Here it is September and because of so much rain in June, July and August, we just cut our first hay field. Perfect weather, nice hay. Got home from church and pulled the baler to the field. Hay wagon was already there. Wife made a couple laps around with the rake. And I hooked the baler and wagon up. Mick and his girlfriend were stacking bales ( with terrible, rotten attitudes) made 2 and and half laps around the field, 55 bales, and the little do-hicky that holds tension on the cable going to the needles broke a weld and dropped. Busted both needles..... Every one we know that does hay is baling like crazy, rain coming back in Tuesday evening. No one want the hay. Already raked and ready. Oh well. Gonna see about getting needles brazed. Have a friend who offered to buy all my hay equipment on Saturday....... should have sold out. It was great fun, but hard work. With our boys spending time with their girlfriends help is impossible to find. Would rather collect,fix,and play with tractors then bust our tails for a little hay money. If I owned enough land to bale on my property it would be different. Really gets old making so many trips to the hay field. 15 miles one way. The miles add up fast, really cuts into profit. ( I'm almost positive some of y'all mentioned this last year) I wonder if he will buy a baler that needs a little work??
This is the part that the weld failed on. Couldn't tell there was an issue in pre- flight inspection. Pulling the wagon worked pretty good. Definitely need a longer chute.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
