The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

[LouNY]

I have several Oak and Walnuts that like to scare the heck out of you either while walking or in a tractor or truck.

Momentum is building! Baled another 20-25 acres today.
I love this spot. It’s above the “body bag” field (where the bodies were dumped). I love the little stone spring house and the lilly pond. All this has been here for hundreds of years. Sorry about the glass reflections in the photo.

Believe it or not, this is a pretty steep hill with some difficult ditches.

This part can be soft. It’s below the lily pond. Previous guy got his tractor & baler stuck here real bad. It’s nice & dry now.

Finished up and heading back to another field down the road.
Plenty of branches that need a sever cutting-back to deal with. Notice the rock outcroppings on the right. I lost a baler tire on my previous square baler to those rocks. Ripped the sidewall off the tire and bent the rim. $3,000 in damage.

Below: Absolutely NO place to go here. Guardrail on the other lane and ZERO road shoulder. I’m over the yellow lines a bit. Worst is when you get a woman driving a school bus coming at ya.

Hey, I didn’t build the roads, I just drive on them, right???

I like those kinds of roads. Good reminders to other drivers to pay attention.

Other day met my relative on the road. I had 15ft Cultimulcher and he had his big CaseIH with duals spreading manure. We were ditch to ditch passing each other. State police behind me got a good learning experience on what they might find in the country and the difficulties with narrow rural roads.
