    Questions: wrapping DRY hay (round bales, single cutting, grass w some legumes)

    I use net wrap on my bales, so a rain doesn’t really soak into the bale as much as with a twine bale. As I stated the bale needs 7 days or so to reach its cooled off temperature internally. After a rain shower, one day of bright sunshine should dry off the rain. The longer a bale sits in the...

    Questions: wrapping DRY hay (round bales, single cutting, grass w some legumes)

    Ok I used to have an Anderson brand inline wrapper. And once my inside storage was full I would wrap some dry hay and also wheat straw. I live where winter comes in November and sticks around unomid April some years. Bales left outside with have a frozen crust on them making it dam nearly...

    So far as I know I am still welcome to post but have been rather preoccupied as late. One of my boys had a medical emergency, detached retina, and I have been kept busy driving him in to Toronto for surgery and follow up appointments. He appears to be doing well. Spring is really dragging its...

    Snow.

    Of course blue water and white sand conjures up nice warm thoughts, somewhat contrary to the blue sky white snow image you paint. And the scenery walking along the sandy shoreline is totally different from the icy frozen shores of these glazed over lakes.

    End of the Backhoe/Loader?

    The backhoe/loader is a very versatile machine on both construction and fare jobs. Gives the advantage of being used as a loader to load or move material, something that a smaller track loader doesn’t do as well. But I can certainly understand why folks prefer a track excavator for digging. With...

    Tractor purchase

    I had a CaseIH 5140 Maxim tractor for a good many years. 100hp CDI 6 cylinder diesel engine, 4 speed transmission with 4 power shifts in each gear. Forward/reverse lever on the left side of steering wheel. 4wd model made an excellent loader tractor with the 510 CaseIH quick attach loader with...

    Underrated Case Tractors

    I grew up riding my dad’s VA and VAC 14 tractors and those little tractors were tough little rigs, but in direct answer to your question. I think the 930 and 1030 are the most underrated of the J I Case tractors. With a forward seating position and a flat platform, very much like all late model...

    Case Rake

    I had a Case hay rake very much like that one some 40 years ago. I bought it from an auction sale for $26.00, and it had done very little work before I got it. I probably dragged it around near ten years, and it still was working when I parked it and bought a brand new NH rake/tedder. It was...

    Hay inverting video....

    Why no fenders on the tractor? 20 years ago when some folks still did small square bales, there were a few of those windrow inverters around my area. Have not seen one in many years now. Always thought they looked like a good enough idea

    What have you done with your tractor today?

    I fed a bale of hay with my 5640 Ford loader tractor. And I drove the J I Case 1030 with the Khun Vee rake home from a piece of hay ground 30 miles away from home . Took just over one hour
