Haying going the usual way

Well this year is like any other year for haying. Started off three weeks late because we have been so busy at work that I have had to work lots of overtime. Finally got started tonight and went over to neighbors and started cutting. Sickle did not do too bad, plugged up a few times hitting mole hills. Almost got the neighbors little patch done when the belt on the sickle mower broke. Finally found where it threw it (which was about ten feet in front of the tractor, never would have believed that it would go that way) and inspected the belt. The gear box must have leaked on it over winter and rotted it out. It looked good on the outside but the inside looked oily. Oh well, I'm off to the belt store tomorrow and see what happens after that. Good luck to everyone else.

It wasn't going too bad for us untill the rain hit Sunday A.M. On Saturday we got off 9 loads (about 1300 bales) but there is still about 5-6 loads still out there. SWe've only got 4 wagons in rotation at this moment in time, and the help (2 of my brothers) is gone back to Madison. I go to school and work 2nd shift Monday-Thursday, so we only have Fri-Sun to get anything done.


We've also gotta get the peas & tritical & oats in the silo cause it's ready to go NOW, plus my neice is being baptized on Sunday in Plymouth so we really only have Friday and Saturday to bale off the rest of the hay, cut the mixture for in the silo, set up the chopper which includes a new shear bar, putting on the hay head, and sharpening the knives, and get everything in the barn or silo.


Peice of cake.....

I think I may be "sick" in a day or 2.....
