Duffster Making Hay Pics

A few pics from making hay from the last few days.

Beautiful country out there. Love to drive through that area, seeing huge fields and open spaces is so different from here.

Stupid question, we do small bales, no large ones. What's the tank on the large baler?

The tank has Propionic Acid for a hay preservative.

The hay has to be extremely dry for these kind of bales since they are so tight and dense. But it is hard to get it that dry some days.

nice pics, around my area very few people bale the large squares, mostly small sq's and rounds. i sure wish i could live out your way nice big fields and open country, beats living in the so called country here, and trying to farm around "suburbia". is that older jd a 4020? i used to run one on the dairy i worked at as a teen, although yours is much nicer.

Its a 4000, but basically the same thing as a 4020.

Great photos.
Your small square baler looks a lot like my MF-124.

We had a 124 before this one.

The biggest improvement is the variable speed hydraulic drive for the thrower.

Duffster--You have cute kids. Your corn looks real good, the rain must have come at the right times.

Thanks.

We have had plenty of rain for the most part so it should have been here at the right time.
