@@tythefarmguy yes we have a fairly large farm and we rotate the crops everything is wet and soggy here so going on the land does more harm than good. It won't be long before we will be busy again and as all farmers we look forward to harvest. I was very impressed with ty the is picking things up quickly and once his legs grow a bit longer I'm sure he will be in the combine. Watching him fall asleep in the cab brought back happy memories of my boys at his age,100mph one minute then out like a light bless him I follow the millennium farmer and woody both in USA Thank you for your reply Stay safe and healthy Tommy from York uk
I'm guessing you're doing straight timothy. Without any conditioner, tine or roller, how long does it take to make hay with your Vermeers? Growing up - aka a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, we ran a New Idea Cutditioner for a timothy/alfalfa mix in western NY. For those who may not know, a Cutditioner was kind of a flail mower with wide (6"?) blades. The theory was that after cutting, the hay went up & over where the butt end of the stems would make contact with the metal shroud, causing them to split thereby speeding up dry down. We could never make hay any faster than 3 days. Dad tried once to do it in 2; damn near burned the barn down. Always wondered if a crimping roller would have made 2 days possible.
