Cut and tedded a little hay today. Should have cut yesterday, weather forecast was thunderstorms, they never materialized.
Hay had some lodging in places as you can see from some lumpy areas. The Hesston 1110 did a good job of pulling up/in most of the lodged
hay via the reel. Let it set for for a while and then tedded everything with the New Holland 156. Sickle drive rebuild on the Hesston was
expensive, but I could hear the tractor engine at full throttle, previously, the sickle drive sounded like a machine gun.
The 2 basket Tedder and 7ft mower conditioner delivers the mail, but are slow. I'd like to move one of these days to a 4 basket Tedder and a
disc mower conditioner at some point.
All in all a very good day!
