As a wise soul reminded me...Work smarter not harder.
My"yard" around my home is old pasture, about 1 1/2 acres, and I mow it with the bush hog. Several years ago I bought a mini wheel rake to windrow the grass. That helped but still left me with hand raking to collect it.
At first I bagged it into feed sacks. Then I built a wooden hand baler to square bale it. Repetitive motion does a number on old joints. With this summer of plentiful rain prompted me to make a rather large purchase....a mini round baler. I finally got it this week and put it to work. Color me one happy lady!
My first attempt on a 2 acre field yielded me 32 bales at about 55-60 lbs each. YEEHAW!
