I really got hay fever already and i still have 6 months till Hay Making time. I just recently got a lot of older used hay equipment. I will be using my DK 50 HST for the whole process more then likely on my 10 ac. Also helping a neighbor on roughly 25 ac. Which he will be using his tractors also. I ran my DK 50 this year for making a little hay w/ a 2nd and 3rd cutting. This is all new to me and i just can't stop thinking about next year.
This is the list of equipment i got so far in the last few months. New Holland 1469 SP Haybine , NH 479 Haybine, NH 68 Hayline, NH 269 Hayliner, NH 56 rake, and a H&S 8 Tedder. All totaling $3400. I think i did pretty good reason i i ended up with an extra baler the SP haybine was 269 was only 400 bucks w/ a kicker and SP haybine was only 500.
Just wondering if any other Kioti owners love making hay w/ there Kioti's. I would like to consider a bigger tractor if we make a few extra bucks on the hay from my neighbors property. Hoping to get 2500 bales or so off his 25 ac in first cutting duno if that will happen or not. They took 200 big squares first cut last year i'm not sure but was told that's like 3k in small bales.
This is all new to me so im in for a big learning experience but i think i can handle it. I know i'm just rambling on but just nice to hear from ya all.
Happy New Years to All
