Guy I usually get about half hay from decided from one day to the next that he didn't have time this year and was just going to mow and leave it lay. He said we could have the hay if we mowed/harvested it. Rainwas in sight so I hussled folks together and got someone to mow, rake, and roll it.
That translated to it being mowed and all of the guy that was going to finish it having all of his equipment broke (??).
It was about 7 acres and my wife and I (and two wooden peg rakes) finished everything and a guy rolled it yesterday in 4ft rolls that are real easy to handle. Glad it's over. Guess I'd better get some flowers and goodies.
 
i gues you one of the young folkes,that never learned to work by hand. in the old days thats all there was to make hay, Cut, Rake,Load,Unload,and feed it by hand in the end too 100 acre or more.
 
One of my neighbors picks everything up loose in a loader wagon and blows it in the top of his barn with a big blower. Another stacked it in the field until a couple of years ago. This was a last minute rush, next year will see very little manual raking (I hope).

Used to walk 20 miles one way to school barefoot in 6ft snow drifts. Uphill both ways carrying my brother, so the raking wasn't that bad...................
Just don't want to do it again.

Have a good day.

I know how to do hard labor, I just wouldn't do it for a horse.
