Video: Amish threshing oats and baling straw

Cool video I came across last night.

Somewhat related, was talking to my step-dad yesterday afternoon and he remembers (as a youngster) helping out with the oat combining at the Paukulis farm with a combine old enough it bagged the oats. Heck, that kind of made me feel old :) Probably talking close to 60 or maybe 65 years ago.

Oh for sure,

Every bundle has to be pitched 3 times. Once to shock, once to load and then unload at the thresher.

We never had the option of the baler and the horses were a different color. :>)

Bless Allis for that All Crop 60! :>)

I remember those days and they were long days too. Just watching that video made me back ache.
Made a $1.00 an hour or about $12.00 a day, for a 12 year old that was good money then.
 

Sometime in the early 40's when I was a small boy a thresher came around to thrash our small wheat crop. Daddy got over heated from feeding that machine and was laid up a few days.

Wow !, did that ever bring back memories. I got
50 cents an hour helping thresh, in 1956, and
saved enough to purchase my first shotgun for
deer hunting. I remember going farm to farm,
and all of the neighbor ladies coming over to
help make dinner, and each one trying to out
compete each other making the best pies and cakes.
A bunch of neighbors jointly owned the threshing
machine, CASE, of course, and a CASE DC tractor.
Sometimes the young men would try to pitch
bundles in too fast, to plug the thresher, so
then they"d get a break when it was "dug out"
but they couldn"t plug it very easy! I was very
impressed with the power that CASE DC had on the
belt. Except for the tractor pulling the thresher
everything else was done with horses.
