    Thank you! This helps me build confidence. I certainly didn't want to bite off more than I could checking on

    Case IH 8330/ Hesston 1120 HP requirements

    I'm considering purchasing a Case IH 8330 haybine. I'll be mowing about 15 acres of hay with it. Could anyone speak to hard these haybines pull and what the HP requirement would be? I was planning to use a 40HP allis 160 with a perkins diesel. Is this too much haybine for my tractor? I'm...

    Name for lawnmower repair shop

    Hi all, Thought I would throw this out to the community and see what comes back. I"m thinking of starting a small side business but haven"t come up with a name yet. The business would: - purchase older tractors/ garden tractors (<25hp) to repair - sell lawnmowing equipments/ small tractors...

    Hobby Farm Hay

    My original thinking was 100 bales/ acre x $3/ Bale x 3 cuttings x 10 acres = $9000. Based on feed back I think I should realistically assume I'll get about 100 bales/ acre per year instead of per cutting. Working on a learning curve here.

    Baler Suggestions

    Interested in hearing what recommendations for a square baler the YT community may have. Looking for a inexpensive baler, that is easy to repair and fairly reliable. I know it seems as though I'm asking for the holy grail of balers but really I just want to hear which balers you think would...

    Thank for the feedback Ray. I do have some family and friends that could help to rake during the day so I can bale when I get home. I feel like choosing a haybine/rake/tedder will be the easy and inexpensive part. The baler is where I start drawing question marks??? My experience with making...

    Good advice Dave. I appreciate this going into things so I can have a rough guess at costs out of the gate.

    Hobby Farm Hay

    I have 2 decent sized tractor sheds and barn I can store hay in so I don't foresee storage being an issue. I see what you are saying about the quality/quantity trade off which is a good point. Hopefully the fields stay dry and I don't have issues getting hay off but can't control the weather so...

    Thanks for the words of wisdom! How do you feel about discbine vs haybine given the higher potential for debris in the field?

    Thanks Paul! The only experience I have with flooding is early season if we happen to get an ice damming. This past year we had no water issues but I want to make sure that I plant something with a root structure that will resist erosion from Jan/Feb floods if they come. During the normal hay...

    Hobby Farm Hay

    Do you think timothy or another grass would be a better choice? I was trying to stay away from alfalfa because it would be a little less forgiving and my primary customers would be buying it as horse hay. From what I've heard from local farmers that straight grass should sell just as well as...

    Hobby Farm Hay

    Thanks for your input. I agree with you about mother nature and that's kind of my biggest fear. That's at least partially why I thought grass would be a good choice; won't get as tough as alfalfa if I catch it on a late cutting. I also figured that the first year of planting orchard grass...

    Hobby Farm Hay

    So I've been batting around the idea of making hay on my property located in northeastern PA this year and would appreciate some advice before I commit fully to the venture. I decided it would be nice to try to make a little hay off my property as a supplement income. I would be planting about...
