this is interesting steve, first let me say looking at 1160's for sale you did well, (we need pics when you get it home steve) rereading your post I see a few problems that this fellow could run into here, 400 acres is a lot of hay to put up, cut, rake, and bale on rented fields (scattered over how big an area?) i'm thinking his move to buy all new equipment is to try and eliminate any breakdowns? (no guaranty there) haying 400 acres on one place is one thing, now you add in all the time he's going to be moving field to field, (is he by himself or hiring some help?) IF he gets all these fields baled up now he's bringing them all to one place to unroll and rebale into squares? (why not just square bale them?) WEATHER and time, your constantly looking for window long enough to get the hay cut, cured, raked and baled, I know i'm no different than anyone here that puts up hay, you are constantly looking over your shoulder (here i'm looking to the west) for any big black clouds heading your way! last year I got lucky and both cuts where in the hay shed before the rain (2nd cut beat the rain by 4 hours) year before got rain on both cuts, now add in the time to go back and turn your swaths to dry. it will be interesting to see how he makes out, keep us posted steve if you hear how he makes out.
