If you have someone to do custom haying, I'd look there instead of buying your own equipment. For that small plot,you can tie up a lot of money in mowers,rakes balers etc. Of course the bigger you go, the less you can get around in small places.
Yep, that’s where I’ve arrived, too much $ to harvest 17 acres of hay. I’d rather have a new fishing boat. I’ve pretty much dismissed the making hay option. Looking for something to build a shooting berm, till the garden and food plots, drill fence post holes. Thinking used, I can fix most stuff. If it doesn’t run one weekend, not the end of the world, my lively-hood doesn’t depend upon it.
