    I just got in from doing tractor stuff myself, mine was loader work, as I watched the grass blow in the wind while you were cutting I got to thinking about how many times that the Lord and I have conversations while I am outside working, that made me smile, God bless you my brother

    I’m very impressed by the lushness of your grass and even more surprised by the ability of your JD. Hay seasons for you have all too often been as up & down as your hills, but praying the breakdowns are few and the bales are many. My blessings to you and your Dad as always 🙏🏻

      If the weather allows us to get everything cut and baled soon the yields are looking good! Thanks for watching

      I really enjoyed the JD and the new mower combination. I feel comfortable using it. Ben's tractor is a little too big for me to be comfortable with.

    Farmers around here started cutting something two weeks ago. Not sure if it was alfalfa or hey, but I was surprised to see it drying in the fields. I saw a field of barley that needs cut. It’s going to be a challenge bailing dry hey with all the rain. Enjoy The Journey - Cheers

    Your hay field looks great. We have no water for the hay farm and still in drought. I did get some water for the cattle pasture, but looks like the last for the entire year.

    Have you looked into tuning the 5045e? An extra 25hp could help it mow a gear higher and pull hills better.
