Got a surprise 1.18" since 3 pm. It was only a 50% chance, but it came down pretty good.

Maybe tomorrow will be our lucky day, percentage chance for Saturday has increased from 36% (Wednesday) to 68% currently. It's been over 3 weeks since there was enuf to make the wafer in the gauge move.

Boy's just gotta have their toys.
Looks like it should be the source of much fun, especially once all the initial modding is done.

Neither of dads had the hydraulic hitch just a rolling drawbar on a fixed support.

I just use the support/u-mount for the wagons & have a ball on the removable hitch for the splitter.

The umbrella post was welded to the bracket for the hitch

It’s got a torque amplifier that works.. ant that “fast hitch” was a decent concept, but never really went anywhere.. it does have a 3rd link also though..

And it runs the old square baler pretty effortlessly...

We’ll try it on the newer one sometime this year.

I never got to see a baler from that view. I got to ride on the hay rack behind, stacking the bales to haul in to the barn. A penny a bale!

 

[nbbt]

Morning fellas. Hope everyone gets their planned chores done b4 your moisture event.

 

[Jetmd]

I never had enough seniority to run the baler either.

Got tired of that sh*t and went my own way.

I helped my brother put up hay 1 time and helped put up hay for my Grandmother a couple of times.
I decided then that cutting firewood in august was better than putting up hay anytime of the year.

That was Wednesday...

We’re 2” of precip into this wet system already.

I think it covers from Texas to KC..

Morning fellas.

 

[Workshop]

We had a place in the country years ago among some dairy farms. Some friends would put up hay with a machine they drove through the field that picked up the square bales and stacked them up on its bed. Then they drove to the barn and the bed tilted the stack up and set it. It only took 2 of them to do the whole process of cutting, raking, baling and putting it in the barn and never had to get off a tractor.

After custom baling for years, a couple hundred squares here and there ain’t too bad.

We still bale a couple thousand straw bales every year too. Whatever it takes to fill the barn.

Last year was about 4500
This year will only need about 2000

New Holland bale wagon..

Great tools when they aren’t broken..

I’ve thought about getting one, but most I’ve found have been pretty clapped out..
