Last year we purchased 15 ac. and I had a local farmer till and seed 12ac. for hay. For this year I will have the same farmer cut, rake and bale the hay for me either 50/50 or pay him since we will only get one cutting and we need enough hay to get us to the next year for our horses. Would like to use the next year to begin looking for haying equipment so hopefully next year I can do it myself. It has been many years, but when I was very young a friend and I custom baled hay every year so I have experience, will just have to dig through the cobwebs in my brain to pull it all back. Also, have many friends who farm who will be there to help me get started.
Want at some point to get a bigger tractor, but for now looking for suggestions on what equipment I should look for that my current 26HP tractor can handle. Flat ground, no hills. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
