Hay Making Pics

[blueriver]

Hows the Branson working out? I looked seriously at a 5530.

It was a bank repo with 280 hrs, now has about 410 hrs. At this point I really enjoy it ... I like the extra HP and really like the console control panel with the "one touch" hyd's as well, all the controls are at your finger tips on the right hand side. Nice machine. A better a/c than the Montana.

Beautiful country! Looks like a lot bales stacked there.
It sometimes takes a snow to motivate some in our area that that may want to buy some hay. First snow and I get 2 calls form new customers. All hay looks good when the ground is white and temps are in the single digits.

Thanks for posting the pics!

here a few of mine,cockshutt 1855 and old vermeer 605D.
other 1855 on the NH 114 hay bine

Nice 1855's. Looks like they have the fender tanks. We see that style in my area only it is Oliver green. The Vermeer still makes a pretty good looking bale. :thumbsup:

Nice tractor.:thumbsup: I looked at a Branson. We have a good Branson dealer in the state but he is 3hrs hrs away and the Kioti dealer was only 7 miles away. My JD 4430 has console controls and they are handy.

Same tractors,cockshutt is canadian build,oliver is US build.Yes, saddle tanks,50 gal all 3 full,one can cut or bale a 1/4 section with fuel to spare.

That vermeer has so many mods,even vermeer himself wouldn't recognise it

Man it's 18 degrees here, that made me a little warmer. Remembering cutting, raking, baling, and don't forget stacking in someones loft that they didn't tell you about. I would get so mad at my folks when they would send us boys out to put 300 square bales in somebodies barn, get there and they want it in the loft. But I wouldn't trade it for anything now. But I sure did like selling rounds right out of the field.

First snow of the year and I can't wait till it starts getting green again.

Anybody that's cold, just think about picking up all these bales.

After that weekend the crew said they would quit if I didn't find another way. so off to the shop I went. Little bit of angle, some sheet metal and a few nuts and bolts--no more picking bales up off the ground.

I would make hay all summer in 100 degree heat if I could do it where there is a view like that. You know, I'd do it in shorts so the pricklies got my legs too. That shot with the mountains in the back is great!

A few from a job we did.
about 30 acres through 7 fields, 1300 bales. Ran 4 wagons 2 unloaded while 2 baled.
1 guy raked ahead of the baler then helped to unload.
