Hi guys. I just wanted to give my thanks to you all for being an invaluable help to me! I just got started in farming w/ no past experience. The questions I've posted in the past were re: which tractor to buy (of course), which baler, tractor repairs and advice on haying. I had 10 acres of hay I needed to bring in over the past two weeks and between God watching over and all your help, things couldn't have gone better. I ended up w/ an AC180 tractor, Ford 532 baler, Gehl 2340 discbine, Gehl 262 spinner rake & Grimm tedder. I made my fair share of mistakes, but couldn't be happier with my results. The 180 is an awesome tractor for me… I love the discbine…the thing I'm most pleased with is that old baler, though. I was really prepared for a heck of a time w/ it. I had a few problems with it not tying on one side, but made a couple adjustments and she was true again. All together we got 450 bales w/ 98% square and only a few banana shaped ones. The biggest thing I learned about that baler is "don't shut it down with hay on its way into the chamber!" I did this a couple times and ended up backing the hay out by hand so I could get it free again. It was a wonderful feeling when that $675. baler was eating up those windrows and shooting those nicely shaped bales into the wagon.!!! All in all it was a lot of hard work but it sure is a refreshing change from sitting at a desk all day long! I now have a great respect for full and part-time farmers and want to thank you all again! I really don't know where I would have been without this forum. God bless you all, Mike-M Sussex, NJ special thanks to Tim-NJ, RMD, Gordon & Red!
