Boy, I'm gone for a week and the format changes again,plus it looks like all the posts from that last change is gone!. Anyway, I'm about to do some surgery to my brush hog, to use it as a hay cutter like we discussed way back in the winter.On looking at it I see that there is a seperate curved steel plate underneath only in the back left quarter,I'm guessing it's an auxilary guard to knock back flying objects? If I leave that in place I don't think the grass will eject properly, as between that plate, and the skid in front there is only about 24 inches of opening once the side is removed.(the hog is a Deere 503) Since you've performed this operation before,I'd thought I'd get a second opinion before I scrub up. Hope all is well, george

i just thought i would add this bit of info. i just "modified" my bush hog and cut my hay with it and it works great with the left side and back removed, but make sure the field is clean of junk and there are NO bystanders because IF and WHEN you do hit an object it will really fly out with some great force now that nothing can stop it. set the bush hog very low in front and high in the rear to let the blades just cut the grass down and not chop it up as usual. good luck

After your hay has cured 2 or 3 weeks go check a bale and see how soft it is. It always feels really soft and it keeps more green pigment in it.

When I had the hay analaysed it was about 3 to 4% higher protein in the bushhogged hay than the haybine cut hay.

When I quized Dr Euchart out about it at A&M he said it must be because of the quicker cure time, that the greener texture meant that there were more nutrients being left in the hay due to less sun time in the curing.

Good to hear you did good. Keep up the good work.

Hey george, I thought them dang yuppies had bar-b-q'd you or something. Yep if you take a nap around here, when you come back it's a new ball game.

Yeah the left side has to be clear from front to the rear corner. I was using mine this week. If you'll put a piano type hinge on the thing you can take it off and put it on at will.

Everything is cool around here, we got 19" of rain in 5 hrs the other day. I'm still hunting my spare tires and lumber. It's probly in the gulf by now.

Hey what kind of blade do you use on the yuppies? I had one in the barrel here yesterday and my knife was'nt sharp enough to fix him. They squeal alot, but they can't kick nearly as hard as a pig does.

Glad to hear your drying out,since all the changes around here, I havn't seen many posts by you, plus I got real busy and was just too tired to play on the 'puter. I'm going to remove the side and that inner guard on the hog and play with the grass that got away from them silly horses.Be nice if I had a rake, but I'll cobble up something. Now as for the yuppies, there's a trick to that operation.You got to cover their heads with a current Wall Street Journal,and use a single edge razor,that way they don't squirm to bad.That sawing and hacking really gets them hollerin, gets so you almost feel sorry for them,
but, then you get over it!
I'll let you know how the hog works out, I have to go feed a couple yuppies I got penned up now, stuff em with Hagan Daz ice cream for a week and they slick up real nice!

Thanks for the info george. I knew there has to be a trick. I don't know if you can get a WSJ around here, so I'll try a Grit. Better yet maybe I can find a George magazine somewhere.

I lost 2 yuppies last winter. I was'nt sure about the feed, and starved them to death I guess. I was feeding cornbread and polk salat free choice with buttermilk chaser.

That diet seems a little heavy for their delicate systems,and their natural diet is too expensive,thats why it's hard to keep them for more than a few weeks.Try the premium ice creams,they kind of lose themselves in that stuff.Vanilla with raspberries seem to be a favorite. If you can't find a Wall Street Journal, anything with a stock market report will do.Just make sure you operate on a rising market, they get too agitated on a falling one.
Good talking to you.
