I cut hay yesterday and bailed it today. 57 round bails--it has been dry here and I did not do as good as last year. Son is in the grading business and he brought the skit steer to the field and loaded the bales tonight and stacked them in the barn. It took longer to haul the loads to the barn than to load it. I can remember the work and labor with the square bailes!!! All is in the dry and the horses are set for the winter. I LOVE those round bails and the ease of loading and storing--I am getting too old to work anyway

I agree...the big bales sure are less labor intensive...but that creates a market for the guys that put up small squares too! With so many farms in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, making large squares and round bales...
the horse farms have been willing to pay more for small squares. I guess the 14T doesn't get to retire anytime soon...so I guess the H doesn't either. :)

 About hauling hay in reply to Tom Windsor, 06-06-2006 19:34:02  
Yep, glad first cuttins done for us got 76 bales hauled in in two hours, We got a MF 3690 with a Vermeer 605M on it- eats the hay right now. If anybody has troubles with wooden flat racks falling apart when loading hay, my uncle sells all steel racks that are garuenteeded for a lifetime. They hold 10 6ft. round bales to a rack. Email if anyone has any ?'s. You can also buy runnin' gears for them too. Sorry about the selling topic.
