I have a mild obsession with making off farm money with the hay tractors. Only the ones with loaders do this well. The ones without are limited to field mowing and thats about it.
Once you start hay farming, you must accompany that with off farm income (unless you have a daily job) or you’ll be in the hole up till you get into several hundred acres of hay.
Until I got over 500+ tons of hay production, money was pretty scarce. Now that I’m around 1,000 tons, there’s a little bit of relief.
