We don't need no stinkin baler!

[Hay Dude]

For smaller operations, it’s not unimaginable to see someone collect loose hay like that. They could be on a shoestring budget and lost their baler or tractor and can’t afford to replace or needed to get hay scooped up before rain.

This video (X2) shows the entire process of cutting, raking, drying, stacking on racks with no machines. This reminds me of days gone by when clocks ran a different speed.

To me it proves what I've thought for years, one doesn't have to belong to a gym but working is the best exercise! I believe people years ago were stronger and more fit.
You see very few young people today working like that.

Well, I have been impressed today. I will go ahead and admit that I couldn’t keep up with her. I wonder if she builds fence too?

I rake my leaves in a similar fashion. I windrow them, then turn the rake over and push the windrows down to the end. It slides real easy when it's upside down.

We have a few hobby farms around us like this. It's more of a getting back to basics and living with nature culture that avoids machinery and chemical use where possible. In direct contrast to my Amish neighbors that use horse drawn equipment and use some pesticides. One neighbor pulls an old Wisconsin gas motor baler with horses.

How much do you want to bet it's for HER horsies?

Attractive lady. Nice Hair!

When I was young we put in loose hay, but we used a tractor with a buck rake to gather and a trip rake to pile it. Barn still has the hay forks.

She is definitely a go getter, barefoot and all.

I AM impressed. Definitely not the work ethic of most young folks today. All of that and she is a beautiful woman.
