A very good neighbor had some fourth crop hay to bale today. He had some tractor trouble last week with his JD 4020 PS, it had the PTO quit shutting off. It needs some internal work as the PS has been acting up for some time. So he is using my JD 4040 tractor today on his JD 327 square baler. His son-in-law is round baling what he is not small squaring.
JD 4040: I am the second owner and it has only 4700 hours. Nice clean open station tractor.
Friend's JD 327 baler and 30 thrower. His Father , one brother and him all bought this baler together new. He now is the only owner. It has baled over 150,000 bales of hay. He has a written record of each year and what type and amount of bales. I have rebuilt the knotters twice and just rebuilt the thrower. The baler is in pretty good condition for the work it has done. I was just fine tuning the thrower and knotters this afternoon.
Here is the windrow of hay. Real nice orchard grass and alfalfa hay. Real fine grass. Great for small calves.
Small square bale. Great quality hay. The hay is bright green but my Phone does not take as good of pictures as my camera. I might slip over and get some better pictures tomorrow.
Good job on the round bales too. Nice tight square even bales. Weight right in at 1890 lbs. of 14% moisture hay. So they are TIGHT!!! LOL
Thought you fellows would like to see some hay making. He is only small square baling his tow thrower racks full. About 250-300 bales. The rest will be round bales.
