    Success :D, baled last evening and just as well. Light dust of rain here this morning. Yesterday wasn't much of a day for hay but well fit last evening. Must make room in the barn now.

    Well done PN. What day did u cut. See a neighbours still down. Not fit yet. I'd say he may take the bit of rain that coming over the weekend and wait for the couple of good days next Monday or Tuesday

    Cut early monday. Wasn't particularly heavy crop only got a sprinkling of 0-10-20 in early april no nitrogen so no heavy butt to dry out. Also field is on an exposed site with no boundary ditches the sun & breeze on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday really made a job of it. I wasn't expecting to get it till this evening when I cut but after turning yesterday there was not point leaving it another day. Just as well with a light mist this morning. Neighbours baled yesterday as well on a similar exposed field couple of fields away also cut Monday. Others around in more shaded fields weren't fit to bale looks like it will be Sunday / Monday now before they get it with some showers forecast for today/tomorrow.

    Not great hay weather, how long before someone starts a thread about big bales heating.

    But Jesus, as if small squares aren't bad enough, but small squares bales without a sleigh... :(

    Went you operate a square baler in light crops gg then you'll understand

    When you have three hours to rake 4 acres and bale 150 bales including a 40 min round trip to the yard. I don't think it's too bad ;)

    Big difference in mowing with a modern machine and picking up really dry short grass with a 40 year old pickup ;)
