rolled up 98 more bales todat till it got to dry around 4 o'clock so i had to quit. i use an 855 new holland and always brag that i can start a bale "anytine anywhere" so it hurts me to have to eat crow. So i am still scratching and have more left for tomorrow. But at least i don't have to milk the cows. (oh, by the way the wind was out of the south today) same eyes, same dirt, different direction.

Try this one, I baled about a 1,000 one afternoon, 40 years ago from a thresher pile, forking it all into baler. Had a baler with thrower and 4 wagons , loaded all wagons and then just work way around pile letting thrower throw bales clear. Some scratching involved in that one.

I didn't mind the pitch fork as I was only 23 years old back then. I was given the pile of straw and wanted get it baled before it got rained on and settled or just plain settled. They had threshed the day before and straw was nice and loose, kept falling down over me. I got home from this had a shower, milked 40 cows, had another shower and at midnight I filled the bathtub and poured some salt in water, that cured it. After that I ran the other way when offered wheat straw.

My hats off to you Hugh.
I think you would be hard pressed to find many that would work that hard these days.
My Grandfather was a man like that. If it needed doing... Well guess what we are gona do?
My self I'd like to think I am a hard worker, but I know I could never hold a candle to how hard my Grandparents worked.
At the place I am doing the 10 acres of oats hay there is a nice field of alfalfa just waiting (been waiting a wile) to be harvested.

The guy renting the field came out to investigate this crazy man driving up and down the field road every night till dark in a old H.
We talked for a wile and I got the feeling he was worried about his rental status ( same owner as the field I am doing).
He said hmmmm I better get the wife off her butt and get this field going.
Sure enough Sat his wife was out all day humpin the field.
Obviously I dont know the whole story. He might be working some where else, most do these days.
Just seemed strange to me.

Kelly: Actually that baleing day on wheat straw was with (you guessed it) Farmall 300, NH Super 69 hayliner and thrower. I loaded 4 wagons, then threw rest on ground. My dad came along late in afternoon with truck and a crew of young guys he nabed somewhere getting off work. They gathered bales on ground and took a wagon behind each trip. I drove home on tractor with baler and milked the cow. My dad in his semi-retirement had a light dump truck and was always doing hauling for people. He closely monitored what I was up to and was the greatest guy to show up with a labor crew about 3, 4 or 5 pm. He was always doing little landscaping jobs in community, so his only charge was my front end loader when he needed it. It was a good deal.

Awhile back you mentioned I couldn't get through a post without mentioning that Farmall 300. I was 13 years old when my dad bought the 300 new. It was around for 35 years. Not often you have an association with something or someone for 35 years. Heck my good wife and I just surpassed 38 years in June. I bought a 85 Chevy 3/4 ton 6.2 diesel when it was about a year old. I drove it and drove it while everyone else had them blow up. After 15 years and 1/2 million miles the frame of truck broke behind cab. I sold the truck in 2001 and the new owner came with one of those tilt bed car haulers to get it. Apparently I was watching loading proceedure quite seriously and the tilt bed operator said to new owner, "he's going to cry on us seeing this old truck going down road on car hauler." There were certain machines I did get attached too. My 656 and offset Farmalls fit in there to.
