Just wanted to share a photo of how haying has gone today. Weatherman predicted five days of clear hot weather. Perfect for haying. Can seen such beautiful conditions for haying before? :bang:
Whew....glad to know your tag line still has some relevance here.Jogeephus":3nm25z8u said:In more ways than one I didn't need this rain but rain is what I got. LOTS of it. My week is screwed now.
Had I cut hay when I thought I should rather than listening to the weather liars I'd have it put up by now but nooooooooooooo. I'm too stupid to listen to my gut and chose to listen to these weather folks. And they want me to believe they can predict global warming when they can't predict precipitation five days out. Yeah, I'm buying it.
Oh, and lighteniing just hit something outside. Don't know what it was yet but it was close enough to fry my hotspot on the computer. Anyone need any horse hay? :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Well.. the rain came at the end of day 3.. a whole day of it.. and wouldn't you know it took me 2 hours to make 2 passes around the field when the weather was rolling in.. bill hook on the knotter got tangled up, and then the fuel pump on the baler packed had an intermittent ground, causing all sorts of pain.

it's a 16x18 inch bale, so it's not the SMALL bale (14x18), but it's not the giant square either... the baler is a 1965 NH 282, they made them in a fully self propelled version as well, the 1282lavacarancher":3jw1gt7k said:Nesikep":3jw1gt7k said:I gambled about 2 weeks ago.. they said I had 5 days of clear, and I need 4...

Nesi, you have one of those self powered square balers? You make the BIG square bales?

It was blistering hot and not a drop of rain nor was there a drop on Thursday but they predicted not a chance of rain till Wednesday. So I was cautious. Heck, I haven't seen this much rain in weeks.
GP, the tire was scheduled to blow out. I was just planning on running all the goody out of it. I think I did but I didn't plan on it blowing out when it did. Of course, it was good timing really because I sure don't need it today for haying. :lol2:
Not kidding about the high quality horse hay. Rehydrated and double dehydrated. Beaten with the tedder till it should be nice and tender for the discerning horse. :lol2:

I think as long as I have cattle it will be relevant. The day I sell them all will be the day I learn.
