This weather is a barsteward, costs a fortune to make a load of sh!t.View attachment 202046 Today just before the rain, turning them over the second time to get them right off the yellow bits.
Waste of money the grass will be dead but millions of fungi to make it go mouldy , swan vestaswrap
Even here in sunny Essex, I have made 200 acres or so of hay, none rain-free. Thankfully none as bad as the last 14 acres (see above) but that was heading for a boiler anyway due to thistle inclusion.Seen worse this year round the country this year. It's now just a case of getting it off the field to save the sward underneath it. Either chop it or bale it and dump it in the midden to rot down, at a push you could use it for bedding but not going to do your or you're animals' lungs any good.
It really has been a fudgeing awful year.
I am not sure about other makes, you have to move each tine when you change from ted to row-up, takes about 3 minutes.How are you finding the 'baskets' on the Tedder? Saw them at livestock expo wondered if they could be made to fit other makes
Surly no one would try to make hay now
