[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 1604689, member: 7795"] Just wondering...do you get more than one cutting a year? If you end up doing your own would you knock it all out at one time or stagger cutting? Trying to better understand what you do. Back in the day we square baled we would cut 8-12 acres at a time. Takes longer to get it all done but a lot of it was sold off the patch and Dad would plan around them being able to get it picked up off the patch. Simpler times back then. :D He used a 530 Propane John Deere to run a 489 New Holland Haybine and 346 John Deere Square Baler. Used a 1941 John Deere B and 258 New Holland Side Delivery to rake with. Probably had less than $5000 in equipment but that was 40 years ago. Baled ~10,000 bales a year that way. [/QUOTE]
