These Pastures Need a Haircut!

These pastures need a haircut! Today I’m out clipping pastures with the Farmall H and the International 120 sickle bar mower. There are several benefits to clipping pastures, including getting dead grass onto the soil where it can decompose, limiting the spread of weeds, and promoting pasture regrowth. Plus, it’s fun to work the old equipment!

Note:
-We do not offer farm tours
-We do not ship our farm’s products
-We do not sell live animals

  2. Hi Pete! I.love your videos. Takes me back to my childhood on the farm. How many acres do you farm? My grandfather had two farms. The big one was 100 acres and the small one was 29 acres. Pappy lived on the small one. We had I cow, a beef, 100 chickens, and a batch of pigs. We did our own butchering .

  3. Hi Pete! Just wondering I know you check everything out but I was wondering if you bought a nine foot bar and sold the 7 ft you would be able to cut the pastures faster?

  4. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're killing me, Pete!
    Side note…
    In my youth I worked at a country club on the grounds crew. We had a couple older gentlemen that worked with us mainly mowing the rough and fields bordering the golf course. They would use a sickle bar mower for the tall grass fields. Well one day old Pete, yes his name was Pete, had is most favorite hat in the while world blow off his head due to the wind and wosh right into the mower it went.
    He came back all upset and said" I ain't never running that thing again!"
    We almost died laughing.

  5. Gotta love the image of a farmer taking shelter under a tree in the rain. something I have never had the experience of, having always had cabs or at least a roof on our tractors. Definitely had it tougher those old timers!
