I managed to harvest my hay for the first time, hooray! I learned a lot and thought I would share it with you since most videos on baling are by long time farmers who know what they are doing. I did not know what I was doing and had to learn everything by reading, trial and error, and through some YouTube watching 🙂
All of my equipment performed well and I managed to get 100 small square bales in the barn, and 28 large round bales. I still have a 5 acre field to cut, but we should have just enough hay to support our cows, horses, and goats through the winter now…and I should have two more cuttings.
If you are new to farming, or are jumping into baling your own hay, you can learn something from this video. If you are an expert, you can laugh and share your wisdom in the comments!
I plan to get more action shots in during my second cut. driftlessinwi
