- Cat D3, Deere 110 TLB, Kubota BX23 and L3800 and RTV900 with restored 1948 Deere M, 1949 Farmall Cub, 1953 Ford Jubliee and 1957 Ford 740 Row Crop, Craftsman Mower, Deere 350C Dozer 50 assorted vehicles from 1905 to 2006
My grandparents had 30 milk cows plus 25 pigs and 100 laying hens.
Summers as a kid I loved the hay part because I ran the tractor.
All the hay was cut with sickle mower and turned and placed into rows with a 15 hp single cylinder diesel tractor…
Nothing bailed… all loose in the hay barn and dropped through the floor to the cows below.
The tractor was a huge expense circa 1948 and still on the job on the 80’s 30+ years later.
If you have covered storage and not selling why the need to bail?
