I cut about 5 acres here in KY last week. There was only a 20% chance of late afternoon scattered rain on the day I was going to bale. You guessed it, I got about 3/4 of the way finished and a pop up shower soaked the windrows. Only way to guarantee it will rain is to try and bale hay.... Good luck!!

I can see that farming is no picnic, believe me! When I was a18-19 y.o. teenager, I used to disc, plow, spring-tooth, drive truck during wheat harvest, on the local wheat farms in my area of the country. Back then, it was an idyllic way of life. But I can see that for a farm/ranch to function efficiently, there's got to be a good knowledge of mechanics as well as farming experience. Pete, you are a very fascinating dude, believe me!

Growing up in the 80's and 90's on a small farm in Southeast Indiana I mowed a lot of orchard grass hay with a 656 and a 472 NH Haybine. I really miss it, just watching your videos bring back so many memories for me. Anytime I ever wrapped wet grass hay around the rollers, I found the easiest and quickest way was to just cut it straight across the rollers with a sharp utility knife and slowly engage and it will unplug instantly.
