That rake driver and baler driver work well together!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

That is what I thought It is a father and son

[@colmanlong1032]

That baler makes a very good clean bale.

[@rodneyscrivner2504]

Just something about watching people cut and bale hay, pretty cool

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I enjoy it too. Thanks for watching and for commenting

I have an EA Wicked Bucket on order. I was happy you see you back drag with yours. I enjoyed the video with the hay bailing from your drone.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I’ve been really happy with the bucket. No issues with it Thanks for watching and for commenting

[@watkinstreefarm6880]

So I was checking out your pond. I have a small pond and am tired of weed eating around it. Keep looking at sickle mowers. Wow they are pricey!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Yes they are. I just back the brush hog over the edge of the pond. I'm actually going to be doing that in a video the next few days. I'm also hoping to expand the pond in the next couple months Thanks for watching

[@WichhartAcres]

That drone footage is sexy!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thank you sir

Hay is busy around me. Most have already got their second cut done and maybe they will be able to get a 3rd depending on rain.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Yeah, mine was definitely cut late. It’s kind of a low quality hay and our property can hold water They’re only going to get two cuts for sure

[@andrewanderson1436]

@@RockhillfarmYT your hay looks good. Around here some ppl cut off the highway sides and some places have brave ppl and cut and bale trash and all. So I think your hay is good to go lol.

[@BillyP55]

That was a nice variety of equipment. How much does one of those bales sale for... retail?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

It varies quite a bit by the season and by the quality of hay. $25 to $60 per bale here

[@BillyP55]

@@RockhillfarmYT From following Josh on Stoney Ridge Farmer I was expecting those prices. Thanks for the reply.

[@jeffmayeux1692]

Hey Brock, I guess the John Deere 2038R could make hay with smaller implements. Just would be time consuming. Am I correct? Those guys on your property are like a well oiled machine processing the hay.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

It is possible to make hay with my tractor but it’s not the most efficient way. They have mini baling set ups that produce the smaller round bales. Probably I could run an older square Baler Definitely not a full size round Baler I looked at the mini Balers and almost bought one. Maybe in the future

[@medjoolmaker]

how long does it take to grow till its ready for processing? do you have to seed it again or does it grow all by itself? how much does a bail sell for? retail/wholesale? im from florida, have no idea on this type of process, interesting... thanks

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Ideally you get three cuts per year in the spring summer and fall but that is dependent on conditions. I will only get two cuts this year. Price of a bale can depend on the type of grass and the quality of the hay it and if it has weeds in it. It can range anywhere from $25-$75 a bale. We don’t fertilize or seed or anything . It just grows on its own so it’s a lower quality hay. If you put more effort into it you can get more for your hey but you’re spending money on it as well The people who Balitch typically get 2/3 of the profit in the Landowner gets 1/3 Thanks for watching and commenting

[@medjoolmaker]

@@RockhillfarmYT sweet thanks for education 👍👍

[@rickvaughan8993]

Hay equipment is so pricey it is a wonder how they make money cutting and bailing it for sale?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

The only answer is high volume. Most of the guys I know are doing thousands of acres to pay for the equipment
