What a muddy mess. Rain coming so we had to put it up. 90 lb squares that should weigh 45. Ruts, wet tires, water squirting out everywhere when driving.
The tedder driver (me) stayed clear of the mud as I hit it while mowing. The rake guy didn't and nearly got stuck even in 4wd, the baler operator followed the windrow into the mud needing 4wd and front and rear diffs locked to get out.
