would get taken to court and/or area a majorly large fine!
