Weather Foiled

Have something like 75 acres of alfalfa on the ground and had every intention of raking hay this morning.

However, the weatherman is saying we are in for high winds for the next three days. 20 to 30 mph winds.

Dunno, think I'd better just walk away leave the stuff lay for a few days 'cause I'm afraid as light as this crop is, if I rake it, it might end up over in the next county. :>(

I see my neighbor cut his hay yesterday but I'm still waiting the seeds are to small for me i like them about to pop out but still hanging on the grass good enough to cut rake and bale without loosing to much. makes better hay that way.But you have to be fast or you can loose the seed in the field.

I supposed about a week or so for me to start mowing.

Gonna head out to the country to thread that baler with some of that expensive twine.

Bought 16 rolls yesterday and it came to just this side of $300. That kind of takes the fun out of it. :>(

However, I've got a neighbor who really needs some tractor time. Wonder if I can get him to crawl out of bed at 2am? :>)

Allan

I do it the same darned way.

I really need to get that left rear tire filled with fluid 'cause the header isn't "floating" quite right without it.

Other than that, it's a maniac when it comes to cutting hay. Sure wish it were another four feet wider tho. :>(

Seems to "sing" the best at about 5 1/2 mph.

I'd take the rain! A good inch of rain on that downed hay wouldn't bother me one little bit. :>)

Allan

I'm gonna go out there, mow that last 35 acres and just set back and wait for the rains. :>)

Allan

no interesting days for go out...

That's an option I guess. After 3 days of wind, it darned sure ought to be cured out.

Lots and lots of drivin' with those little 12' windrows tho. Was hoping to pull two together to be able to fill the baler better.

Thanks, we'll see how this plays out depending on the weather.
