Cutting Bahia Grass

Posted by James Howell on July 30, 2008 at 10:49:03 from (144.162.41.172):

Last weekend Nancy and I cut, raked, and baled what we call the Hunt Place, the Old Barn, and the Long Hill.

The Hunt Place is a 5 acre tract that was originally owned by Mr. Anglo Saxon Hunt back at the turn of the century.

My grandmother passed away when my dad was 7 and Mr. and Mrs. Hunt took care of him while his dad was away.

Saturday was the coolest day at 102 degrees.

We used 'Big John' our 55 70 diesel and the 350 sickle mower.

Some how I managed to break the spring on the mower.

The good part is that it did not cause any problems and the local JD dealer can get a new spring for only $125!

Sunday was the hottest day at 105 degrees, so 'Old John' Nancy's 48A got to 'sport' the umbrella and pull the 640 hay rake.

Some how I managed to break an eye-bolt on the left frame support.

This shut down the raking operation late Sunday evening until I repaired it with another bolt.

Monday was only 103 degrees, so we baled with 'Vernon' our 56 70 gas and the KRONE 260 baler.

Sharpened the right twine knife after tying problems during last operation.

No missed ties on the right any of the bales.

In all we put up 45 bales (4x5); 13 bales on the Hunt Place, 4 bales on the Old Barn, and 28 bales on the Long Hill.

These bales are 95% Bahia grass and 5% grasshoppers.

Somewhere up there Mr. Anglo Saxon Hunt is smiling.
