No need to worry....no barn is going to burn down here...we are talking 30 bales, and I have them stacked loose on a hay rack sitting under a carport that I use for equipment storage, so they are getting plenty of air flow. The windrows are going to get flipped again today about 11-11:30 and start baling about 1ish. Some of you bring up very good points and that was what I was after. Bruce never heard of a hay dryer...sounds like a large base with big powerful fans that you stack the hay on and it blows air up and thru the stacked hay. yes a moisture tester is in my future...maybe not soon but eventually. I don't know actual numbers but I would say of the 30 bales 25 of them were 18-22% moisture and the other 5 could have been around the 25% mark...now I am going to say today it will be under 15% moisture...we shall see...I am guessing at least 360 bales today...equipment Massey 180/massey#12/ & ez-trail bale basket...first time I have got to use the basket...part of the reason I wanted to make hay last night...to tune in the baler tension wise for sending bales up the chute...you could not have wiped the smile off my face last night watching those bales drop in the basket...square baling by myself and not running back and forth from rack to tractor every 5-7 bales!!

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the ...
