Amazing. I just bought a 10 acre property and was dumbfounded by the cost of tractors and ran into your scything videos. I'll definitely be going this route to maintain my pastures. Please keep making videos! Thanks from Texas!
I watched your videos when first uploaded. But the person who is gonna let me make hey on their land ended up moving away. Now somebody else is considering this and i'm wondering if you've made any updates to your method...thanks a TON 😊
Nope. I keep a hayfork handy for when the stack gets too high for me to reach the top. I build the lower portion of the stack in intermeshing horizontal layers, as carefully as I can, by hand,, so that the four sides of the stack are as vertical as I can make them. The more hay I add on top, the more compressed the bottom becomes. If the base is constructed unevenly the whole stack will end up with a deformed shape. Once the haystack gets too high for me to reach, I tossed the hay onto with a hayfork.
If you have to stack it before its fully cured because weather is threatening you can unstack it and dry when weather is good again. Cant do that with baled hale. loose hay is less likely to mold because it gets more airflow

LetTheWritersWrite not all tractors are expensive. Vintage tractors can be cheap and are built well. They also very good on fuel
I have ppl no pop l
I thought this would be an educational video about hand made hay, but it is an artfully camouflaged cat video! Excellent!!!

Your cat is hilarious

Thank You!
Pretty ASMR, I must say.
Any idea how many pounds of hay are in that stack when finished?
Thanks for your video
lost the hay fork?

Thank you for this video. Does the hay ever get mold? What happens when it rains? This is so interesting.
L if you do not properly dry your hay in the field, it will mold in storage and spontaneously combust and the fire is almost impossible to put out.

What type of hay/grass is this?
Mostly quack grass and brome. Some fescues and bluegrass.
