Hey there Bill. If we get one of those places, do you think we can get moved on it in time to come down to your place, and help you put loose hay up in your new barn?? I'd kinda like to work in the mow stacking it back from the center hay fork track. Do you think it could be very warm during hay making?? Are you going to use the H on the hay rope?? Your girlfriend could drive it. Pulling the wagon and hayloader is not a bad job. I got $2 a-day for doing that when I was 12.

Hey Unc, Thats the idea lol. BUT, I guess u missed where I said I had a 1960 140-W Case hay bailer. And Ive got a bale loader, one of those that has say a 10ft wheel set at a 45% angle. It pics up the bail at 1/2 the circle, and delivers it off on a holding rack at the upper half. Yes, as I said I got a NI loose hay loader also. Wouldnt mind useing it, but dont think id like forking loose hay in the winter. LOL. Useing the H for the rope?? Surely, the Cub could do that. Use the H on the wagon. That way I dont have to repeatedly crank the Case.

Girlfriend? GIRLFRIEND?? have I got a GIRLFRIEND? If so, both she and I dont know it LOL. Please pm me and point her out. A week before you do the same for her LOL. And yes, I guarantee that itall be hot. But ive put up hay by moonlight a few times here. Wasnt bad at all.

U got 2 a day. I got rooked. Started driveing a team and rack wagon for a quarter an hour. Started stacking when I was 8 and got a buck. Round the time I turned 13 I got $1.25, and it stayed that way till I got married at 19 and quit haying for others

Bill, You say you don't have a lady tractor driver out there on your ranch?? You need to post that picture of you and your H Farmall here on Melissa's column. Any lady that don't think you are cute would still love your rusty tractor. Women like to put everything in order. They would get you right on a new paint job on your H. That ought to keep you busy until haymaking time. When the Farmall is all pretty, they would be in love with it, and hang around until time to shuck corn.
Just post that picture. You are on your own after that.

nah DKM Iffn I painted it up, then alla the ladies would think my tractor was sexey, and the heck bout me.
I dont know how many times ive been working my big garden, and people just drive by, never look
Besides, that agritourism comes with a price, its called insurance. And a persons a idiot if they dont have it. AND IT COMES HIGH
AND, ive gotr some unique junkque, that is worth some money, alot if it was all put together, and I imagine it would soon be walking off the place if I had a crowd of people h8ere.
