This video is a compilation of videos taken over the past decade of us hauling hay in Star Valley, Wyoming. "Haying season" has typically been a very integral part of life in Star Valley--especially during its agricultural past. It's interesting looking back seeing how things have changed, both in the equipment used, types of bales, and quality of recorded video. The equipment shown is as fallows: 1972 John Deere 4020 PowerShift 1964 John Deere 3020 PowerShift John Deere 4020 PowerShift Front-Wheel Assist (FWA) John Deere 4230 1960 John Deere 730 Diesel 1959 John Deere 630 1949 John Deere BW All-Fuel (AF) 1997 Ford F-250 7.3 L Power Stroke 2001 Ford F-350 7.3 L Power Stroke We currently use 4x4x8 large square-bales. Previously, we used 3x3x8 large square bales. The 4x4 bales are much nicer to haul and work with... Previous to the 3x3 bales, we used little square bales. Sadly I don't have anything in terms of video footage. During that time we used a farm-hand 8 pack accumulator with 8-pack grapples on the 3020 and 4020 FWA. The '72 4020 was purchased after that era. Compiled on Ubuntu Linux using kdenlive. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV-CbHQNOXE

I've been doing some work on the John Deere 435 that I recently purchased & took it out for a nice morning ride. I rebuilt the steering column and it was working great. Previously you couldn't take it down a road as it wobbled so badly. The 435 Diesel is a fun one to have in the collection, as it has a General Motors (Detroit Diesel) 2-53 two-cylinder two-stroke Diesel engine. You'll notice the engine makes quite a different sound. The tractor still has a long ways to go before it's fully restored, but in the meantime, it's a fun little project and will be a fun tractor to have. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n8Ffo_oUn0
