BillParticipantMark do not fill your spreader too full I put a flake or two of old hay at the back by beaters if you do not have a tailgate to help hold in or if chain does not move ash corectly spread hay in bottom of spreader before loading most of all wait untill you know you will have some rain after spreading to soak it in

BillParticipantI Got Away Without Tedding My Last Field Of Hay Leavey 2nd Cut 7 Acres Mowed Let Lay For A Day Raked Windrows Next Day Doubled Up Windrows 3rd Day Baled In Afternoon Made Great Hay Without This Heat I Would Have Tedded At Least Once
BillParticipantmade some beautiful 2nd cut dry hay square baled killed myself doing it those big round bales spoil you worse than the heat on the horses were the flies even with nets on they would not stand and were always stomping and shaking gave it up and put them in the barn where it was cool and fly free taking the day off tomorrow and going to the lake finish up 2nd cut later in the week praying for rain bone dry dusty and water levels going way down
BillParticipantDone with 1st cut here in southern vermont real good quality but half a normal crop no rain in may started 2nd cut this week yeilds seem to be twice as much as normal all our rain came first two weeks of june glover nice and thick 30% bloom hope to make up the shortage from earlier cut should be a good 3rd cut if I can get this all off by 2nd week of july made some dry hay used horses to tedd and rake will try to get pictures of my ground drive cart with rotary rake
