Typically, it rains in May and June. We then get rain in July around the time of the Calgary Stampede each year, which is the perfect time to be taking the hay off. If I had my own equipment, it would be relatively easy to find a weather window. However, when you are relying upon others, they choose to take theirs off at the perfect time, and the rest of then left to get whatever they are given, which is perfectly understandable.
While I am next to useless when it comes to fixing things, I have a friend who can fix anything, he lives close by, so maintenance shouldn't be too much of an issue.
But it probably will be an issue, because you cant wait for things to be fixed. As Haydude mentioned you have very narrow weather windows in many cases to get things done. This stuff isnt going to break before you need it. It is going to break while you are using it. You think it would be easy to find a window....but it just never seems to work out that way. At least not for us in the past.
If you dont want to buy a new tractor you will be into small squares.
