someone got up too early?

I'm not looking for "THE" answer. Just looking for advice. I do talk with all of my neighbors. However in this area most are making round bales of alfafa for dairy and NOT small squares of grass for horses. They don't use very old equipment on such a small scale either.

Purchased equipment at auction for in case my current custom farmer stops helping me. He has plenty of other work at his farm so traveling a few miles to town to make my 20 acres of hay is NOT a high priority for him.....

My sheep the grass on the ground, I am baling excess to make money from horse owners.

Don't worry about it. We get some cranks around here. The sickle mower is not rocket science. Mine sticks out on the right side and I mow in a circular clockwise fashion with the guards just up from level until I do the last row, then raise them higher. Side delivery rakes come in left AND right orientation. Once again, the direction is going to be pretty clear to you once you get out there. Leave the hay to dry in the swath until you are certain it is ready but more importantly until there is NO chance of rain. I then rake just before lunch and bale in the afternoon and load and sell it until dark. As long as you don't bale green/wet hay you will be alright and learn as you go.
