Cole goes baling *Doesn't go well

nothing like starting a pressure washer to get your morning going are you quitting i'm quitting okay [Music] so yesterday what was i doing oh i was spraying the cattle and dad i just crawled out of bed oh dad uh was mowing road ditches which you have to do every year uh there's a deadline which is october november september yep yep and so uh i don't know you don't know okay i think it's october october 1st okay and so we use the chapter that's on the feed wagon you can go ahead dad's been waiting on me because i'm slow to get outside and anyway i told dad before we unhook it we should pressure wash it off and then of course i left and i went to hang out with friends and so that never got done dad tried starting the pressure washer we got a new pressure washer sitting here and we'll talk more about that later because we got to get feeding and dad's got to get raking and dad is going to rake today and i'm gonna bail so that's fun [Music] so we just dad just realized we can pick that all the way up we're we had to drag it out yesterday with the forklift and so we're just trying to i better shut the door but we're just trying to get it back there without having to you want to push it back some or what i don't know okay back up a little oh all right all right everybody's fed there's kind of a big cloud coming big dark and i hear there's rain southwest of us and so i'm going to check on my phone see if we're going to get rain our hay is over there that we want to rake and bale so maybe if it just stays south enough we won't have to worry about it but we don't want to rake it and then get it rained on looks like dad took the loader off that tractor already he's going to be using the 6r because the 75 20 is hooked up to the mister because i was spraying cattle yesterday and there's a little bit left in the tank and so since everybody's up to the bunk eating i'm gonna hit them quick and then we can unhook that where's ellie no ellie so since i'm doing the bailing today does that mean i have to grease it too uh-huh are you serious and then in about four bales uh you're gonna run out of net wraps so you gotta be able to feed that too you wanna push that spring it ain't all rainbows and unicorns pull it back a little bit okay i just saw some really big lightning down over there but as long as it stays south of us we'll be all right that balloonist is really building now the tank's empty we'll wash it out a little bit dad took off with the baler not the baler the rake and it's gonna take him like an hour and a half maybe two hours probably an hour and a half to rake all that so i'm gonna get to greasing hopefully i figure everything out gonna have to move the forklift out of the way should probably do that now before i forget so i don't run the baler into the back of the forklift [Music] i can figure these ones out pretty easy sun's starting to come out she's all greased up we just gotta loop the chains once i get that all done i'll probably run over get some drone video of dad raking because we haven't droned any rake in this year that's because i've been i think i've raked every field except maybe one where's the lube looks like it didn't get put back to where it should be awesome down there it looks like it's raining we don't need any of that not while we got hay on the ground and she is ready to go i can hear very faintly that it's sprinkling yeah you can see them on the pickup it's definitely raining down there but luckily we're making hay over there so hopefully it doesn't travel like three more miles to the north ellie you in here oh there you are are you scared of the storm let's go outside let's go come on she ain't gonna do it a little bit ago dad needed some sunglasses i'm worried in a couple minutes he won't need him anymore this hayes got a little moisture to it it seems like oh yeah look at that that's fancy hey it's real nice stuff hopefully it doesn't get rained on [Music] [Music] so it seems like it's starting to clear up that's pretty awesome it's kind of interesting you know it's darker over there to the north it's darker to the south like it just split right around us someone wants us to hey today we got a couple bags of pellets we're gonna head over to the south farm over to the apache creek feeder and we'll see if we're getting that dialed in correctly and uh hopefully hopefully pretty soon we can throw that big tote of dakota gold pro pellets in there that way we don't have to drive over there every day a couple chowing down right now so hopefully that means they didn't eat it all and there's some left because we've been putting two bags in a day and we kind of want them to be eating one and a half so hopefully there's some left from yesterday hopefully i don't get struck by lightning yeah it looks like they ate it all they even got their tongues down in there and cleaned it out pretty well so we're gonna have to shut those down a little bit good thing we got a decent amount of bags left to help us dial it in i'll shut those down throw the next two bags in and uh i guess we'll see what happens tomorrow [Applause] it's closed down pretty good so if they keep eating that much probably just shut one whole side down completely that way they gotta fight over it a little bit more and then hopefully they'll just eat it slower and they'll be a little bit left because it'd be pretty dangerous to throw that whole tote in there and then they just free range and just eat all of it until they're full we could have some issues then i know if it were me i would definitely eat until i had a bellyache that hay's gonna need a while to dry out the sun is it's kind of hiding a bit there's a nice breeze and but there's but there's a little bit of humidity out here so it's gonna take a few hours for that hay to get get ripe as they say and i'm gonna head in the house cook a little lunch and then hopefully not too long we'll get to bailin i think ellie's ready to come out did you poop in the garage she's been in there a good 12 hours but when she doesn't want to come out she ain't coming out hey you know you're pretty lucky you have me to cook it's pretty good wasn't it nope you're done right it was thank you yeah don't mention it that's gonna start the semi get that pumping up with air and then we're gonna unhook the mister looks like that tractor's in the way and after that i suppose i'll get going the sun came out it's getting warm that hay should be dry here pretty soon so all right so you know how when you're bailing i usually fly the drone and get some drone video yeah do you think since i'll be bailing you can play the drone and get some drone video no not if you want to have a drone left one here okay so we're here in the field and let's see uh you know you think you know what you're doing until until you get out in the field by yourself lord have mercy yeah so it's not giving me my diameter of the bale so that's confusing oh now okay it was just too small yeah i don't know what i'm doing we're just fine we got some giant windrows we're gonna go slow i don't want to plug it i'm gonna i'm gonna try to i'm gonna try to bail for at least 20 minutes before i have to call dad because i have no idea what i'm doing already plugged it about a minute and a half in oh all right before it is [Music] all right we're through that tough stuff all right the first bale is ready i hope it's okay now we're on to some normal stuff oh right on the rear view mirror it looked like the veil was all right so that's that's good news we're at a net wrap all right i believe error 401 like my dad said was ratternet wrap which that's interesting is it always sticky like that i've never seen it like that before so confusing dad i don't remember this one what is this stuff ah crap i think the correct answer is to cut this off so that's what i'm gonna do don't seem right there's some 14 year old farm boys that are laughing at me because i don't know what i'm doing and that's fair right now i'm kind of thinking i'll keep my raking job dad you can do the bailing all right let's see if i broke anything oh yeah look at that cool sunny the baler the best part about that said i don't have to do it again the rest of this field is it hot in here or is it just me oh we got the dreaded giant windrose again all right i my stress level's going down you 14 year olds i'm catching you now i know i feel it i feel like i know what i'm doing and these these small windrows they aren't very uh they're not very scary i'm not gonna plug on them we're still on the end rose so we got a lot of field left to go i need an adult [Music] like [Music] and that concludes the end rose only had to call dad two or three times kind of pathetic but hey we're getting her done baylor just chucked a rock at the back window it didn't break but that would have made this not fun that was a neutral some people would say oh you'll make a lot of bales in there i don't want to plug it's going pretty good though we're about a third done i'm not taking too much video i'm just trying not to break stuff i i think i think most of you would understand not again [Music] well you can't really see it but right here this group of badger holes that's where that gauge wheel in the back sunk down and that's how we bent it all these right here so hopefully i can before go with that excitement today dad's just rolling up maybe he'll want to finish we just got a little bit left i've made about 50-something bales i i could be done and we kind of ran out of time today we didn't get to talk about the pressure washer this thing is from shusters they're out in minnesota they sent this out it came yesterday and that right there is a 4 000 psi 4 gallon per minute it's got electric start and we're excited to use that i'll probably be able to set it up tomorrow i think but next video we'll probably see that in action we're really excited we'll definitely talk about that more in this little box right down here it's actually kind of a big buck but there's some soap and a bunch of other stuff we got 75 foot of hose so i with that other pressure washer i always had the issue i'd have to pull the pressure washer around because i couldn't get to the back of our machinery and it was just it's just a hassle and so now yeah how do you feel huh you're getting replaced so yeah i'm excited to run that pressure washer help our make our equipment look a little a little more spiffy so i think that's gonna be it for today hope you enjoyed this video we got some bailin done got some cattle sprayed hopefully the cattle have a little bit of relief here head in the house probably make some supper i made lunch now making supper it's how it is so we'll see you next time have a good one thank you for watching [Music] you're about to witness the live natural birth of a baby bale oh look at it isn't it cute
