[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1622977, member: 19817"] I do quite a bit of it. As I grow my cow herd I am looking to do less and less custom baling. It's a tuff business between the weather and equipment. Everybody wants there hay done on X day when the weather is good and your only one guy so there is a limit to what you can do so you have to run ragged and still pi$$ people off. Then it's always a struggle to get my own hay done timely. Baling other people's ground you are bound to mow rocks and fence posts up and tear up a mower, then bale up garbage and tear a baler up. So any bit of "profit" better get saved for when you need a new tractor tire, cutter bar, baler belt, yada yada. If I wasn't making hay for myself there is NO way I could make the tractors, mower, rake, baler, etc be worth the headache to do other people's hay let along the financials of it all. [/QUOTE]
