First, I really suspect someone is doing a whole lot of leg pulling!


Second...if this isn't leg pulling, rather than being time to give advice to retreat back to the city...it's time to give advice that he hooks up with an experienced local farmer to cut & bale his fields for a couple years. Watch what he does (they'll know what works well locally). Work on his baling crew on your property and other fields he does.

Even if you end up using different tools in the end yourself (sickle & tedding v. conditioning), you'll at least know the basics pretty good.

Seems to me that'd be a better use of the time to learn haying.

Then again, all I can do is stack hay pretty well. They don't let me near the haybine :)

May I suggest if you haven't done so go back to the first post and start from there and read this little saga all the way through. Then come back and tell us daddyj was treated badly. Good advice was given, good advice was rejected, with what I took to be an in your face attitude. Daddyj would have some hay on the ground already and would have experienced the satisfaction of accomplishing something knew if he would have dumped that (show them guys at the filling station) attitude. Instead he chose to bring that attitude to this board.

Thanks for your help and if one leg gets longer you can always build the heel up. daddyj

I agree. He has to learn somehow, and I doubt any of us were born with the knowledge of how to cut and bale hay. Someone taught us, and I know my dad worked me over a few times while I learned. I moved off the farm when I was 19, and lived in the "city" for several years (even though it was just a small town of about 3500). A couple years ago I finally got enough of town living and moved back to the old place. Last year I had a "punk" tell me I needed to 'go back to the #&%&ing city' while riding a dirt bike on my property, and that I had no right telling "the locals" what they can or cannot do. What he did not realize was that I was the 4th generation in my family who owned that property, and that I was working on that land he was standing on before he was born. I showed him the way to the road, and told him not to return. This kind of made me realize that I should not judge someone by what you initially see.
