I cut all my hay with 2 New Holland 456 sickle bar mowers.I generally mow with a 31 HP Yanmar and run 4 1/2 MPH with the 7ft mower.Gets the job done but not real fast for sure but in my area real fast equals torn up equipment as there are lots of stationary rocks to hit and very irregular fields.I bale about 400 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 bales a year with a couple NH 851 balers and use a NH 256 to rake most times.My two mowers cost me $500 each and the biggest expense is a new sickle assembly every year at about $125.Plus I like how the mowers cut the hay I hate the way the the disc mowers destroy the hay.Sickle mowers lays it down evenly and all I do most time is let it dry the day I cut, the next day and then rake and bale on the 3rd.No having to run a tedder beating the hay to pieces.Plus when I sell a load of cattle or goats I can do what I want with the money not make equipment payments.

But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
