That's odd, because around here people were still able to cut and bale bahia while all the other stuff was dried up.

Got em goin on all around us. Neighbors have been sprayin, so far nothin in ours...but we are ready with the spray rig just in case.

That's just one customer, if I were to shred for him year round I'd never get it all done by myself. I could start in the spring and still be goin come next spring LOL

I've been mowin pastures with a 15 ft and 20 ft batwing, I don't mow but about 4mph, if it's any faster, it leaves trash that will stand back up later. I charge $10 hr. using the other guys equipment. But my hubby does all repair work on the tractors and shredders. The fella pays for the parts...

We use an old cross tie with holes in it for the chain to run thru. Drag it around and it smashes and drags them all real good. Works real good. Good job for the kids that are old enuff to drive the tractor too LOL

Hay here aint "worth" 35.00 a bale.......cuz most of it is trash, but folks are askin anywhere from $80 to $120 a bale for it when it can be found. I WON"T be buyin any of it however.

We got 5 inches of rain day before yesterday, and another 4 inches yesterday afternoon and thru the night last night. Uhgggg, love the rain, we needed it desperately....but it sure would have helped if it'd come a lil more spread out durin the summer LOL We have one hayfield that we can bale if...

Yeap fire ants are here to stay, we don't treat them at all in the pasture. It's a loosin battle. And they don't cause that much problem with cattle, main problem is when your cuttin hay and run over a mound the cutter will throw them everwhere, or with a shreader, you'll end up gettin em on ya...

Before you go balin green hay, there's somethin else ya might wanna think about, not only can it mildew....that stuff can catch fire. Don't bleave me? try it. round balin hay, that stuff starts makin heat in the middle and will start smokin. Have seen folks put hay up while it's still too green...

Well we started rakin and balin, and had nothin but trouble with equipment...had to make a run to town for a chain for the baler, the rake wantin to bog up and not turn thru the thick stuff......we'll try to get it finished up tomorrow. I"ll let ya know how many per acre. Usually we get 4 or 5...

Wasn't quite dry enuff yesterday afternoon (monday). Rakes hooked up, and balers hooked up...gonna roll it up this afternoon.

Loosens the soil so the roots can grow better, allows what rain that does fall to absorb more instead of runnin off. I'm sure there's more benefits than that. I spent a couple days diskin lightly about 70 acres a few weeks back and the grass there is hoppin more than what wasn't disked.

LOL I have been watchin the forecast, and also the "big boys" one's that bale nothin but hay for a livin and they were layin it down also.....so figgered it was time to get busy. After about Tuesday.....let er rip!!!!!

We started cuttin friday evenin and ran outta daylight, finished up cuttin yesterday afternoon...looks to be a decent cuttin for the drought we've had.

ok i'll jump in, we have a small hay field that's only 4 acres, it's coastal and johnson grass mixed. ( I know different type of grasses than your asking about) but on a normal year, we cut 3 to 4 times a year, and get 20 to 25 bales per cuttin and they are 5x5. That's with our normal rainfall...

We have the hog problem too, I'm just west of huntsville so our area is similar to yours. We use a big bridge Timber cross tie, with a chain hooked about 2 feet from each end, then put the v of the chain onto the tractor where the bale fork (back) is hooked on. It's the easiest method we've...

if it's been in a barn where it's dry, I wouldnt see a problem with it, specially concidering how dry it's been here and the hay shortage. Thank goodness we got a couple inches of rain last week, and looks like we are in for a lil more the next few days, our pastures have really greened up and...

Notta drop here at our place, think the line started dumpin a lil to the east of us.

Holy Cow, n I was complainin about $400 for about 60 acres

We use a hay van, but not for long distances, hauls six rounds at a time, and is gooseneck. Have another one that piggy backs on the 6 hauler that hauls 4 more. Sure is long when ya git em all hooked up together tho.
