Here in upstate ny the early part of summer was nothing but rain...now it is hot! 94 today...finally making a dent in our hay.
First pic is a MF265 with a new holland 273 behind it and a Landini vision 105 with a NH 311.
Second pic is the hay put away in the mow.
We are about 30 min west of albany,
Thanks for looking.

Man, that"s neat - I put mine in the mow STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM UP! never seen it done that way!

Few years back, I bought a bale conveyor from sister-in-law"s dad. Best $100 I"ve spent in a long time.

Sam Drucker · Jul 17, 2013

Strange barn, how in the world do you get hay bales to stay on the ceiling?

dgasper · Jul 17, 2013

Is it me or is the second pic upside down?

Vito · Jul 17, 2013

Steve,

Did you buy the Landini from McFadden & Son?

gtractorfan · Jul 17, 2013

Either way it looks like w-o-r-k. Can imagine how hot it was in the barn. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!!

steve terplak · Jul 17, 2013

2nd pic isn't upside down, it is a 2nd floor hayloft,
We put the first 4 tiers in through a side window using a smaller hay elevator,
Then send them to the peak and down the ridge of the barn using the mow conveyor...been real happy with that set up,
There are 3 bays roughly that size and the a deep mow that is bottom and top floor...

Vito.
We bought that at macfadden's dec. auction this past year...so far very happy....glad that my dad can do some baling in the a/c

Zachary Hoyt · Jul 17, 2013

Looks really nice, great perspective looking down at the baling. If that photo is not upside down it is the first haymow I have seen with a V shaped floor.

2nd picture is upside down here also.

steve terplak · Jul 17, 2013

Oops.
My dad just called to tell me that the pics are upside down...on my ipad it is right side up...weird.
Guess I stand corrected...

I get out there to Macfaddens every now and then. I also like to stop in at Jay's corner diner.

JayinNY · Jul 17, 2013

Hey Steve nice pics. I baled today too! I was gonna take pics but never got time, I hope it dosent storm tomarrow, as I still have some hay down. Ya the heat and no help sucks! Ill be glad for December. Lol. Ill try to post pics tomarrow.

wilamayb · Jul 17, 2013

Yeah, I'm thinking it's upside down unless your hay hangs from the roof

Hammer house · Jul 17, 2013

I think it is upside down too.
I copy it, then flip it. It looks better to me.
Now the floor is in the bottom.

That is A nice set up you got in the first pic.
Steve, keep it going.

Pic's look fine on my I-phone. Something about the I-phone & I-pad pic's always look right on them & upside down & sideways to everyone else. I found with the I-phone have to take pic's with phone in the vertical position with the camera lens at the top, probably that way with the I-pad also.

JayinNY · Jul 17, 2013

Pics are fine on my iPhone. That's the way it is with apple. I've posted pics up side down too, only compuker users see them that way, but my apple iPhone always shows them the right way. Lol. Hopefully apple will bury the compuckers and they will become obsolete. Lol. I think windows sucks compared to apple! I will NEVER buy a windows based pc again! I love my iPhone.

JayinNY · Jul 17, 2013

Lol, your right, I dident see your post, and just posted the same thing!

ShadetreeRet · Jul 17, 2013

Upside down or whatever, looks like you are doing very well with the hay and that's what counts!

Roy in UK · Jul 18, 2013

If I may be so bold...

steve terplak · Jul 18, 2013

Thanks for fixing t...
Just happy to be done baling for this week...
Looking forward to next week...80 degrees...y favorite baling weather....I can work all day in that.

steve terplak · Jul 18, 2013

Good luck rotting it in today.
This is the first day we have had decent help unloading... 2 cousins, 1 uncle and a buddy...plus have already sold and shipped off 725 bales...never even made it into the barn...

Roy in UK · Jul 18, 2013

You are welcome. I don't mind baling in 80 degrees, but stacking bales in a barn in that heat would be a real killer!

steve terplak · Jul 18, 2013

Our barns aren't too bad...mid 90's yesterday...want too bad until the first windows got covered...but 2/3 of the stack we had a nice cool breeze, I felt bad for the guys on the wagon, sun beating down on them.

Sparktrician · Jul 18, 2013

How do you stack those bales in the air like that???? and why are you loading them in a ship???? OH WAIT....I see....the pic is upside down....lol. NICE PICUTURES!!!

Brad Buchanan · Jul 18, 2013

If Apple made tractors they could 'upgrade' to a new style cupholder every two years and the faithful would buy them to show their friends!

Just funnin'

You're giving me flashbacks to my youth. Not pleasant ones, either.

One thing about constant rain preventing you from haying- it keeps growning, so it doesn't lose all that much quality (unless you're feeding it to dairy cows). But once it turns off hot, better step lively and get 'er done, because it turns to straw pretty fast.

Ken Macfarlane · Jul 19, 2013

You'll never run out of gears in that Vision 105! The one I looked at before getting my MF5455 had 5 gears in 4 ranges with a splitter for a total of 40 speeds. A creeper set was optional on top of that!

495man · Jul 19, 2013

2wd Landini?

That's not real common, especially a newer one.

steve terplak · Jul 20, 2013

This has only 12 speeds, but we are definitely happy.
Looked at a couple different masseys in our search fr reasonably priced modernization...
5455 was one...we bleed massey red but couldn't pass this tractor up
