Not here, he said rain all week and so far not one drop has come down here hense why I'm taking this gamble of waiting till tomorrow. But any other year it holds true cause that's usually the only weather they do get right.

That's good news corey. No rain here for awhile,getting it up before grasshoppers destroy what little bit left. Finished a 20acre pasture yesterday made 18rolls,I hated even to cut it but had to make that second time cutting for tax purpose,one more left for the year to get done. I have messed my cutter up and belt on baler,time to stop and get some much needed maintance done on everything. I had to hire and buddies dad to cut the last two pastures,and when I get off work got out and bale the evenings. Next year,things got to change,I'm turning 34 aug.10th and feeling like an old man and have a 25year old wife to keep up with

Yep, popped one bale out and is a tad too wet (morning dew and high humidity.) I know what you mean, I'm 34 and feel the same way.

Finally got the 20 acres cut and baled. Wife and I did 92 4x5 bales. Glad I finally got it baled. Too tired to move today, do that tomorrow.

I know but it should have been cut weeks ago. But with the rain, couldn't. I don't like baling when it's that thick, scared of clogging baler. I had good luck, no clogs.

My 64pto HP got a work out in the thick stuff and was just running in 4low taking my time instead of trying to run flat out,not worth taking chance of something going south. That 85u probably don't even know its back there...
