We baled 4 acres on Tuesday, cut as a tester to make sure everything was running ok. Got 50 acres down now and going to cut another 60 tomorrow. All small bales.

Did over a 1000 little bales last weekend for friends & neighbours, got to my own did 30 & baler shat itself, so ended up round baling it - easier to handle not as good to sell. Til now on & fingers crossed for decent weather to allow a 2nd cut!

Big time carting! But it fits nicely into the barn

Never seen such a poor crop cut for silage on the next door farm. Presume there hoping for a reasonable second cut.

Cut most of it now ..with a very good haymaking forecast well into next week..... and its making fast.

All thats left then will be 20 odd acres which can be wrapped later and the EK3 areas near the river which cant be cut till 1st of july anyway....
happy days.

There on a trailer in the photo was taking them off to stack in the shed

Well got 70 acres on the ground and thrown about let’s see how it makes. Some conventional and some 4ft rounds How many turns to make good hay in this heat? what the pros and cons of rowing up the night before baling. It Would allow me to bale more the day after. Here’s some pics for today... last one escaped the mower but couldn’t escape the dog poor bunny.

Had to be too good to be true Tedder went pop today... grass is drying to quick if any thing will be all shrivelled away by the time I get to bale it the colours fading fast can’t win

@Forage Trader how much are you paying for a lorry load of new ley

It depends. If it’s only my son and I, ie we turn and row up before baling and carting only a couple of thousand. If someone else is rowing up and carting then 4-5,000 maximum 6,000. I have a customer who carts his bales in the evening after his work. Because we’ve baled and packed them he can shift 1,000 bales/ hour, one bloke with a tractor and loader loading the trailers in the field, one bloke hauling the trailers back to the yard and the third unloading trailers and stacking in the barn with a telehandler.
