I cut my 7 acres and cut a few acres for two friends of mine. Had almost 6 days of sun, above average temps, and no humidity which is rare in central IL in May. Yields were significantly less than last year, but I got it cut and baled with no rain. Grasses were just past boot stage and alfalfa was budded but not quite blooming so the quality is sure there. I'd like to get it tested somewhere. I have half of the first cut sold already and until second cut is in the barn I'm keeping it for my cows.
Ended up making 397 small squares on roughly 12 acres. My old 24T baler made it to #394 before having a broken bale in the chamber for no apparent reason. It missed one earlier at twine ball change where it was trying to tie a knot over the splice in twine balls. My 13 year old boy made some big strides in his ability to stack hay on a rack. I get 5 layers and a tie layer on a 7x14 rack for 88 bales, he was able to get 4 layers and a tie for a total of 72. Think I'm going to upgrade from my JD 894 rake this season. Maybe find a nice NH 256 for sale local.
