- Kubota L4600
Hi all
I have a Kubota L4600. We have around 8 acres that the previous owner used to hay himself and, for the last couple of years, our neighbours have helped us to get hay off it. One year we got 26 round bales and last year, we got around 500 squares.
We much prefer rounds to squares but the neighbour that did rounds has moved away.
I am thinking of purchasing a mower and a baler myself, so that we have complete control over when the hay is taken off.
It is possible to obtain a drum or disc mower that leaves the hay in a state where it doesn't need any further conditioning until it is baled, or am I hoping for too much?
On a somewhat related question, we have lots of gophers and the odd badger that leave horrible mounds and holes. What would be the best implement to use to level these out without completely destroying the grass? Would something like a land leveler work?
Thanks in advance.
