Today we had plans to routinely bale a late cutting of grass hay. Cut Sunday, tedded Monday, baled Tuesday--right? Wrong! Raked the hay right after noon, everything OK. Then the baling. After six bales JD 530 round baler broke a belt--none on hand. Borrowed cousin neighbor's 530. He, age 92 insisted that we use his tractor, a 1066, since it was already coupled up to the baler. Going down the road less than half a mile the steering cylinder end separated and front wheels turned sharply left (thank God not right.) Switched tractors, my 766--his baler. Got to the field, immediately knew something wrong with the baler. Managed to wrap one bale, discovered broken compression arm. In desperation talked to another neighbor, hired him to finish the baling--JD 535 baler. He successfully wrapped five bales, failed on four more--some kind of broken part. So, that's three balers and one tractor breakdowns in one afternoon unsuccessfully trying to bale perhaps two dozen bales! But, there'll be a brighter day tomorrow! We'll start with original outfit and, of course, finish without further problems.

Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ?
