Haying 2021 - July thru Aug 16
Рет қаралды 3,024
3 жыл бұрынA compilation of our haying footage from 7/14 through 8/16 of 2021 in Conway, MA.
The first three weeks of July saw unseasonably wet weather, putting a giant pause on haying and creating some pretty soggy field conditions. As we still had 1/3 of our first cut to do, best laid plans went out the window - and starting in late July we began hopping around to whatever fields we could physically get on - late first cut and early second cut alike.
July 14 - Aug 16th saw 2188 more bales, and 26 hay days.
(We are a small 45 acre haying operation in Conway, MA - making all small square bales for the local food, fiber, and livestock community. Learn more about our farm at www.windrowfarmconway.com, or follow us on instagram @windrow.farm)
Equipment List:
Massey Ferguson 275 Tractor
Massey Ferguson 165 Tractor
Massey Ferguson 135 tractor
New Holland HM234 disc mower
Vicon RS410T Tedder
New Holland 256 hay rake
Massey Ferguson 124 baler (with New Holland 70 bale thrower)
Four mutt/rascal/cobjob hay wagons :)
Thanks for watching!

The 135 is the right size for raking & tedding.

Yeah, it does a nice job! Though being gas, it actually gets fewer hours per gallon than the 165 (about half of it, when I calculated in 2016).

Great video! Enjoyed all the Massey action. Your sure had some nice 2nd cutting hay there, I don’t think I’ve ever had any look that good! The weather is either to wet or too dry!

Thanks!!! I’m not sure I’ve ever had any that nice either! It grew like crazy with all the wet weather, but meant I hit it super early while waiting for other fields to dry. I’ll likely get third cut on some of those, and not even second cut on some of the late fields. What a weird year…

Hi there, thanks for commenting! Which hay are you referring to? Agreed - we ted our hay as a regular part of the process for the same reason. (Unless you meant the damp mulch batch from the thumbnail? I wish I had been able to - we got 4 more inches of rain the next two days, so I’m grateful I got it off the field even though it wasn’t worth anything. Such a small field, it would have been a nightmare to dry back out…) Thanks for watching!

@@windrowfarm thank you, I'm looking to add something to my mf224 with mf212 thrower. First year with it and very Surprised how much hay you can jam in ît. Did 1000 bales in about 5 hours with fuel breaks and such last week. Totaled 1800 last week, very happy with it and the ford 4610 I bought to pull it.

@@MAF_LTD that’s awesome!! I’d love a 224 some day. That’s a lot of hay! Most I’ve done in a day is 600 or so. Where abouts are you located?
