First Cutting of Hay Field

Nancy and I got our first cutting of the hay field this past weekend.

This year "Vernon" our 56 Model 70 was used to run the 9ft JD 350 sickle mower.

Both the tractor and mower did a good job.

This year we added a Deutz-Fahr KH40 hay tedder.

Nancy used "Old John" her 48A to run the tedder.

Did you notice that we lost the right outside tine buggy?

A pin came out and well; let's not talk about that.

Also had some damage to another tine arm.

We had planned on using "Uncle Earl" our 39B to pull the hay rake.

Tractor started OK, but was running rough.

"Old John" Nancy's 48A was used to pull the JD 640 hay rake.

Both the tractor and rake did a good job.

We used "#15" our 53 Model 70 to run the Krone 260 baler.

Have you ever noticed how everything on equipment checks out and works just fine at the shop?

I looked at the baler and thought to myself "What will go wrong today with this baler?".

The answer to my question was the mechanical tying mechanism.

After a long dialog of words that would make George Carlin blush, back to the shop for the Krone 125 back-up baler.

Although the wind rows were made wider and higher for the Krone 260, the smaller Krone 125 managed to get the job done.

This was the best quality of hay for a first cutting ever with 13 4x4 bales off 7 acres.

I will say again that I have all the respect in the world for you folks that do custom hay baling.

If I had to do this for a living I would starve to death!.

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
