- Howdy folks! Thanks for stopping in at our channel today! Our reclaimed hay field hay was cut, tedded and drying nicely....the a couple showers of rain came. Thank goodness for the Rhino PT207 Tedder! This implement literally saved this hay! Come along with us as we re-ted this hay and later bale it up into some 2x2 small round bales using our mini round hay baler. Thanks for watching and may God bless you and your family!

I have found that one rain on isn’t bad. It’s the rain, drying, rain, drying that ruins it. Get it dried and baled, should be fine. We have also struggled with the weather this year. I have about 3 acres of first cut left to do. Thankfully, I got a guy that needs a couple hundred bales of mulch hay that’s going to buy it. Hopefully second cut goes better. God bless brother and good luck.
Thanks! Hope the rest of you season goes great!
I’m really happy for you that you didn’t lose that test field. A lot of hard work goes into it.
Thanks a bundle! Sweated like a pig in July sun raking all that hay back up the hill by hand.
❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ my first video I’ve watched ❤it was very informative ❤you have a lot of knowledge ❤I’m going to watch all the rest of videos ❤I will be asking some questions ❤
Thanks much! Appreciate the nice words!
@@8thdaychroniclesI’m still watching ❤I just finished watching another video ❤old school is the best thing
@@briangrammer898 thanks a lot!
It has been a hard season, for sure. It's good that you have the knowledge, skills, and ability to fix it. I do like your videos, I always learn something. Sometimes, that is how to be patient.
We done see many tedders in Arkansas, but I think Sally and I are going to own one before next year.
Thanks for the honest video, as always.
Thanks Tom. Even if your weather is conductive for good dry down and a Tedder not needed often, all is takes is a change in the forecast and rain and a tedder can really help salvage a hay crop.
Lots of guys out there with ALOT better farm skills and knowledge than me, but like you said, learn something every time. Our 1st cut struggles has been a great classroom at the Hard Knocks School.
Will you guys get a second cut later this year? Tell Mrs Sally we say hello!
@8thdaychronicles it is summer here for sure, high 90's to 100 for the next month. If we get 3 rains in July we will get another cut. We had a rain June 23 and the grass has grown 2 inches, so it's looking good.
I am with ya on the tedder, better to have it and not need it...
Sally said Hi Darrin and Susan!
If you folks don't have a tractor yet, I highly recommend getting a hydrostatic drive with a live PTO.
@@PostIdaho I also recommend a live pto if your running hay equipment. Gear drive all the way for me. More power where the rubber meets the ground. I'd choose a gear drive if have a choice, but have no problem with a hydro if the tractor is what I'm looking for otherwise. Different strokes for different folks. No problem either way, its just a personal choice.
@@8thdaychronicles I'm running a Kubota L-4600 with a 8spd manual transmission, live PTO. There's not enough gear selection, 2nd low range too slow, 3rd low range too fast. Maybe a hydro with a cruise control, or a 12 spd transmission would be a better choice if one's shopping tractors. This is especially true for our Farm Maxx 165 drum mower.
Well I learned what a "tedders" are.
Glad you learned something, lol!
It looks like you're back using the jute twine? I looked around online for some and it appears that its hard to find. Do you have a good supplier? And what size do you think it is equivalent to, like a 130 or a 90? I went through two rolls of that 190 on the medium wrap setting pretty darn fast last weekend.
190# is borderline too thick. just opinion. Thats all I could find for awhile. It works, just jumps off the worm gear pulley groove once every so often. Jute twine I can find is just too thin. No idea of knot strength, but its weak. No good supplier, have to order it online, and then its still hard to find occasionally. Its too weak anyhow....not buying any more of it. Just using up what I have left over, no need to waste it. I've found a new (new to me) sisal twine that I think is gonna work great, but havent tested it out yet, waiting on 2nd cutting..
Really enjoy your videos! Curious of size of field, how many bales and how long to bale? Considering that baler on for my small farm
Thanks for the nice words! Appreciated! Size of field, bales per hour, etc is relevant to individual situations. We bale about 7 acres, give or take a bit. I enjoy making hay and don’t get in a rush. Most manufacturers of small round balers say they can bale up to 80-90 bales per hour, that is very relevant to each situation (slope of terrain, size of field, obstacles, etc). They are not a fast baling machine. If you have lots of acres and under time restraints, I wouldn’t recommend a mini round baler. But if you’re haying small paddocks, smaller acreage and not in a major hurry, and have a compact tractor already, these balers are great! Hope this helps!
Thanks that is very helpful. Sounds like your baler has also been reliable.
