This is for you, Baz. One of the new front tires on a wheel which got a splash of paint. Just off the hay field from shaking out the hay cut yesterday afternoon. The hay should be ready tomorrow in the late afternoon.

I think I have mentioned before the tractor is a New Holland TC 30 . I can run the mowing machine, tedder and baler with it. Unlike Unclebilly, who has a real farm and is doing round bales, we are just putting in about 600 small square bales (~40 lbs each) for the wife's horses. When we are baling, she operates the tractor which powers and pulls the baler. We hook a wagon behind the baler and I build the load as we go. When we get to the barn, she unloads the hay onto a hay elevator (basically a chain conveyer) which gets it into the hay mow where I stow it for winter feed.
Using this system we usually baled and stowed about 100 bales an hour. Since she had hip surgery, she hires a local kid to unload the wagon.
