    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Still have 2 cables that are going to be installed. Just support for the structure to keep the barn stable for the next 120 years.

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Area I regret not taking before picture. Before squeezing the barn back together the roof and barn rested against the silo. Not anymore. Don't realize how much they settle over time.

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    This summer saw some improvements to the barn with many thanks to my uncle for the help. We upgraded the 70's addition to the barn making it possible to store hay mechanically. When it was built there was no intention of anything driving on the floor. Can't imagine what my grandfather and dad...

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Might be the last big window that opens up. 7-15 days of clear sailing with minor glitches here and there. Hay is going to be dropping. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 acres of mine and custom. First 6 acres. 3rd cutting Trial run of repaired tedder and performed flawlessly.

Finger drives have new bearings, new hex shaft, gear spacer and bearing for center tunnel, Hex shaft rebuilt for an inner wing, all remaining...

    Rotary rake width for small square baler

    That's why for your post #8 I wanted you to read my post above yours which I quoted here. When researching rotary rakes you have to do a deep dive in the specs to make sure you know what the true raking width is. Yes the rake the op is looking at is 9'

    Rotary rake width for small square baler

    Based on my research by getting access to the manuals, the specs for the 4201 are the same just a series newer. https://www.kuhn-usa.com/hay-forage/rakes/rotary-rakes/single-rotor/ga-4201-4401 The rake you are looking at has an approximate 9' clean sweep

    Rotary rake width for small square baler

    I'm confused, How narrow would you want your rake to be for raking? Refer to my post above.

    Rotary rake width for small square baler

    Lets start with how rotary rakes are described. Not all brands give you all the specs. There is working width and there is clean sweep(raking width). Many use working width interchangeably. For instance I run a Pequea HRS15 for small squares. It has a 15' working width but is 13' clean sweep...

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    What a week. Went from all sun balls to a slight chance of rain and mostly cloudy for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Felt like we were trying to beat the rain Saturday baling off the 40 acres. The Nor'easter really messed up our weather window and did not feel like fighting heavy dews so...

    Hay as a Profitable Endeavor

    We make hay as a pretend profitable endeavor and you can see how it runs here. https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/threads/the-farm-haying-and-cattle-thread.1795098/ Just got done with 40 acres yesterday of small squares and rounds. This year we are giving out letters completely revamping our...

    Baler: 5060, 570 or sbx540

    First of all, all those balers are NH. The SBX is a 575. SBX is the largest capacity of the 14x18. The other 2 are medium capacity. I run a SB541 Model year 2015. Flawless.

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Still hoping the tedder is going to be rolling by end of the week. Finally done tearing down and there are just some things you can't ignore when you get in this deep. 2nd order of parts on way and a 3rd order going out today.

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Japanese because it is suitable for flooded ground and this field is wet. I probably could have gotten a 3rd cutting of it but doubt it will grow much before we get a frost. I dropped the ball on the 2nd . It headed out quick then we got rain so this is pushing 50 days and probably is a 30 day...

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread
