[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 32040, member: 220"] Thanks dd and Dun. Sounds like an interesting piece of equipment. We like to bale at as low a moisture content as possible, due to the fact that we feed hay right up till turn out in the end of May. Seems to store better. Usually 15% seems to be ideal up here. We'll go up to 18% if we have to, but prefer not to bale it too tough, especially if it's going to rain. Have to admit that the in-tractor computerized moisture tester is one of my favorite toys...let's you know when you're hitting the tough stuff without stopping the tractor. Makes it easy to skip over to a dry windrow and leave the wet to dry longer. Kind of handy. My favorite part of haying is running the disc bine. I just can't say enough good things about having that hydraswing. There's nothing like mowing the hay and breathing in the sweet smell of summer. Well, unless it's getting a chance to dip your line in a mountain river for some fishing when the haying's all done. Take care. [/QUOTE]
