The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

[Hay Dude]

My son mowing a field for me this morning.

Later today, I opened up one of the larger fields in my hay field portfolio.

Thanks. Yeah he’s a strong big kid.

Does your son work with you full time?

 

[Hay Dude]

No he graduated college in May '23 and instantly got a HA teaching job, so I have him working for me during the summer.

Getting into baling some of the bigger fields now…

Following my son, raking. It’s dry. Really dry here.

Roading to the next field..

Baling a pretty large field. You can see my son off in the distance raking

Rare shot of all 3 machines in one spot.

It's good that your son gets to work with you. I only got to work along side my Dad on a few occasions (at his actual job). It was brutal work, but still good times I'll never forget.

Get that second rear mower for next season and you'll be all set. Those triples sure do cover some acres in a day.

Looking at your well-maintained equipment and quality of operation, if the son shares your enthusiasm for this kind of work, you're going to need another and much bigger barn. Win-win.

Didn't you have a Case tractor on the Krone before?
