Looks like both the rake and the baler did a good job cleaning the field.

What kind of hay?

What were you standing on for photos #1 and #3?

Great shots!

Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

It seems everyone has a different method of handling baled hay. It seems it vary's with the end usage. Is it being handled to get the highest RVF or is the interest in quanity the greatest concern? Nice pictures aren't Dad's handy?

So did the old Brown drop dead or does he just like using the big tractor?

Not familiar with bale throwers- do you adjust the throw "shorter" as the wagon fills up? Looks like if you have it "strong" enough to get bales to the back at first, it would just bounce them off the top and over the back after it gets about half full.

No, I was using the Case 1410 to move the wagons.

Yes, as the wagon fills up he adjusts it so that the thrower throws the bales a shorter distance. And he can move the thrower left and right. If he sets it to he highest number (I think its 6) on the thrower he can clear the whole wagon easily.

I wonder if anyone has ever been hit with one of those flying bales. Looks like it takes a good push to get them in the wagon. Stan

How many bales can you get on one wagon? They look like there 9x18?

Do you get more in by standing the front bales on end? (last pic)

My neighbor's father was hit by a bale that came out of a JD kicker. It carried him up into the wagon with the bale. Didn't kill him but that could happen. He was too sore to stand up for several days.

You can get around 160 if you stack the front and throw the rest, If we stacked the whole entire wagon i could get 206.

The bales are 14x18

I don't know of anyone here in Ohio growing bermuda because of winterkill, although I have heard they have varieties adapted for the northern US. Our main grasses here are timothy, orchardgrass, and fescue.
