You get the baler?
I got to figure out if LIME is the best thing for me to invest in this year. What's you yalls opinion on getting my production out on a field?
A good soil test holds all the answers. Ken Sweet

having to go through the wiring on the baler an fix the frayed wires an make sure the others are good.getting a heat gun so we can keep a check on the bearings.an really trying to clean it up.
Do you guys pressure wash yalls balers?
Got a quote for lime 2 years ago... $438/ton! Yep... that'll make you pucker! Haven't done it yet -- likely gonna have to -- fertilizer dropped about $25/ton this year to... $815/ton but with $32/ton shipping added in; 'bout the same as last year.

Lime is always a good investment for acid soils. Unless you live in Alaska! How much a ton, spread???
I have a 457 baler I bought new 7-8 years ago. Added a high moisture kit last year and got into baleage. Your new baler sounds like a big job for your tractor but as long as you don't have a bunch of ground to cover it should be ok. Would be cool to get a report on how a 5075 M runs it.
I need to pay my fertilizer bill in the next 10 days or so. I'm planning to ask about Ag lime prices with shipping at that time. If it's not too crazy expensive, I'm gonna bundle a few tons of lime with the fertilizer shipment. I'll let you know what the final cost per ton is at that time.
The shipping has gone up $3/ton since I wrote my last post... now, it's $35/ton to have everything shipped 175 miles from Anchorage down here.
Aaaarrggghh..
