Early hay and photos

Northvale PA · May 29, 2021

The weather here in mid Atlantic is rainy this weekend but has been dry over the last 3 weeks, so many people started cutting hay. I got in all our alfalfa-grass mix fields. Yields were half of normal but quality is good and the weather was without worry. 1 photo is replacing broken pickup teeth.

Nice scenery. It'll be another month before haying starts here.

My previous attempts to edit failed so here goes.

Nice haying photos. May I ask why you turn jack 90 instead of relocating to storage bracket? I'm just curious no offense intended.

On some machines, that is where the jack is stored.

Granted but JD engineers designed so sq baler jack could be stored higher(position B) away from any possible contact with hay or tractor tire.

Beautiful country. Thanks for the photos. Between you and Larry I would like to see the rest of Pennsylvania.

York/Lancaster counties area is a beautiful place in Mid-May. I am 300 miles west of you and was able to take advantage of the week of dry weather as you did and got over half of my 1st crop in. Made some great hay and was done on May 23, about the earliest ever. Good thing too, because the 10 day forecast at the moment shows no indication of me getting the other half done. Meaning it will be over-mature and not so great. Hard to believe your yields were only half of normal. Mine were three quarters of normal and I like it that way.....mows easier and dries down faster.

Looks great! Glad you didn't have to worry about the weather. I like your baler. I have a 14T. Also like the umbrella.

Well heck, I never knew what that bracket was for. I have 2ea JD336 balers. One has the handle crank
jack you see and the other has the older lever handle / spring catch type jack that goes straight up. I just
always turned it 90 degrees. Who knew?

If one reads tractor/equipment operators manuals one will be amazed at the useful information contained in the OM contents! :lol:
