Today I worked 4 hours then went home to the farm. Sun was shining and looked nice, so despite the weather forecast Dad & me decided to just cut the 1 feild we plan to plow under yet and put corn into. I got the headlands cut and just swung it to the left side for the 2nd time of the season when a metal line blew for the swing. I took it as a sign to quit and wait until the shops are open on Monday.
Just a couple drops so far but we're under tornado watch here until 8 yet. Coulda either fixed it with hoses put together (18' long) or hooked onto the 9' New Idea haybine, but figure it just isn't worth trying to rush it yet.
O well. Monday or so we'll bring in the bad line to a local shop that makes steel lines and have them make 3 (2 for the swing, 1 for the lift) as they're all getting rusty under the clamps, which is where the one line blew.
Hopefully next weekend is better so we can cut TH/Fri and chop Sat/Sun. So far they call for rain overnight on Thursday, and probably all next weekend too.
Plus side is, the hay had a slow start because of the cold spring. Now some of it looks to be about waist tall and it's still growing. Saw 1 bloom, that was it. We Oughta fill a 9'x150' bag pretty fast with it...
