This video shows some of the activities involved in putting up our first crop of alfalfa, 2020.
First, we cut the alfalfa with a CaseIH WD2303 windrower/mower. Afterwords, it is left for a few days to dry. Once it's dried sufficiently, we then rake it with a Hesston V-Rake, pulled by a John Deere 4230. After it is raked, we let it dry out a few more days before baling. Baling was done with the John Deere 4640 PowerShift pulling a Hesston 4790 large-square baler.
After the hay is baled, we haul it into the sheds. The hauling is done with two loader tractors, a John Deere 4020 PowerShift Diesel, and a John Deere 3020 Diesel. The "haulers" are a Ford F30 with IronBull goose-neck trailer, as well as a John Deere 5020 pulling two old truck wagons (they were originally made out of truck frames).
