Baler is 30 years old, chain drive. Not sure you can even adjust how close to the ends the twine ties.

It is an 847 Autowrap...New Holland

Wow, thanks for all your replies. I will run them by my son tomorrow to see what he thinks since he is the one actually running the baler. The last time I ran that baler it plugged up while baling a neighbor's windrows that were full of short dry grass and bull thistle. I had to pull the...

We have made square bales for 30+ years. Then we decided to buy a round baler. We liked the fewer moving parts. However, the strings on it fall off the ends of the bales. We leave the bales in the field longer than the squares because people told us it took longer to cure and we didn't want...

Got some really stickery hay for a lower price. Hay is just not available right now. We pulled so many stickers out of eyes that we started feeding on the ground. Even then, the stickers crawled up their faces.

That is absolutely correct. I had a group of cows get into the neighbor's pot garden. They had been skittish, but were definitely stoned as we moved them out, moseying down the road, looking to the left for a while and to the right for a while. Hilarious!

Every time we get all set to bait and hunt them, they move out. Got a sow yesterday who had pigs. I am hoping something gets the pigs. There is a bear around and maybe he will get the pigs.

Milestone is the best stuff I have ever used. Need an applicator's license to get it, and that means getting an appointment at the county office 65 miles away and wearing a mask etc to get in to the office (California) Best idea is get it in another state.

Reed Canary grass, (phalaris arundinacea) as far as I can tell, is related to Harding grass (phalaris aquatica) that used to be a favorite here because it would survive boggy conditions but also survived drought. Its roots break up our clay soil to a greater depth than the other grasses. We...

I don't know about wheat, but I have had problems with rye awns. I had heard that they can cause sores in horses' mouths, and my friend showed me some from some hay we made having annual rye in it. Then I looked in the mouth of a pet cow who died, and sure enough she had the same sores. (not...

Thank you for all your information. This gives me a lot to go on.

So how do I measure the joules? Does a fault-finder show joules, or amps, or volts? So, in other words, if I have three steel ground rods, but connect them with aluminum wire, that is bad? I think I actually have three aluminum ground rods and aluminum ground wire going to the unit. Then...

I read through the previous threads about solar fences, and am still have some questions about my set-up that I haven't seen answers for. I have not used electric fence for several years, having gotten discouraged each time I tried it. I am retired now from a demanding teaching job, and...

We are looking to lease ground for 6 months for our cattle in Northern California. Wondering what full care is going for now?
