You have a 4-bottom on a light olive, so I would only pull a 2-bottom up here in mass, of course. Nevertheless, in my opinion, it would need to be in excellent shape to 4-bottom under 100 horsepower. My grandfather frequently drives all of our tractors with the front tires in the air.

I found my draining cows couldn't differentiate between little square bunches and huge round parcels, so presently they just get large round. I actually have an in cut feed drying framework in my horse shelter, that we stacked the new bunches on. It blew air through the roughage, and aided cool the feed down and dry out any extreme or clammy rolls of feed. Been draining up to 80 cows now for quite some time, and we will change to hamburger. Dairy is a young fellow's down, and it seems as though you have your heart in it . The very best

Even though the M is a later model than the one we had on the farm I grew up on in the 1950s, it was wonderful to watch it run. It must be close to 70 years old, though. I spent many a summer hour raking beans for thrashing while the dew was still on them, tending row crops, and very early fall mornings before I went to school. I appreciate the excellent video job.

nice weather, lovely fields, and well-kept old machinery! I worked behind one of those kick balers for several summers, stacking the loads as we needed to move as many as we could, sometimes up to 10 miles distant. You were constantly concerned that your friend wouldn't take a blow to the side of the head!

Who is unloading those wagons as quickly as you can fill them with two balers intrigues me. I grew up in a family of ten on a dairy farm in Wisconsin in the 1960s, so we had plenty of help!

We did not have throw wagons or bale thrower baler. We had an old Case (pre-Case IH days) baler and open MF 265 tractor doing the baling. Mom would drive tractor. I would stack the wagons (usually we could do 8-10 wagons per day). I usually got 200 or so bales per wagon (5 per layer, 7 layers high, 6 rows = 210 14x18x40" bales). My day was the only other person over 6' that could unload. He would unload the wagons and my 3 sisters would be up in the hot barn stacking up there. I would "eat" so much alfalfa/red clover dust/chaff. It may have looked funny, but I would have a nice hat on, set of good leather gloves, shorts & good sneakers to not slip on the wagons.
