Performed perfectly didn’t even clean the straw out of it last fall or clean the knotters and a bird made a nest under the knotter shield . Greased it last night and cleaned the knotters and put it to work broke two bales one after it shoved the two hundred pound straw bale out and one after I shoved it a little to fast got two more little fields I need to bale then I’ll clean it out grease it and park so it isn’t sitting with old hay in it until next time

Someone is a bit optimistic about the baler capacities I’d say 542 bales an hour would take perfect conditions I’d think

Took 83 bales off the field 1,92 ton to the acre dryland bales averaged 65 pounds each

1.40 I think . Little field I plowed for a guy a couple years ago and he Finally got something planted in it and got it to grow . Getting ready to do an 80 acre piece for him that I plowed 2 years ago and then he just let it sit going to take a lot of work to get ir shaped up to a seed bed almost be easier to plow it again then work it down

For my limited understanding of dryland farming, that's a pretty good outcome for a little over an acre. What kind of grass is it?

That’s an amazing outcome anything over a 1/4 ton Is pretty good especially down in this end of the valley up in the higher country you’ll get a lot more moisture and it’s cooler things really grow there
