Afternoon,
I'm looking for some advice on mowers and balers, that type of thing. In a couple months I'll be the proud owner of a 1959 Oliver 880 gas, freshly rebuilt and ready to go. I'll be adding a three point hitch and getting a bale spear for it to move round bales for the horses. Chances are I'll get a snowblower to clear the driveway.
But I need some advice on mowers and balers. I hope to do some baling of the ditch and currently about six acres of pasture that is decent. It's not fenced at present so the horses don't get at it. But there is also a fair amount of grass around the house that is about ready to hay, we jsut haven't been able to keep up with it because of rain.
So what type of equipment should I look for? I've never baled hay before (bucked many a bale as a kid when in high school), I've just seen a lot of different things used driving around in ND.
