[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1605184, member: 19817"] The OP stated "my husband and I know very little about haying equipment". So unless they have some trusted friends who are very knowledgeable and willing to help source equipment, teach them to repair and maintain it, as well as operate it correctly they will be in for a long miserable learning experience, and like many that I talk to and read about on here dread hay season with a passion. In the example of my neighbor he is very mechanical and has a machine shop at his disposal. But when trying to source parts for an old Hesston MoCo and an old Allis Chalmers tractor things took extra time which with our weather ment his hay got made 2 months later than normal. But he has complete control over his operation and nobody else to blame but himself. He does it because it likes doing it, not for the money. [/QUOTE]
