Well then I'm good either way. I think it's just like every other thing in the world, too much of anything isn't good for you. If you're getting enough sun to burn I think it can't be good for you. I don't think sunscreen is good for you either. Hence the reason for the hat and long sleeves.

www.dadant.com/catalog/m01049-dadant-white-plastic-helmet They're the best sun hat there is. We call them safari hats. Some call them bee keepers hats and sometimes they're called sun helmets. They're plastic so the don't get soaked with swear and they wipe off if you get them dirty. Has an adjustable band to fit your head and holds it off your head which makes it cooler.

I have a Vermeer 9 foot cut. I just cut it. Let it dry unstoppable. Worry about no crimper. Don’t need a crimper Bell hunters acres a hay always dried good. I don’t need no tater to dry it back out. Usually a big crimper will put it in a big wind row and it won’t dry out so you gotta stand it back out re-rake it again, 9 foot three point laid out flat all kinds of hay and it always dried for me. The rake bailed up up wonderful
@thebalermanАй бұрын
I struggle to make sense of your comment. But I will say everyone has their way of doing things. Crimper work. I can lay it out flat. The issue is the ground is wet. I windrow so the sun can dry it out before spreading with the tedder. This also keeps me from driving on the hay which it won't dry where I have driven on it and smashed it in the damp soil. Where are you located?

It’s a good idea to shut the tractor off when you get off don’t leave the power running. You don’t ever know when one of them will fly apart and hit you shut the tractor off before getting off unless you’re gonna look at it.

My dad uses the silo king dry with a gandy box. I have thought about going to that. But I believe the acid works better to preserve but for borderline I think the dry is good and seems like it's good to put on everything. I don't like the corrosivness of the acid. I have really noticed much affect on the baler but where it drips on concrete it will make it break up and flake.

Yes I know. Just once you use a double wheel rake there is just no going back to spending all day raking. I'm by myself and can afford to spend all day raking then have no time to bale. Double rotary is way out of my price range. Been looking for a double hitch and a couple bar rakes. Or possibly one like my dad's but haven't found one close enough for the right price.
