Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Rural Living Hay Storage.

This picture came out goofy, it is a Haybuster 2655. The net wrap builds up over time.

This is a hot cutting tool Jake bought a while back.

The hay in the plastic is baleage. We make it when we don't think we'll get enough moisture out to make dry hay.

Father in law in New Zealand only does Baleage.

Nice ghillie suit Richard!

We just have an old pole barn to store the hay in, squares on the side rounds in the middle. That barn really needs some work though it’s starting to get a pretty good lean.

Great song - I've got the album.

Richard, how often do you have to clean the wrap off of the 'rotor'?

We've been removing the wrap before chopping hay bales but we have to leave twine on the old straw that were are chopping.

I've found a good utility knife works well. Takes 3-4 blades and about 10-15 minutes. Only have had to clean it 3 times so far this feeding season. Removing the wrap really cuts down on build up.

Nice....two door mounted stripper plates.

I need that for my processor.


I like to use an electric hot knife to cut mine off.

Jake does the work around here. He has some phobia bout the 'fire, he thinks it's a waste of my time.

Grandson Gilbert, on the other hand enjoys posting.

Those of us at the lower and upper ends of the age continuum are able to make a glorious waste of time due to the work done by those that are between us on the scale. This is as it should be.
