Choosing a Cow Breed- Dexter vs. Jersey Conclusion

    Please, not just learning to plow. all of it. I am from the desert and just bought raw land. Tree stumps and all. What do i need to do to make crops? I need food, and want to sell food. I have tractor and raw land. What do i do, to reep the rewards? Subsioler, Plow, Disk, Plant Harvest?? too many missing. I have tractor, and just getting brushmowed, whats next? Oh and your hydraulic piston is leaking in your top end. which is why you had to swap to position control to raise to top position.

    We used a Kosch belly mount sickle mower on our Farmall M with a New Idea conditioner pulled behind. Except for an occasional broken rivet on the sickle bar it went really well. And with that belly mount the corners were a quick spin of the steering wheel aided by a push on the right rear brake and you did a 90 degree turn with no wasted time, but we would be mowing 40 to 60 acres of alfalfa clover mix at a time.

    I grew up putting up loose hay. We put up around 500 ton every summer. None of our hay was stored inside.. It was stacked in stacks approx. 7 ton to the stack. With a proper top built on the stack there is next to no spoilage. With minimal equipment it is much less labor intensive than square bales and much easier to store without hay barns.

    Dexter can be used for milk and beef, one of the best breeds out there IF you get a good line. Just like any animal there are pro's and con's, one bad cow can form an opinion about the breed that isn't correct. Not every Jersey is a good milk cow, same with Guernsey's each individual cow is different.

    How do I see the bale case over loose hay: Pros: 1. Compacted hay(takes less space) and is more convenient to maneuver when feeding, 2. Faster and less work intensive time to barn(your loose hay system may work better, else loading and unloading loose hay is usually done by hand), 3. Countable units of hay(better for sale). Cons, in this order: 1. High cost of equipment(including maintenance) 2. Hay needs to be better dried(risk of mold, even fire), 3. Less desirable to cattle(always prefers loose hay).

    Don't know if it applies to the 8N, but the Ferguson TEA 20 requires the PTO to be engaged so that the draft control function works and eliminates the wheel spin that you are getting. There's an old 1950's Ferguson video clip on YT that explains draft control. Maybe worth trying with your PTO system engaged?

  • @WordSmithAtPlay
    @WordSmithAtPlay 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've had to cut open and spread out so many bales in the hayloft over the years because the weather demanded we bale before the hay was dry enough. And that can save the quality of the hay so it doesn't mold or heat. But it is never perfect. The loose hay that we have put up always breaths well. It makes some very sweet hay. The cows love it. But as you say it is not time efficient.
