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

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.

What kind of hay is that. Looks healthy. Ken Sweet

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.:D

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:IMG_3301 (800x450).jpg

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