Bale hooks, start with one, then one in each hand, once you get the hang of it, its way faster and easier. We baled hay for years, stacking wagons until Dad finally broke down and bought a kicker. Great breakdown on profits as always and dangers of cutting too late in the year!

You should look into Johnson Su composting bioreactors. I am a farmhand in Colorado, and my boss started using this method to make compost to apply to fields as a compost tea (we have to irrigate everything so it's easy for us to add to the center pivots). This is our first full year of doing this and we just got our 5th cutting off the alfalfa. Normally we get only 3 maybe 4 cuttings and the yield per acre is at least 10% more for each cutting than previous years.

Sept 15 is my last day to cut alfalfa, especially on new seeding, to allow enough regrowth for winter. If it was an older stand 5-6 years old and was being tore up the next, i wait as long as possible, but before a frost. I've cut and baled hay just before Christmas once, but that was just grass. Alfalfa should keep under 18% moisture, you can always toss salt on the bales if they are a little wetter(old timer trick). If you want some info on hay or hay equipment, there are 2 guys who have a really good knowledge of hay equipment west of your farm a few miles. Ask the guy who round baled your hay who they are, and he'll tell ya.

It's been a while.... but my mom used to help out on a horse farm with show horses, western pleasure mostly. They fed alfalfa regularly, the bails were always much heavier than any other bails like Timothy or whatever else they had at the time. The best hay always seemed to me to be slightly moist, and really heavy. I think that aspect of it is completely normal. I'm not there touching and feeling and smelling it, but that cutting looks to be what we would have thought was very desirable hay at that time. I could swear they were paying $10 and even OVER that even back then... probably 15 years ago.... for good quality alfalfa. Maybe it's more competitive out your way, but I would make sure you aren't selling yourself short at $8 and $10 per bail. Unless you are selling it to people who are then reselling again maybe. I don't think alfalfa was easy to come by in our area (north Georgia) at that time, only a hand full of people growing it. And some of it could have been coming from quite a distance, so we might have been paying for it being transported as well. I don't really know, I was pretty young. In my teens still at the time. I always thought the alfalfa smelled amazing, being in that entire field of it has to smell great haha the horses definitely loved it. It would give them lots of energy, so it was fed sparingly. Sometimes only like half a flake at a time along with other hay and pellets or oats or whatever they gave that particular horse. And I was told it helped enhance their coats. And these were show horses, so that was a big priority. Anyway, yeah, good lookin hay from what I can tell without touching and feeling it.

That poor girl! You need to get yourselves a new holland stackliner. I bet you could find an older 1032 for pretty cheap that would be great for what you’re doing. I’ve seen them for about $3000 so not a bank buster. The open station 4020 would be a great match for something like that.

@@spencerhilbert Until a month ago, I had three - 336 balers. We make 7-10,000 small squares a year. One was totaled by an inattentive driver that rearended me coming home, so now I have two..... I have lots of experience, so feel free to reach out if you have questions. I would suggest you bite the bullet and get new brakes from JD. Not cheap, but they are good insurance. The older machines will groove them and eventually they fail.
