Cold snowy December day makes you yearn for those Hot summer hay makin days.:laughing:

Thanks for sharing. I can almost smell the grass. Love working outside with big tractors in a field.

Such pics do bring back dog days of summer,but brisk autumn air sure puts spring in the old step.

Thanks for all of the comments! I am going to try to post some more. They are from the last couple of summers. I have rented a 648 4x5 and 658 4x6 New Holland round balers. Like both very well. I had a chance to buy a nice used 1465 Gehl 4x5 and it makes a very nice tight bale as well.

It is alfalfa/orchard grass mix. It has some timothy also. It was first cuttin and a bit over grown. Made some small squares and mostly round. A few more pics.

Nice looking bales.:thumbsup: I like the JD equipment as well. Your tractor and baler are in very good shape!

The best memories of my childhood come from the hayfields. Smell of fresh hay is in the top three favorite smells. MikeD74T

Mowing and baling with a 4430. I can hear it sucking the fuel down from here.

It is bit better on fuel than the ole IH1466 I had. It is one sweet driving tractor though.

Memories from my childhood of making hay is one of the reasons I started making hay again. My oldest son has been raking and driving baler for a couple of years now and helps load and unload wagons. He sure appreciated when we got the Kioti. He had raked a couple of years with a Farmall M. he now understands the difference between armstrong steering and power steering.:laughing:

Here the Kioti pulling the baler. I will try to find some older hay makin pics with the NH68 baler and Oilver77, JD50 and many more.

Seems like not that long ago we were bailing as well. We are kind of a low tech operation but we get by.
