How old is that hayrake?

Is it 3pt mounted?

I have never seen one like that before.

Not quite as old as dirt, but **** near close! :)

It is 3-point mounted. We use a NH rake that is very similar except TSC'c prices on the teeth are much cheaper for this rake so it sees most of the use. My partner uses a Ford tractor so most of his implements gets painted blue over time...one of these days when I have some MF red in the gun I'll get it looking good again... ;)

Frogive my ignorance, but why does everyone drop the bales on the ground?:confused:

Good Afternoon Duffster,
Darn good question ! I just helped the local farmer bring 800 small squares last week and after loading and unloading all those bales my 58 yr old back tells me a kicker and haywagon would be a better deal ! :rolleyes:

Nice rake.
Mine is a JD350, also 3pt mounted. Got it last year for $800. Came with new teeth all round. Works fine.

When I have people that want to buy hay I ask them how many bales they want... Then I will leave that many laying on the ground, and they will bring their trucks & trailers & load it themselves...A lot of people do it that way, and you can get hay cheaper if you load it out of the field yourself.

If I have hay already put up in my barns and someone wants to buy hay, then I charge more because I loaded it out of the field myself and stacked it in the barn.

Nice rake!

$800 is a great price.

We have yet to cut any, and I only know of a couple folks who have done some. We haven't had 3 days w/o precip. for over 50 days now. The fields are so wet even if we get a 3 day window we can't cut. Price is going up every day for what hay there is around here.
