I got a new hay trailer. Red Rhino 32' gooseneck. Pics attached.

Looks like you're all set for this coming hay season. Now all you need is fertilizer and rain.

Getting close - waiting on my mower.

Man, we are so wet I can't get in the pasture.

I need to figure out my fertilizer - thanks for reminding me.

Tell me about it, walking in cetain parts of the pasture is like walking on a water bed. I got 30 acres fertilized last Wednesday, and I have my tractor in the shop getting the clutch and steering system repaired to the tune of $5,000 for the fertilize and repairs total. I just hope I can recoup some of my losses this hay season.

Does this trailer dump the hay? There appears to be some mechanism above the axles. Even if it doesn't, it looks pretty sweet. I am used to bale wagons that the bales are loaded sideways with a tractor and unloaded by pulling an individual lever for each bale cradle.

I am not sure when I should put fertilizer out. Won't matter for awhile - it will be way too wet for a while.

Yes - it dumps to the right. All the bales at one time.

That sure is purty

I ain't seen a hay trailer in a long time in any other color than rust.

Wish I was wet.... dry, dry, dry here. Gonna be a drought soon if we don't get rain... Good looking trailer.... I know it will be handy. I have a 5 bale hauler too.... dumps one bale at a time... unless you undo each handle and start one rolling off, then most of the time the others will tip off, too.

I bought in rust so I won't look so old.

Where are you located? Big storms coming tonight.

Am in Jarrell/Georgetown... north of Austin... Williamson County... as yet, Radar shows no rain within about 10 counties of us... we'll see.. lately, threats of rain have resulted in .1 to .5 inches at best, and that infrequently.
