So Amy... you read my mind... 2 days earlier... saw you CL ad, I hope many others around you did. I'm sure you are.. 'absorbing' all the ideas coming at you here... some are... horse sense... some are just not going to work in Maine, and I'm sure horsey folks like you know it. OK, how far is the nearest Amish community from you? You probably won't be able to buy anything from them, but once you start talking horses and horse drawn etc. you will make freinds fast. The way they farm-hay, compare to the guys on here, is 'labor intensive'. When the time is right-for them, they might come over with a gang of kids, and show you how it's done. Not free, but then you will get the feel of the equipment and the rocks, wet spots, etc etc. Some guys on here are in places that wouldn't understand how a local farmer would refuse free hay, nevermind 50-50. This is a tractor site, so that's the advice you will get, try horse power, or iron age? I forgot the name's of the sites. I hate to say I remember this, a few hours west of you... in the early 1960's, my great grandfather cutting hay with a scythe, a wide wooden rake, pitch fork it onto the back half of a wood wheel wagon behind a model T.... this was after Laurel and Hardy were to old and crippled to pull it.... if he needed help, he pulled out a case of cold Moslon ale. At the same time people were going into outer space... btw, your neighbor has a point about a tedder, but they are not on the market often... a side delivery that goes in reverse and tedds aswell are around, but those have 3000 greasefittings, and if it needs rubber tires... $$$. Yep. You have to go out and make some local freinds fast.... btw, that baler looked OK, and if that dextra had live pto and other wise ok... but then there goes your budget on either one eh??? Keep trying....

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let�s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
