5525 Cutting Hay Pics

[ddivinia]

I know how we all like pics. Almost got 100 acres of hay laid down this weekend between other projects. 5525 knocking it out. I have almost 800 hours on it - I sure like that tractor.

Great pics! :thumbsup:

I thought that third one had captured a daytime meteor plummeting to earth....then I realized it probably was just a bug splatter on the windshield. :laughing:

That's some good lookin' hay! What type of grass is it? The heads almost look like Oats in the sunlight.

Your 5525 is a fine lookin' machine, too.. I especially like that loader!!

Thanks for sharin', D.

I'm sure my view of this as a "city boy" is highly romanticized, but this looks like heaven to me. Dealing with the equipment, especially bailers, is probably a pain in the neck, but it still looks like a fun life.

Beautiful place and tractor.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the pictures.:thumbsup:

Brings back memories and the scent of fresh mown hay when sitting on a horse drawn dump rake.

Baler is not bad - except when it jams with rocks. I am hoping my grass is thick enough this year that I don't have to hammer rocks out of the pickup auger too many times.

Also - they are oats. Wild oats - cows love them and the protein content is always great.

What is funny is we are practically in the middle of the city. Houses all around us except by the bigger hay pasture - still crop land.

It is amazing what you can do with these smaller tractors. Many people told me I was crazy to do what all that i do with a 5000 series tractor.
