My wife is making me field load 400 bales tomorrow in the 95 degree heat. I wished i could do it late October-that would be a great early season back workout!

She is! You Canada fellas know the saying "if momma ain't happy, then nobody's happy". You guys have wifes up there right?
You got any grass hay, second cutting? That stuff is unreasonably priced around here. $150 - $220 a ton. And, I've been informed I'm loading 5 tons in two weekends, and 5 tons in another 2 weeks. Lucky we only have 3 grass burners.
You'z need some technology.

Did 9 ton last week in the heat of the day, still 3 ton to get this week. Today we cut approx 180 trees for corral poles for me and one of my buds. HOLY HE!! that sucks, and we still have 50-75 to go.
i did 85 bales today nothing bad just threw them onto the elevator and the other guys stacked them

we use a harrow bed and hand stacking, we(6guys 2 drivers 2 stackers and 2 buckers) have 324 bales tied down and ready to go outta the field before the harrow bed can get one load of 115.
it works pretty good we can get usually 1400 to 1600 bales a day
we just got done stacking 3400 round bales last week used 2 trucks hauling 20 at a time and one tractor haulin 10 at a time..... took forever! baled for a week and then stacked for another week. in 2 more weeks we will be stacking another 2800 round bales.....im so sick of hay...i hanvt had a day off for the last month and been workin 13 hour days on average.. starting to feel like a nascar driver drinving in circles all day lol..oh well...lots of $$$$ for sledding this winter!

That is like 3720 tons of hay, you must have one giant operation!!!
watched somebody pick up the hay in our fields today while i was drinking a cold one working on the new nytro in the garage
Ummm Spoiled...
its ok. We got snow.it would almost be worth driving there to pick it up,, since they are getting $$$$$$$$$ 414.00 a ton at the feed store for alfafa, and $385 at the local hay dealer in Western Washington
