Finally, I think I'm ready to start haying. All rigs have oil changed, fluids checked, greased, loaded with twine, and inspected. Was going to start tomorrow, but it rained a touch here today, I guess I'll probably wait till Friday.

I see three balers and one mower. So do you have a short window to bale in or a few more mowers somewhere. Have you ever tried a discbine? If not I STRONGLY suggest you do. Just be sure to put at least 150 horses to it and you can really chow through some hay, standing, down, tall, and totally wet, doesn't matter. Keep the pics coming when you do get rolling!

No, just one mower, and three balers. I can only bale in the morning when there is dew, so probably a 4 hour baling window. Running all 3 balers I can bale 60 acres a morning with out working that hard. In the afternoon I can cut 60 acres with that mower, so it works out just perfect. I hear a lot about disc mowers, and I've considered one. Just old fashioned I guess.

You bale when there IS dew! Man what a different world you live in out there. Here we have to wait for the dew to burn off then wait for the hay to get dry enough to do anything with, usually can't start baling till noon o'clock. Well maybe 1pm since our worthless governor MITCH DANIELS adopted daylight savings time here. Then it gets too tough again about 7 or 8. Waiting for the dew to bale! LOL! That would get you sent to the asylum here!

Hi Joe,

Yep, we are totally backwards from you folks. "Haybarns" are almost unheard of in this arid country; we just park it outside. Doesn't hurt the hay a bit.

The picture shows what happens when ya don't wait for the dew before you bale. Look under the baler. It just grinds it up into powder.

Edible beans are harvested the same way. Cut and windrowed when the dew is on. Otherwise, they will shell out while being worked.

Don't kid yourself.

If your putting up 750 acres of irrigated hay X 3 cuttings X small square bales, you've already got it down to a fine art.

I think ya ought to write a darned book on the subject. :>)

It'd be a boring book I'll guarantee you that. Thanks for the vote of confidence, somedays I question what I've got myself into. How's the dryland farming going? Ready to get the crop just good enough to produce something just to see it hailed out? Ah the joys of working the land.

Is all of it stacked outside,can't do that where i am at,was thinking of doing it and tarping but you lose so much of the bottm rows. Is your bottom rows wotrht anything when yiou retreive them. i run accumulator system instead sheds aren't big enought for stack wagon and way to much running for the 100 it would hold. Ar eyou still runnign the two string or is those the three string balers. Thatys wht way to do it in my eyes also but accumulator works better for me. Ha dJohn Deere balers. Now Have New Holladn And found out really should have kept green paint instead. Live learn.

Yeah, its all stacked outside. Two string bales. I tarp some of it, but not near all of it. Most of it goes out of state somewhere to horse boarding facilities, or feed shops. The bottom bales are fine, sometimes I have to feed the top tier of bales. When you only have 14" of moisture a year, and half comes as snow that blows off the stack you get away with things most don't.

Its a 3 wide balewagon. I put only a 2 wide tier on the top of the stack. Ties it together and keeps any water we do get from running straight down the cracks of the stack. No need to rake here.

Doing 750 acres of hay, so most likely 100,000-110,000 bales this year. Alfalfa, alfalfa/grass and straight grass. Sell a bigger share of it to the horse market. I feed up only what gets rained on, or otherwise damaged and loses value.

Wow, you can chomp a lot of hay if you have enough drivers. Now tell me, I assume this is alfalfa? When you you bale the most of your hay, afer midnight or before noon?

Is that a trick question? Isn't after midnight before noon anyways? I don't bale in the dark, if I don't have to. I check the hay at about 4-4:30 if it's dry enough to bale I wake my crew. Sometimes I'll have to wait till 9ish or there about to let the dew burn off some if it was heavy. This is Alfalfa, Alfalfa/Grass, and straight grass, and I've learned its better to bale a touch dry then damp. Horse people can learn to deal with a bit of leaf shatter, but mold is something they don't deal well with.

Always interesting how it is done in different areas. Here in Minnesota, we beg & plead for that dern dew to burn off so we can bale a few hours in the afternoon. Until 6:00pm, when the dew comes back & ruins it.

I hear ya Paul. I grew up in NW PA and know what is is to try to get hay dry. Out here it gets too dry. I seldom bale in the heat of the day. That time is for mowing.
