I cover the hayground I put up with help from one neighbor. We have a 16' swing tongue moco and a round baler and get the hay put up a lot faster than 30 years ago when there was a bunch more family help available including operators for 3 Farmhand tractors, a hay sweep, wheel rake, and a neighbor who did custom swathing with a self propelled swather.
BTW, I started working in the hayfield when I was 6 running the 8N on the Farmhand wheel rake. Graduated to the hay sweep (reversed '50 Chev pickup) the next year and started on the new IH 210 14' swather when I was 9. Didn't start stacking hay with a Super M until I was 16. Nowdays my work experience wouldn't be PC with all the "child labor" BS. :roll:
