I got 50 some. I’m gonna bale tomarrow. Then a little more to cut.

 

[Steve]

If I had to do 900 small squares.....well just kill me now.

The actual number was by some miracle an even 1000 squares! Best part was we were contracted to cut and bale it. Not pick it up. WIN!!!

I finished up a little while ago. The first cutting got us 131 rolls.

I believe we have baled around 2000 squares this year so far. We should get about 100 rounds.

Just a few years ago, getting 20 - 30 rolls was a big deal for me. Now, if winter comes, and there ain't 200 or more in the barn, I'm in trouble.

They really do, but my bulls eat an amazing amount of hay. Hard to believe just how much they can put away.....

Oh yeah. Big boys eat even more. I still watch them eat for just a few every time I’m not busy. Amazing really

Note the water and mud still on the wheels, while still baling.

It was good hay, but it was 3 weeks late cutting!

All in one day.

 

[Steve]

That's how it always goes!

We blew a hose on the round baler today with half a windrow left!

That tire is repairable though?

Do you use washer fluid or a rim gaurd type fluid?

 

[Mastermind]

I have a PTO seal leaking like crazy on my 2640. Prolly pull it apart in the morning.

 

[amberg]

Do you use washer fluid or a rim guard type fluid?

They use rim guard type fluid, Don't think calcium chloride is allowed anymore. At least here. ( EPA ) again!

( methanol ) type fluid!
