Hi everyone - My fiance and I just bought our dream 30 acres here in Maine. Timothy and clover as far as the eye can see. We are on a tight budget as we have a wedding to pay for this summer, but we need to make some hay to feed our critters. We have a horse drawn #7 mower that is operational, 3 fat horses and about $3000 in cash to make this happen.

The baling seems to be the hardest part to get done cheaply. Anyone have any advice for us?
