Bale Handling

Old Hickory:

Here is a "dusty" picture. The a.c. is going full blast and the radio has a good country station tuned in.

Daryl, after last years season that has brought back some bad memories. Rain till almost July and baling until late October. I am just now getting over it. Sure is a better picture than the tailgate up and someones legs sticking out cussing and tugging. BTW good looking rig.

I honestly never helped put up hay with a tractor with a/c. Looks like with the wind direction and the dust the cab really is a plus,not to mention staying cool and being a lot quieter inside.
Do the a/c filters plug up much ?

Old Hickory:

If you want qiet times while making hay this is how it was done in some places. Made for better quality hay except for the cap. Was a lot less labor intensive than the small square bales too.

Baling hay kind of gets in your blood. As a kid, growing up in Ohio,bucking squares was the only way to make REAL money.
The attachment shows how I do it today.

Where the air conditioner/radio/and cup holder at ? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

The AC comes from the breeze blowing by evaporating sweat, the cup holder is right beside the canvas water bag and the horseflies buzzing by provide the music.

As usual your posts are my favorite on the site Egon! Tell it like it is and was but with a humorous touch.

Doc:

I honestly think those old methods resulted in better hay and definetly less work than them silly small square bales.

That's why CowboyDoc are into rounds. "Them" silly squares are a pain in the butt.

Problem is, squares are a better value for me, when sold. I guess as long as we have the extraneous labor, we will still make them.
