Likewise.
Rowing up hay
- Thread starter trewern
- Start date
most of our fields are a funny shape and don't work out right if you go up and down anyway,
comes from years using a haybob for me but our fields tend to work better going anticlockwise
always ted grass the opposite way to the mower as it turns it better
The old experts will always say you should tedd in the opposite direction to the mower. Raking direction is dictated by the windrower arm surely unless your putting a row in the hedge.

The old 200 haybob always followed better anti- clockwise but a conventional small baler has to go clockwise to keep clear of rows.
Ideally throw it over in the morning once the dew is off the ground, then row up and follow with the baler after checking it is ready to bale.
If you cannot do that then just wait till the dew is gone and row up, give it an hour or so and bale if it is ready.
If you are working late and the dew starts to fall then, so long as the forecast is ok, stop. Take the least worst choice
No way you can say start at 2 and stop at 6:15 - work with what you have in front of you.

6pm this time of year really?
My elder cousin says they always used to bale hay “after tea” as that’s the hottest part of the day.

One of my neighbors came and found me late yesterday afternoon baling my own. His contractor had had a breakdown, so could I pull his in. So I got there after 8pm to do 7 ha in 4 fields - and no headlands
For the sake of the baler - do fudging headlands, two preferably
Press Alt and 3 at the same time

Thanks for that.
Now, can you tell me how to reverse the mouse/pointer thingy so it doesn't blot out the explanation on icons (if you see what I mean). That one really annoys me!
Been using a Mac for a few years now and still find them frustrating and annoying!

Sorry OT.
I have both, actually, but the Mac is meant to be better for pictures and video which is what I do. PC is for the books.
