Take all the cab cladding and windscreen off the safety frame on the 135 and stick the haybob on that, the breeze will keep dust off you, spent many a happy hour tedding with an old 35
if those holes start to get too big, do what i did and weld a large thick washer above the hole where you need it... any over hang from the washer just grind off.
Awesome video Richard. I operate a 360 machine with no air conditioning and it’s a killer in the hot weather. I always take a cool bag with ice water to drink and a ham&pickle with crisps, keeps me going. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning mate,I remember a farm I worked on in Wales, when we had finished bailing etc at about 10 at night ,we would all pull up in out tractors and trailers and the farmers wide would bring a nice cold crate of cider and some burgers and chicken ,it went down a treat.happy haying mate,Monday is supposed to be hot.
I think the old haybob does a better job because my neighbor has one of those big tedders and it beats his hay to death after hes been in a field his hays flat and the seeds been knocked out. Ive got the same haybob as you and yes it may take longer but the hays puffed up better for the wind to blow through it, with this hot weather we've only had to turn ours once but for my neighbor has turned his 2 to 4 times. Great video cracked on
I remember when I worked on the beef farm in my youth my boss had a haybob like that and I can understand why. Even though it's small it dose two jobs with one bit of kit. So if Harry did get his way and you upgrade to a new tedder you'd probably have to get a windrower also unless you just left the haybob in rowing mode. Great video as always Richard 👍🏻
I know hay is hard work .but I have some fantastic memories I remember years ago when we would be at the hay all the neighbours even the very older generation there will be piking the grass out from the ditch and even stacking the Bales in the field after the baila
Nice Tedder, In South Texas we are normally always dry so we don't use them. We started using a small Square Hay Grappler. Check us out. And great video.
Just curious Richard, Do the legs off the broken thyne's ever cause any problems by getting picked up when you're bailing, or does the bailer have big magnets to catch things like that?
@@thefunkyfarmer Hello Richard. I am wondering if the dry conditions are something that is happening this year. I live in Florida on the east coast just opposite of Orlando, as you look on a map, and our weather has been unusually dry for this late in the year. I believe that your weather is affected by the offshore ocean currents as is our weather. Do you think that the dryness you are experiencing is a bit unusual for this time of year? I am so glad that you are able to put in a good crop of hay for this winter. It might offset the cost of petrol for you later in the year. As always, here is wishing my cousins across the pond, the best. Thank you for sharing with us on your channel.
@@thefunkyfarmer For real, Richard!!! In Florida, we know how to wear shorts, light shirts and tennis shoes in the Summer. Hay ho! Twenty years ago, you probably didn't have the financial assest available to you. I know you made your decissions to do the best you could with what you had. ❤
