Determined- Sorry, I should have gone into more detail...This one field will produce between 37 to 42 small round bales(~750 lbs.) per cutting.
Small rounds sell for minimum of $20 per bale. So, average 40 bales for this one field X $20 per bale= $800.
Usually, things are done on 1/3 here. 1/3 to landowner and 2/3 to cropper.
So, 1/3 of $800 is $240 X 3 cuttings= $720. When you add up the rest of my fields...it does come to a sum of money.
Determined- "Seeing as your time, fuel + wear and tear on your equipment is worth nothing then I guess you should keep on cutting to preserve the nutrients in the grass you are never going to use so it can grow enough to justify a second cut of wasted time and fuel." I think I would be better justified in just mulching the hay in this field instead giving $2400 worth of hay away.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
