Savage weather for it. All the haylage nearly in. Yielded 7 bales to the acre. Savage bit of feeding in every bale!

Never on a dyno, but feels
like 125 plus. Those Cummins are a lovely engine. Had to swop the injection pump for an agri spec one and a few other bits and bobs .

Have a 5150 plus for 13 years, needed a starter alternator and a couple of track rod ends in that time.

All machinery is owned three ways- tractors owned by each member of ring 2, on each farm

what do you guys need sheds for?

Provide shade?

RobinBanks · 10-07-2013 08:09AM

First time making hay. I suppose with the weather it would have being impossible not to get good hay!

Last pic is a bzb bull calf. Was praying for a heifer because his mother has to be culled. Not as good as the other bzb calves shown here earlier but he might turn out to be a nice bullock some day.

Thats it alright, out on Long Beach in New York. Worked there for a summer and drove that tractor everyday raking the beach. Spent a couple of days serving at that bar too, drank more than most of the punters though!!

Great first attempt! The grass looks very clean to me. Great looking stuff. You can never really rest till the small square bales are in a shed.

That is a good idea. Only thing is by the time I'd have it built it'd be raining

Did you ever make it out to the tip of Long Island, Montauk? I worked there for a summer, on a J1 visa. Best time of my life. Handing out beach towels and putting up beach umbrellas for overweight americans. The brother met John Gottty, the mafia boss, there once.

In fairness with the weather I hadn't much work to do! Cut last Sunday morn, shook that evening, shook twice on Monday. Wine-rowed Tuesday afternoon and baled Tuesday evening. The grass was very clean alright but it was sprayed earlier in the year for docks. It was very bad with them.

There was allot of sap in the bales but the oul fella came out to look and said he used to fill the hay shed years ago with hay in that condition and it didn't heat.

We have a slated house now though and I read a post from someone here to put them in there for a while to season. I will leave them out for as long as I can though.
