[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1825449, member: 12520"] Well for me buying hay isn’t practical mostly because trucking makes it prohibitive. No one close by sells hay, they feed it. And the BTO’s snap up any that does come up within 60 miles. So like ChevyTahoe we have a very short window to get the hay put up. It’s one cut and we need to make enough to feed for 200-220 days. Therefore we keep fresh haying equipment. There really isn’t much choice. We keep a couple of newer tractors, and run a couple of older ones. We would never come to a standstill because one tractor blew up. Now if I were only haying a quarter or two obviously there would be a different business model. Everyone’s situation is a bit different. [/QUOTE]
