  • We are paying for our mistakes. A combination of variables led to some bad hay for us. Follow along as we sort it and do our best to fix the problem!

    The problem with horse hay isn't the horses. It's the horse people who make it difficult. Good luck with your biz! If farming was easy, every one would do it.👍

    So much money tied up in equipment... The scale of things nowadays is crazy. I grow enough hay to feed my horses and a few bales to sell, peanuts really, all my hay equipment put together wouldn't add up to ten thousand dollars canadian. Deering horse mower, 477 haybine, horse dump rake, JD side delivery rake, MF 12 square baler, Hesston 540 round baler, home made ground drive small bale loader and 3 flat racks, buckrake for the loader, and an elevator. All old and built or rebuilt and fixed by me.

    Picky horse owners, bet they'll be fighting over that "bad" hay during the next drought...
    Last fall I bought some "stuck together, dusty" grass hay for our dairy cow, she loves it.
    Sample came back 101 RFV and everything else tested over median for mixed grass.

    Can you share with us what products you are using for weighing and stroke counting on the 1840's? We are looking to do the same thing in our operation and would appreciate any thoughts on how you cam to choose what you did. Thanks.

    I was wondering why you don’t use liquid preservatives? And does the silo king preservatives fall through the hay to the bottom of your stuffer chamber

  • @jackekberg5689
    @jackekberg5689 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like some high quality stuff I’m going to guess $9.56 per bale. The GIFS you slide in there are absolutely hilarious too! I’ll send you my address, I’ll keep a lookout for the hat 😎

  • @TomBoillat
    @TomBoillat ปีที่แล้ว

    what is the product you are putting on ? dose it keep the hay from heating or is it more of a preservative?

  • @matthewroth2257

    Liquid preserve with nozzles is the best. We have 3 nozzles spraying right into the pickup head

    Man, this makes me feel like I made a mistake. I just received my Gandy 45 Forage box. Have to make a mounting bracket for it. Hopefully it will work for me. I’d guess $15 for the good and $5 for the discolored.

    I am going with 11 and 8. Of course I don't know what state auraria you are in but in my area here in Indiana I can get the best alfalfa and orchard grass hay around $8.50 a bale. The alfalfa mixed with grass goes for around 7 and it is also very good quality. We are not feeding horses we are feeding spoiled goats. I find it cheaper to buy the best hay because they do not pick through it and waste 80% of the bail like they do a mixed Bale.

I've always tried to stay clear of horsey hmm hmmm hmm, ppl. I keep the hesston 4900 on the 8400 and pack em up. Thanks for your time mate. More please. A month bro!
