we try and keep machines clean and housed when not in use, just doing those two things really helps. Your machines are very clean too.

Thanks for filming this, very informative!

[@InsanityJoe87]

Really nice setup! Hope to see more videos

I know this is work for you, but if I lived closer, I'd come run up and down the rows for you! I miss my days helping my cousin bail hay. For an IT guy it looks very relaxing. Of course another man's hay always looks greener ;-)

fine size field, mower is spotless, very tidy job, fair play!

Wheel lines, hand lines and a reel gun.

Would a 10 wheel rake with a 21' working width work behind your 1431? I see you have a 6 wheel? Thanks

[@FrontPorchFarm]

I think it would. I now have a Sitrex Pro17, and its a great size the the 14' swather.

Nice video and how many acres of hay do you cut and was wondering if you could make a living off of just hay farming

[@FrontPorchFarm]

We far about 300 acres of hay. Our market garden is what keeps us farming year in and year out. Some years we make money on hay and some years we break even. It depends on the weather, hay prices ,and also what crop rotation our fields are in.

My brother laughs at me because I can't do square corners with his fixed touge discbind.
