Cut my hay on Monday, turned it on Wednesday and bales yesterday. Used dad's DC and my Case 282 rake to turn it. This was thick hay and had a lot of volunteer clover in it so getting it dry was tough.
Yesterday my grandson Gage used the 830 to rake it again and double the rows. Was his first time and he did a good job.
After a couple hours to dry some we baled it with my 200 Case baler. Randell drove for that and Gage and Jordan stacked. My son Nick came later and helped too.
The last of the square bales. Got enough of those for this year I think.
Baled the rest in round bales, got 4 more 5x6 bales on top of 260 squares.
Don't hold it against me that the round baler is not Case, it's borrowed and beggars can't be choosers. Lol.
Here are a couple videos of the boys driving.
