Got another 6 loads in today. Bales weighing about 1100#. Got about 200 tn on hand now so I feel better about winter coming. Cindy helped me swap the bucket on the loader from the wide bucket to the narrow bucket, so it was handier to handle the bales. When we got all done unloadingContinue reading “More hay”

Not as much fun
Went over to Punkin Center and had Norman fix my hub that wouldn’t roll on the trailer that ruined the tire. Brakes in it froze up, so there is no brake assembly in it at the moment, but the hub rolls and that new tire he stuck on there works real well! 😉 Then wentContinue reading “Not as much fun”

When you see he red grass in your pasture, you know you are not over grazing (which is really a misnomer) as it is a decreaser,Continue reading “Grass”

He’s supposed to bring in some more tomorrow, weighing a little less. Hay sure looks good, but then he’s fussy about baling. I’ve heard he will makeContinue reading “Hay”

Odds and ends
Hooked up the mower today and knocked down some weeds around the corrals and out in the hog pasture. Tried to cut some american licorice plants, but the ground was too uneven. Gonna have to rig a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the cutting bar I guess. Then I worked on some corrals andContinue reading “Odds and ends”
