Baling mostly clover and timothy, it takes a good bale to hit 1800 pounds. Costs between 10 and 12 bucks a bale. I will probably never get back to doing all the hay, work mornings 6 days a week now.

Lost 25 rolls last year because the guy rolling forgot a field and it got rained on, so I bought a small square baler to put up enough to fill the barn (rolls are stored elsewhere).

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
