Square Baling Hay With 60 Year Old Baler : That Was Fun 🤪

Ahhh, memories of square bales, tremendous character building. One day your kids will be standing around and one of their friends will be talking about putting in a hard day's work and they will laugh and say "Let me tell you about a hard day's work".

When I see Wes and Austin it gives my hope for the future. Great kids come from great parents. Well done. God Bless, Daryl

Great video Meredith and Lawrence and kids

My hat's off to Lawrence and his tenacity keeping old equipment going. Maybe when Meredith gets a million subscribers, he can update his machinery. Family farms are struggling all over the country.

Tell Westley he has clearly progressed from apprentice to journeyman in his farm work. That and his breakfast looked pretty danged good! The young man looks taller every time I see him. Austin is always the pistol. She can hoist a bale as well as anyone. Now if you can just convince LB to throw away that ragged shirt and get a new one. Love your down-to-earth family.

I love it! Did a lot of round bales, but there's something about running a square baler that's just plain fun. I had 13 tractors, my favorite for square baling was a Case 430 pulling a New Holland Hayliner 273; it'd just talk to you. I'd usually square bale around 800 bales in my bottom land and round bale the rest the next day. I've been told i'm crazy, but i love to haul square bales. Nothing like sweat pouring off you on a 95 deg. day loading them bales. Age has put an end to all that for me, sure enjoy seeing y'all doing it! I thank God that by His grace i'm his child and He blessed me with being on the farm all my life. God richly Bless y'all!

My hat is off to you and your children. For doing that job. It's hard enough to bail, let alone using a bailer that doesn't want to work. We used to put up over a 1000 bails a summer of hay. That's not counting The 40 acres of alfalfa. And might I say Miss Meredith you have a beautiful complexion.

We just finished putting 100 squares up in the barn today, as a kid my 2 sisters and I did this every summer, when all there are is girls in the family you do the heavy work not just for the boys! Great job Wes and Austin.

You guys done a great job outside in the heat. It brought back memories 50 years ago, but we pick it up at nitetime after the sun set. Bet no trouble sleeping tonite. Thank you for sharing.

Hello from Denmark. When I was young we made 3000 to 5000 small bales every year, so I know the trouble with this hard work. When they were in the barn it was nice all winter. Thank for all Your kindnes Meredith.

In 1976-77 I was on a hay crew, and it paid a 1/2 cent a bale. Hard work but it made me who I am today. Very appreciative of the things in life!

It's always fun with the Square Baler ❤😊

Glad to see Lady looking happy!

L.B. knows what he is doing , the knotter creates more problems while baling small bale's ! Most farmers have more trouble , they say it has to be in sink , making the twine work proper , L .B. has a lot of patience, stay safe everyone !!

Love square bales/baling. It's what I grew up with in the 60s and 70s, so a bit of nostalgia and memories of youth and good times..

We baled many bales with a New Holand 268 baler back in the day. That brought back many memories. Thanks for your persistence in bring videos for us to watch.

Back in the 70's we had a 268 baler and when we would have a tying problem it was because of a burr on the knotter. Usually it was at the beginning of the season. We would put up 6-7,000 bale's a year. We fed about half of it and sold the rest. We would hook a wagon behind the baler and stack it on the hay wagon as they came out of the baler.

Memories, yup. Our square baler seemed to make larger square about same length. My grand uncle called it "Character Building", but then everything to him and my grand father built character.

Meredith, you and the farmer are wonderful parents who deserve to be family of the year on YouTube and in your local community

Awesome job 👍👍 you and the kids did great 👍👍. God bless you and your family .
