i started driving atractos at age 9 , get someone with experence to help you, those older farmers are alyays glad to help someone with a intrest in farming , its alot of hard work and the equipment is dangerous, the PTO will grab you in a second, and can wrap you up , (i have a friend with 1 hand) be very careful around moving parts, my rule is turn off the pto when i get off the tractor. ive been running tractors 25 years and have had some very close calls.when you are very tired is when you can get hurt easy. we have to push it very hard during hay season, and i almost got hurt last year during a 20+ hour day. when you get tired go to the house.

Whether your 13 or 53 hay is a lot of hard work and very dependent on weather. If you've never been around farming or making hay I think I'd suggest something else. If you decide to go ahead with hay I'd suggest getting some help from someone who's done it before. Also remember the machinery involved can be dangerous (to the point where people have been killed) unless you know what you're doing and know how to use it safely. You're the only one who knows the answers to the above thoughts.

i'm 14 and doing hay with an NAA and a 8' swather on 2 10 acre plots which is 40 acres a summer plus anybody in our church who needs help mowing or baleing but bales get heavy after the first 5 but after 30 you've got it made. Where do you live?

It would be difficult for us to say 'yes go ahead' - it depends a lot upon you. Also, with child labor laws & a sue-happy country, hard for us to tell a 13 year old to go work! :) It is nice to hear you want to try! :) :) :) :)

I think with some supervision & help from your dad it could work out.

How do you plan to harvest it? How do you plan to sell it? If you have a plan, and some supervision for operating the mechanical stuff that can hurt you, it could work out. Tell us your plan, that is the important part! :)
