Hi,
Completely ignorant here other than reading the following article which seemed very informative: Haying FAQ
I'll be dozing a few acres of low value timber and brush (in NE Ohio) to open up a field that I'm going to use to make hay or just lease to local farmer for crops. If I go the haying route...
1. What is meant by "running gear" and what advantages are provided (for my very small scale) over say taking a mobile home frame and axles that I have available for free and converting to hay wagon? I'll be pulling with 34HP Kubota w/ FEL and loaded tires over mostly flat terrain.
2. If that mobile home conversion is even a good idea, anyone have link to plans or pics?
3. If not, how can I judge a good/fair deal on a used wagon?
Thanks!
