CAN you actually bale one for 15$ anymore? MYSELF,and ive been both the baler and balee so to speak, I would figure out exactly what it cost me to roll up the average bale. Cant really count break downs and things and stay fair, in my opinion,and go from there.If it actualy cost you say just as a number $12 to cut rake bale etc,you obviously need to be elswhere. If you make $15 youll wind up broke. Ive seen folks do it on halves years ago, but lately a third for the tractor/equipment(gas,wear,and repairs). A third for the operator ( your wages of course). and a third for the landowner (his income) would be about right i think most times. Would probably still be starvation wages at $30 a bale. MY OPINION ONLY of course. By the way,thats the way i did the accounting also,there was the tractors share that went into its account,my share that went into mine,and the landowners share that went into his.. nothing ever made me madder than to have a guy baling my hay,have it on the ground,break down and have to wait till his wife or him got paid to make repairs. Ive seen I dont know how many guys go out of buisness this way. Put that money back now,eventualy it will come in handy and it could save your whole buisness. Not preaching just saying.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
