Second Cutting?

mred2 · Oct 10, 2022

My hay guy is done for the year here in Alabama. He has some really good hay this year. Very dry here right now.
Friend in Arkansas wanted another cutting but no rain. They are done with the year with not as much hay.

Stuck in traffic (train) heading home from finishing some second cutting.
Hope to finish second and start 3rd cutting next week. Lime underway, too.

Well that sure looks like it's the wrong time of day to be on the road! Happens sometimes though. I had to look twice at the rear of the car in front of you, thought at first maybe you had "nudged" him along, then realized it's just the way his rear end is shaped! Good luck with your second cuttings and the lime.

No, we usually get three cuttings. Dodging rain and all. I'm sure we could do four if we wanted to. Kind like fine wine, we'll cut no hay before it's time.

I'm interested in the front mount mower. I see pics from the cab, but never anything but what can be seen from the operator station. What is the cutting rig? We don't even have shoes in Arkansas much less fancy front mount equipment.
