I only check out this site on my computer. I don't use my phone for forum stuff. I generally read it to clear my mind of the job at night. My wife calls it decompressing.

Rolling hay today.....

Got a 4x5 roll per acre. Not terrible for a second cutting.....but I usually get more.

Gotta go cut mine. Weeds are getting bad on about 5 acres. It’s cow hay. But I need to clean one up. And get ready to pick corn. Getting ready to get busy

It’s sort of farm related, it is an International & a sweeet looking one at that.

 

[Mastermind]

The last 12 acres I rolled made 33 bales.

Holy hell.

I ran the cows on it over the winter. Only cut it this one time.

Wow.

 

[ajschainsaws]

That's pretty sweet Andrew! Looks like it needs the finial drives dropped a bit to level it out?

yes steve it could do definitely also he’s got the tractor sitting on 11x28’s it would look better And faster on 11x32’s

 

[ajschainsaws]

Quit being so good at it.

Thanks it helps when you got good ground there’s plenty of clay out here

 

[ajschainsaws]

I need to look at our 1210. Think it rubbed a hole in one of the power steering lines, but it's at dad's place so with all the other jobs it slips under the radar all the time.

1210 good strong tractor you oughta get it fixed up soon

 

[ajschainsaws]

Sent from Hoskey hilltop

Yes plenty on room under the mudgaurds

Well this a first for me, in 40+years of being around large round bales I have never had one break in half. I have seen & made some damn lopsided bales that stood on end but never had one break in half. My buddy failed to adjust his rake narrower as a result didn’t get enough hay in the middle of them. He has about 15 of them in this field no idea what the rest of them look like. I recommended he find someone with a grapple bucket to round them up. Lol. What a mess

 

[Mastermind]

That field looked pretty thin for sure.

What brand / how many joules fence charger you use. I’ve got a problem.

 

[jakethesnake]

Anyone with cattle ????

 

[jakethesnake]

I’ve got 3 strands of smooth wire. With a few “teenagers” feeders. I can’t keep them in. Wondering if upgrading charger would be enough. As soon as I can I’m hauling the &$@$ things away. I’d quote all you boys who have cattle but I cannot remember who has them and who doesn’t. Any input appreciated.

 

[jakethesnake]

The big cows/bull stays home.

I use a charger from Tractor Supply. It's a 6 joule unit that is supposed to be good for 100 miles of wire.

I use barbed wire for my strand.

How's your grounding? Any problems I've had in the past ended up being bad ground more times than not.

Especially if it gets dry.
