Poultry, porcine, rodents, remuda, ovine and bovine all look happy and doing well RA. That's a very nice crop of hay you're attacking. If that rich old skinflint H would pay you what it's worth you might sell a bit of forage and hang onto a few more cows than you are planning. :wink:

Let us know if a little bread on the waters will do you any good.

Thanks! I have about as much hay right now as I put up last year and I am about half done! I have yet to put up any and it not get rained on. I hope to have big days mowing tomorrow and friday! The pics showed the thin stuff and I'm in the thicker now. "skinflint H".... Yeah, I may have to cull a little harder than I want this year... ...but all systems are still a go as far as still building up a big of a herd as I can! I am just going to have a lot more chasing my tail chapters in my book than I thought... .

If you come across any more of those hay elevators, I could sure use a couple of them. All my bad mouthing the guys that put up these little square bales, and now I are one. One of us needs to move closer. I'd sure help out putting up the hay, but ya know.... there are too many miles between.

I'm learning slowly.... . I'm learning how to play the wind if it is strong while mowing tall stuff, how to feed the baler if I couldn't make the windrows smaller and have to bale bigger windrows without it clogging and little things like that to help keep going without hitches. It's a lot of fun learning all this hay stuff! Breaking down a lot is teaching me how to work on things.... .

I'm working on trying to get that way. My daughter in Texas might mess those plans up some with a new baby, but we will try again in late fall, if not before.

when I was a little remember a wall in the shop full of pitmen stick for the mowers

I wish I had a wall of them... . I have no extra at the moment. The one store was out of them the last time I was there and was going to get one.

Any local sawmills that cut hardwood?

You could make yourself up some pitman's.

Since I've been a one man band haying putter upper the last couple years and have been found laying in the fetal postition crying chatting wierd things because of it.... ...I'd almost throw the elevator in my stock trailer and come help ya when you need it.... . If I had a truck that was running, I can back up to a different set of doors going into the top and throw them up in there. That is what I did every load last year. The elevator has been easier on the body in that respect... .

I hear of one that is west of me a little ways, but don't know of one for sure. That does sound like a good idea! Thanks! How about a hunk of hedge and a pocket knife???... . I might be half done by next hay season...
