And it ain't ever good when I do! All these rainy days we've been having, I've been doing a lot of thinking about things, mostly about hay. Which isn't cut yet. For the past 3 or 4 years I've had a neighbor put up my hay and paid him for it. But I'm wondering, would I be better off cutting and baling my own? I have an opportunity to buy a complete hay setup, which consists of a 7' disc mower, a 256 New Holland rope-maker rake, and a 630 New Holland 4x4 baler w/ electric tie. The price is right on all of it. The only real thing stopping me is, the biggest tractor I own is a 300 Farmall. Would it even run the baler? I'm nearly certain it'd run the mower and my B John Deere is plenty for the rake, but the baler is my biggest concern. I remember my wife's uncle telling me that he ran an 851 NH chain baler with a 3000 Ford, but could only bale going down hill and on the flat. I wouldn't have a problem doing that, but I'd sure hate to spend the money on all the things I listed and not be able to use them. Anyone doing something similar, or have experience running a round baler with a smaller tractor? I used to bale a heckuva lot of hay, but I ran either a 214 JD or a NH 277. I know exactly 0 about a round baler. Any input would be appreciated.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
