5525 Cutting Hay Pics

[flusher]

What is funny is we are practically in the middle of the city. Houses all around us except by the bigger hay pasture - still crop land.

It is amazing what you can do with these smaller tractors. Many people told me I was crazy to do what all that i do with a 5000 series tractor.

Nice rig. Glad to hear that your equipment is working OK and productivity is high.

Yeah - fire extinguisher. When it is really dry baling hay - I have caught this pasture on fire a couple times. Rocks in the mower sparking things off. I am hoping it will be better now with the grass being thicker, etc.

I should patent that mount. It works with the same extinguisher that is on my baler.

Also - they are oats. Wild oats - cows love them and the protein content is always great.

Are you gonna put it all into big round bales? Maybe give that new square baler a test-run?

I hear ya on the spread of houses... if you're close enough to get back and forth to work - they'll come... We get calls about selling!! :thumbdown:

Will be baling with my JD 467 round baler. 4' wide and 65" tall.

Going to pick up the 34 square baler next Saturday. So, this hay will be rolled up by then. The 346 is going straight to the dealer to get checked out before it comes to my place.

So, 2nd cutting we will run some squares.
