Yep fix it. I can't stand having stuff missing or cobbed together with baling twine...

Been down on my back for 2 weeks, so I haven't kept up much with your thread BR, but coming home from the Doctors office yesterday, I saw round bales at the feed store for $105!! I wasn't aware it was that high in N Texas yet. I have seen more hay in the fields the 1st cutting here than I saw all of last year.

Sorry to hear about the back .... Seems as the price is going up ... I'm thinking before spring it will be higher. I saw square bales of bermuda on CL for $13

It would be nice to have a few thousand squares put up, this Fall it will only go up.

question, how much hay do you guys bale a year? in tons please my bailing days were in the small kicker bales. I helped out several local farmers for hunting rights all they had was the kicker bales that we had to stack in the top of the barns in 100 degree temps.

We are pretty small at this point. This year We'll do about 250 1200# bales. Last year we sprigged most of our fields in coastal and Midland 99 and fields still filling in.

Between the rounds and the squares about 410 tons of hay. I fell a little short of my goal.

Well I baled the folks 30acres today my father said its just gonna burn up whats there. It sucked hated raking(took like 10 passes to make a windrow) and baling by myself to make 15 bales.I personally wonted to turn cows in on it and top it off was my birthday. It was so dusty couldnt even see hay going into baler,tomorrow I have lots of cleaning to do and blow out some filters......

Oh that gathering wheel,I ran it like it was and by the time I got finished it had like 4 rubber teeth left. I think im done for the year anyways but cant complain we have 122(5x4's) bales put up between mine and the folks,beat the **** out of last years 31.....Hope all is well guys
