    The rain is a blessing and a curse, we have been fighting it in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. I just keep saying its part of farming, all we can do is leave it in the hands of the Good Lord and work hard!

      Usually this time of year it stops raining. So I’m doing my best not to complain, but that’s hard when you can’t get in the field. Thankfully we are done with our hay and full season brand now

    Suggestion, carry that bale low coming out of the field. It will keep your tractor stable and you safe

    Very nice hay and hay bailer. i have a new holland 450 roll belt net wrap... i had the twine bailer for over 25 years.. let me tell you.. if you can afford one.. once you get the net wrapper you will NEVER use twine again.. its like night and day... my old New holland as it aged i would have a problem with one side tying and the other not and it would get to wear if it was thick hay it would clog.. i bought a new net wrap in 2019.. no more clogs and no more worrying about one side not tying.

      I think net wrap would be awesome. Just a lot more money to spend. Maybe one day! Thanks for watching

    I grew up on a dairy farm in Maine. We almost never used a tedder. We had 2 New Holland Haybines and had the rear chute as wide open as it could go so we laid down wide swaths so it dried quickly.

    • @RouthFarms
      @RouthFarms  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Seems like the last several years we haven’t had a choice. If we don’t we just can’t get it dry all the way through and don’t want to risk mold or a fire.

      Down in the south the humidity kills hay drying, without a Tedder your lucky if you ever get hay up dry the way the weather is anymore. I always wanted to go to Maine do some hunting 👍

    New viewer - great content. Please keep the hose of the fire extinguisher from rubbing on the PTO. If the hose gets damaged, it won't work properly if you need it.

    • @RouthFarms
      @RouthFarms  Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks for watching! Nice catch on the hose. I really need to buy a mount and mount it on the baler somewhere. It was just rubbing on the plastic shroud of the pto, but I’m sure I definitely could eventually rub a hole in it.

    • @RouthFarms
      @RouthFarms  Před 2 měsíci

      It definitely can hurt the quality of hay by tedding especially things like alfalfa or clover. Here in NC our humidity is so high we have issues drying a lot of times if we don’t Ted it.
