Question. I have about 8-9 acres of clover planted in food plots way back in the woods. I cut it with the 9N tractor 2-4 times a summer. I was wondering if there is some way I could bale it and save it for the winter feeding of deer, using my 9N tractor. Would appreciate any comments and suggestions. Ron

If upper Michigan means the UP where I live, the deer will eat Baled anything when there's 18 to 36 inches of snow covering the ground. They spend the summers eating the gardens around here. I don't know why your ford wouldn't handle a small baler, just take it easy

I don't think I have to tell you that if you are in the TB zone you'll get in serious trouble feeding hay to deer in winter. Yes, they'll eat it as a matter of fact they come right up to my barns and eat it. They have also learned, right quickly, how to poke holes in sileage bags to get to the feed inside.

When I first started looking into baling some hay I was told the N-series Ford did not have the horsepower to run a baler. Since then I have heard of people baling hay with an N and an engine powered baler. That way all the tractor has to do is pull the baler, no hp needed like with a pto baler.

Deer will only eat the finest quality alfalfa. If a deer eats your alfalfa, then you did a fine job of putting it up. Excellent quality only!

Tell that to the deer around here. During the winter its nothing to see up to 20 deer in my hay stack. Big problem suppling hay for horse, cows and the deer.

Ya got that right. I put out some really nice grass hay and it layed there all winter, deer wouldn't touch it. Elk either for that matter.

Baled grass, maybe not, but baled alfalfa, that they'll eat, especially if there's snow on the ground. BTW, there is an elk farm near me (yes, that's right, an elk farm in New Jersey. There's a bison farm too, but I digress . . .) that feeds round bales of grass hay, and the elk do eat it. But they are penned in, so not much choice.
