The last 11 days we have been haying one of our lease places about 30 miles from home, 1 day we washed hay, had some baler trouble but all in all it went pretty good.

Home is next to the hump farthest to the right of the view.

Cutting rig, loader is left on so I can carry the welder from field to field for power to sharpen knives. The fine hay won't cut clean unless they are sharp.

The first couple of rounds on this field will make your bum pucker. There's 50-60 ft. of loon$hi! under the sod. You can feel the wave coming in front of the tractor about a 1/4 mile up the meadow

100 horses, with the ground and the crop this is as fast as I can go cutting on the smooth ground, it bales at 7mph

OOPS. We almost had a fire, the wife got me stopped in time. My windows were dirty and the hay was dry and dusty, I wouldn't have noticed in time. The Lord was looking after us this day.

The swans weren't impressed with my invasion of their solitude. :D
The famed Dean River is not much more than a marsh through this stretch.

Finished here 2.5 days cutting left on Percy's meadow at the Rez

We didn't get this meadow at all last year, lots of snow, very late runoff.
People were fishing from boats in the field until late August last year :shock: . It normally floods every year but dries up enough to hay.
