Tx. Jim,

I checked out 4 hay piles today. The one on 69 had no for sale
sign on the gate and it was locked when I went by. After closer
examination it appeared to me that the bales were unsuitably
wrapped to make a journey to your place and on to your
customers. Additionally they were 5x6s.

The other three were either rye, coastal, or pasture grass. Two
were twine tied and one net wrapped. The bale sizes varied from
4x5, 4x6, to 5x6.

The 4x5 was the best wrapped and would have transported more
easily, but that gate was locked also and the for sale sign on the
fence, even though it was of professional quality, had the wrong
phone number. I dialed the number twice and talked to a non
related person twice, apologizing for bothering him the second
time. There were only 50 bales in this lot.

So, that's that, but I did have a nice Sunday's drive.

I don't know where this title came from. All I did was to enter Hay into the title block and wound up with this.

I know how Hay King came up in the title. You were subconsciously thinking about how fast the shank tips wear out while using one. I had my tips hard surfaced by a pipeline welder then aerated 40 acres of Coastal and there's no evidence of any weld beads. The points are slick as a babies rump. No if it will just RAIN!!

I just finished aerating my Coastal and my Hay King was on my mind. I was amazed how the tips wore after I had them hard surfaced. This has zero to do with anything else. I'm not trying to kick "sleeping dogs"

Thanks.

I really like mine in this Houston Clay. Of all the tricks I have tried
over the years this works best on the clay when everything else
bounces off it. I was surprised how cheap it was from the local JD
dealer, new, built like a tank.

How much fuel per hr did your tractor burn pulling the Hay King? My Kubota M7040 70 engine HP would use a tank of fuel(23 gal) in about 7 hrs. By tank I mean from completely full to low fuel light coming on. I had no way to measure out of my fuel storage tank. I had 3 pt set as deep as the tractor would pull the 6 shank aerator. Now if it will just rain.
 
Jim, I can't say. all I can say is not much. My tractor has tanks
on each side with an interconnecting hose and I fill on a grade. I
pump from 55 gallon drums. So, it takes awhile to get the fuel
up in the neck because I have to stop and wait for it to move
across. Together they are 24 gallons. A tank in 7 hours sounds
about right. As I said before, as compared to my 40+ year old JD
Diesels, a whole lot less.

The engine is the 3 liter Cummins 4 cyl. It runs at 2700 wide
open and is spec'd at 65 engine/57 pto at 2500. No idea as to
what the drawbar hp is. On that plow, in August crusted soil, I
gear it so that I drop about 200 rpms down vs up which is about
midrange, B1 or 2, (range A-C 1-4) for the 4 shank implement.
Of course it is in 4wd. Had no idea as to what a difference 2
more tires digging made. I guess you are in sandy loam when
you said you were chewing tips up. This black land gets hard,
but doesn't not contain the abrasion of sand so they just shine
up, as do the coulters.

My soil is mix of sand & black. One might call it black sand. It is very abrasive especially with a little moisture in it. When it's dry it's very hard it's difficult to penetrate and when it's very wet it's quicksand.
