ARE WE GOING TO MAKE IT?.

Making Alfalfa has been a mess. Heavy dew has been difficult to work around. Just enough to stop baling and disculor the hay. Wish mother nature would leave the watering to us.
Rain danger lurking.

Did not make it. Just a mist to dicolor the hay.
Will not turn it and knock off all of the leaves.
Good yield. Son will start irrigation an apply fertilizer.Should be ready in 21 days.

Weather has also been very unpredictable here to.

Held off on cutting Bahia grass because of 60% chance of rain most of this week.

Rained all around us; just .1 inch of rain overnight on Sunday.

There's always next weekend - maybe.

Looks like the Model 50 is still up to task.

Thanks for sharing your photos with us.

Yes the Model 50 is hard at it. Pulls the JD Model 1209 Swather and then the NH Super 68 wire tie baler. Will run all day on 15 gal. of gas. Has been worth bring her back to life. Running vintage equipment can be trying but get great satisfation out of watching it work, Sometimes break downs require great inginuity.(sp).
