Hello all and Amy welcome to the world of haymaking! We started off in haymaking about six years ago with no machinery and a six acres piece of ground.It has been tuned and tweaked alot since then. We currently do about 130 acres of grass and alfalfa hay and about 100 acres of straw. The straw is done on the half with the neighbor ( I don't have to worry about planting, combine...ect). We use an Allis WD45(1200.00) and a New Holland 67 baler (500.00) Upgraded to a rubber wheel rake this year (750.) We used a steel wheel rake for the last five.....it was a great rake just sounded like hell going down the road. John Deere haybine model 1209 (1500.) We started off the first year a borrowed a wagon....now we are up to seven wagons. We tried the first year to use a stand alone New Holland baler and it was very finicky in hot weather. I would pass on a stand alone unless it was a last resort. The old New Holland balers are out there at a fair price. All of our machines are old and constantly need pieces and parts and tinkering. I bought machines that were in our price range and have done alot of swapping around,repair, tinkering and such to get to where everything was reliable. Age of the equipment, color, or brand doesn't get the hay in the barn, but reliable does. Enjoy your horses and Congratulations on getting married!
