I finished my first cutting hay yesterday and put it in the barn today. The hay barn might have room for another 8-10 big rounds and then it will be full. I almost never do squares any more since that doesn't work well for one man to do

No the VAC has not run out of gas. Last tiem I can remember putting gas in was last fall when I did my 2nd cutting of hay

old,

You are so right about square bales. I still do squares but I'm always behind the eight ball due to lack of help and rainy weather. I do 20 acres of squares by myself but if I could afford to do so, I'd switch to round bales in a heartbeat.

Years ago I traded a Farmall B with a belly mount sickle mower for a NH850 round baler and have pretty much baled with it ever since but I did have to get a bigger tractor also. I was told my Oliver 77 would handle the NH850 but it wouldn't do so. So I found an Oliver S88 and it plays with it

Old,
I baled enough hay as a kid, I have no desire to ever bale again.
Eat bales of dirt and hay. Have no desire to raise hay burning animals either.
10 years on a dairy farm was enough.

Bruce, how many bales per hour do you average? Do you net wrap? Mark.
