Got a haying question for you guys. I have a small hay field ( just a hobby ) and I am having problems with the baler picking up the windrow. The field is mostly fescue with a little clover. The size of the windrow and the height of the pickup reel on the baler do not seem to be the problem, it seems like the grass is too "slick" and won't stick together, it kind of slips thru the pickup teeth. I was wondering if adding some timothy or alfalfa would help. Also can I just broadcast it in after light disking and is it too late to do it this year? (central Oh.) As this is just a hobby for me I don't want to spend too much time and money on this. I'm using a JD 24T baler and a Farmall M tractor. I'm also wondering if putting a small bend at the end of the pickup teeth would help. Thanks for any advise you can give.
