Southtowns, I had been in your shoes a couple times, this is the best way for me. I am not going to comment on whether or not you will actually be successful on Friday and Saturday. You cant control conditions, you can only control how you handle the hay. Day 1, mow as early in the morning as you can. Generally that is when ‘most’ of the dew has burned off. Set your mower to make a wide windrow and mow about as high as you can, say 3-4 inches stubble. Let dry for 4-5 hours in the middle of the day. Later in the afternoon, say around 4pm hit it with the tedder. Day 2- check on things in the morning after all the dew has burned off, you will probably want/need to ted again. Hit field with tedder. Once finished tedding, begin raking. You will want to start raking the same hay you tedded first. That is, if you started tedding on the right side of the field, begin raking on the right side of the field. Let the hay dry in the windrows as long as you can before baling later in the day. Obviously you want to schedule yourself such that you are done baling at dusk.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
