klause is that pure timothy hay?

[Hopperbin]

Is it even possible for a swath like that to dry out?

[Hopperbin]

I hope to see bales in 2 days. Saturday is rain here.

Now that's a pretty sight! And it brings back fond memories of an 1155 that once roamed the fields here - until it met a sad end under the control of a junior operators who had not yet learned to watch gauges . . . }~;

We're going to be baling tomorrow... and a short period of time on Saturday and we'll be done with all 500 acres of hay.


That timothy is 80% Promeese Timothy, and 20% red clover... horse hay basically.

Those swaths, if I cut on Monday, are bone dry and ready to bale on Wednesday... The 1170s from Hesston do an amazing job crimping windrows.
