- It’s one of those weird days where I get to do every process of making hay…all in the same day. It’s Labor Day weekend 2023, the weather is hot, sunny and breezy and it’s perfect hay making conditions for some nice third cut grass hay.

That is a nice hay field. Enjoyed the video.
Just Subscribed. We also use New Holland Hay Bailers. Just bought a 65 for $125 at a estate sale.
Thx 4 sharing Ur hay day!
Wow, that is some *beautiful* third cut. “Nuclear green-leaf”, I call it. What % moisture did that bale at? 90 degrees and wind will do it, holy cow.
Thanks for sharing! Looks like a satisfying day. I’m right with you on tedding and a more uniform-looking drydown. Even if I didn’t have to ted in New England (ha, if ever), I still would for your same reasoning.
Satisfying seeing that haybine run so smoothly too! You take good care of your equipment, and it shows 😊
Thanks, I try to turn the hay around in 30 hr so it stays green. These were pegging at around 10-12% on my on-board moisture meter. The biggest problem I have is making hay that is *too* dry and will sometimes be lower than 8%, which is as low as my sensors will go. So it’s nice to get 10-12%.
I had another 7 acres I could have baled to get a little more hay but just don’t feel like it.
That 488 does purr along and it’s a perfect machine. I normally will cut at 5 mph with it but if I slow down to 4 it will make a much cleaner, shorter cut. I just hate mowing slow. I need to put new knives on it as well. These ones have been on there probably 4 seasons at least. They’re overserrated so are shelf sharpening and don’t need changed out as much, but new knives would probably help with a cleaner cut. I’d like to have a discbine like yours. I don’t need conditioning since I’m just doing grass. First cut it would be nice.
Hay looks great - excellent video...👍
Nice looking hay. We just finished all our second cut and we should get a third cut off one of our fields. It’s been a good haying year for us. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad I took this third cut when I did. Two days after baling it started raining inches, stormed a lot and has been cold and cloudy since.
@@TheScientistHayFarmer it’s all about timing the weather.
What kind of hay? Straight orchard grass or a grass mix?
This is orchard and Kentucky bluegrass.
does that 4610 handle the new holland 488 well?
It handles it easily. The 488 only requires 25 PTO horsepower and the 4610 has plenty of lugging weight and power as well.
