Post your hay pictures!

BANDITFARMER · Feb 20, 2015

With all this doom and gloom record cold weather we are having I think its time to post your haying pictures! I don't know about you but when ever I look at pictures of making hay I start warming up and kinda itch a little. I would rather feel itchy than to shiver looking out the window. So post some of your haying pics or any other hot weather pictures you have so we all can warm up a little. Bandit

I lost about all of my photos when My phone card crashed but here are a few warm weather pics I could find.

Mike (WA) · Feb 20, 2015

Circa 1935, Mrs. (WA)'s uncles, Ford and Jim Quitslund, loading the wagon on the family farm on Torvanger Road, Bainbridge Island, Washington. "Tractor" is Barney Google, who was fondly remembered by the family. Ford and Jim both passed away a few years ago, both in their 90's.

Hank ABAB · Feb 20, 2015

Wow!

Just curious; what kind of tree is that with the bright red leaves?

Some reruns- but good memories of '09 some from '07 too.

The last few photos showing the view and an old dairy, with a really nice field behind it, they tore down the barns, the farm yard is a retention pond and the nice field in the back has been turned into a subdivision, they moved a lot of dirt, took off the top soil etc. 13 farms on that road, about the remains of 2 are all that is left, though one was still making hay off these fields, that stopped last year.

Not sure about the doubles on the photos, something odd here, its happened before and I went back, started over, got same, eventually got the doubles out, sorry about those, don't feel like going through that right now LOL !

Paul Shuler · Feb 20, 2015

Its just a plain ole maple. I bought 8 of them at Lowes and put out in front of the house. Ice storms and wind storms have taken out all but 3 of them.

BANDITFARMER · Feb 20, 2015

I got to say that raking hay is one of my real loves in farming. Quiet peaceful very relaxing just rolling along all by yourself. Faint sent of diesel and the smell of good hay. It don't get much better than that. Bandit

I Like it when all one brand is used! Reminds me of lit pics from days gone by,,, great pics and equipment

WIZZO · Feb 20, 2015

Really interesting to see hay making over there. Strange to British eyes to see tricycle tractors, no cabs and the different types of rakes used.

I'll start a Welsh hay making thread soon. Not much hay is made here, our weather dictates that its safer to make silage or haylage in round bales, less chance of it being spoiled by rain.

BANDITFARMER · Feb 20, 2015

Guys these are a bunch of great pictures! I don't know why but when I look at pictures like this it brings back memories from years gone by. When I was a kid I don't think anyone ever had more than 5 acres down at a time to put up. I did spend a lot of time on an Oliver 60, AC WD and a Farmall H raking hay and I do have to say I always loved to rake hay. I raked 3 or 400 acres on this H for Waldo and really like this H.

Hear is a little history on the Farmall H in the picture. This H was bought new in 46 or 47 by Walldo Corwin (he was our neighbor) and he was a total IH man. When my uncle Jerry was young he was hired by Waldo to rake hay on this H and it was the first tractor he had ever run. In the late 60's Waldo hired me to rake for him using this very H and was my first IH to drive. Waldo passed on years ago and 15 years ago his daughter passed on and they had a sale. My uncle Jerry bought the old H with plans to restore it. he got it home and put it in the barn ware it sit for 15 years. My uncle passed unexpectedly and to settle the estate they had an auction. This H was part of the sale. The week before the sale I helped move machinery and go threw stuff to load wagons for the sale and get tractors running. I spent 4 hours on the H and had it running like a top! Not bad for sitting for the last 25 to 30 years. Jerry's son Mike wanted the tractor because of it's history. The picture is Mike on the H taking it out to line it up for the sale the night before the sale. You can see how this was wareing on him that night. The day of the sale things were going high and Mike and his boy were worried about not getting the H bought. Well he did buy it for $2000 and its still with him and his son and like he said I gave to much for it but it was dads and I wanted it for me and my son. They are making plans to restore it even thou it's a completely original tractor. I had fun working on it and getting it running and I sware I could hear Waldo hollering at me to slow it down once I got her running and reved it up. Bandit

(quoted from post at 19:00:28 02/20/15) I got to say that raking hay is one of my real loves in farming. Quiet peaceful very relaxing just rolling along all by yourself. Faint sent of diesel and the smell of good hay. It don't get much better than that. Bandit

I agree with your statement except for the faint smell of diesel as being a desirable thing. It is much more enjoyable when all you smell is the good hay smell.

My wife detests the smell of diesel with a passion. As well as my little Kubota diesel runs as it has only 1300 original hours the wife always complained about the smell of diesel when operating it (or any diesel on the family farm for that matter).

Put her on any of my old clunker gassers and nary a complaint from her. Gotta keep the free help happy. I like the gassers better too. If nothing else the big tires rid way way way smoother and absolutely no smell at all.
