Maintenance......Why bother????

Some things in life just ain't fair.......... :roll:

I try my best to keep care of my stuff (when I can remember where it is)..Clean/maintain it before I put it away instead of before I use it. rented a place to park under roof, yadda yadda.........

Run a few bales thru the baler and it stops tieing, little things happen to the mower, tedder, rake....... Makes you believe in devine intervention when the big guy gives you a sign that you should just sell your stuff and buy your hay..............

Got a neighbor that parks his stuff in a corner of the field when finished and grabs it when he needs it... Mower, baler, tedder, everything just setting with weeds growing up thru it. Had someone roll his hay a couple years so the baler just sat there and had a tree growing up in front of it....... He hooked the tractor to it day before yesterday and baled about 300 bales then put it back where he got it.......
Looking at it, it looks like the only time he opens anything up is when he puts in new twine.......

Guess some folks are just lucky that way..........

Done now...
 
I know exactly how you feel!! The knotter brake on the baler slipped last year and broke both the needles. Found a used set of needles and got the baler working good again. Baled the first 20 or so bales and it skipped one, baled 3 more and skipped. To make a long story short, I borrowed the neighbors baler to finish up. I think it would be cheaper to buy hay for my 3 beefers, but I really enjoy making my own hay. Somedays, instead of it being a hobby to keep me out of the bar, it drives me straight to the bar!! lol
 
Just getting the family farm back into operation. My biggest problem is that I'm buying used equipment trying not to go to the banker to get what we need. Man some of the farmer repairs I've had to unrepair and fix right is about enough to sell my soul to CIH/JD credit!
