[QUOTE="Limomike, post: 1155969, member: 3400"] Lauralee. I agree with you for the most part. If you were doing JUST my hay fields, you would have made over $20K last year doing it on the shares if you sold it. My neighbor did it and he complained that he had to replace a $1500 part on his tractor. I just basically looked at him and said " and how much did you make on the hay you sold??" I also agree on the making sure you have clean fields that yield well. When we had the drought a few years back , everyone else was getting pour yields and we got over 580 bales on our 80 acre bottom land.. good hay. and a great yield. The guy that is doing my fields now, is using a newer JD 5055E tractor to cut and rake with, but using an old International 1086 132hp to bale with. He is doing a good job with it..and I hope to continue to have him do it each year if he wants to. He said the way my fields look, he would put me at the top of his list for his order of fields next year. :banana: [/QUOTE]
