Make some shorter frames with wheels at one end - if it's just a short amount of rain forecast you can put them together side by side and throw a tarpaulin over them until it stops raining. You could also wheel them out to a sunny and windy part of the field to dry faster
Hi. I've seen this method of grass drying before in other countries, which is successful. Only you can do much better. I have watched several of your videos now and know you want to spend very little money and yet reape the maximum reward. Don't we all? Well, my friend, here are some tips for you with little outlay and maximum rewards. Some tried and tested. First, make the Hesjing smaller in length. Cut your one in half, giving you two devices. With a little added alteration and money spent, you could achieve 100% results instead of 80% or lower. Build them just long enough so that you are able to move them on your own laiden with wet grass from field to field if necessary. Thats right, movable Hesjings. You need direct sunlight as well as humidity for best drying results. Secondly, add a set of wheels to one end. In this instance, size really does matter. The wheels need to stand around 20cm tall. The bigger the better just as long as you can move the Hesjing around in the grass and over uneven ground. If you buy new wheels, then make sure they stand at least 20cm high or as close as possible. Beggars can't be choosers, as we say in the UK. Especially if they are free! If it were me making the Hesjing, i would go to a recycling centre. See if anyone has thrown away a babies pram, then you can use those wheels. You would just need to devise a way of exteding the axles. That is the easy part. Cut the axle in half then using U shape wire nails, staple the axle to a length of wood, then sttach said wood to the Hesjing and away you go. That's what we did as children to make a wooden go-cart. Watch videos on UA-cam how to make them. Whatever method you choose, having mobile Hesjings is the answer. A). You can place them easily out of the shadows and into direct sunlight. B). Being able to manoeuvre them will ensble you to cut all the grass, leaving nothing behind. C). If done correctly you could achieve 3 cuts a season as i do. With your present set up, you have to cut around the Hesjing, losing a lot of grass. I guess a minimum of two days' worth of hay if you make two cuts a season. During winter, that means two days of real food, not factory, for your sheep. That reminds me. Here comes s quick English lesson. We say sheep not sheeps. One sheep, five sheep, or one hundred sheep. It is just sheep not sheeps. My last tip concerns waste. You waste a lot of grass. Watching yu cut the grass you leave a lot not cut after raking. Try to cut in a straight line. Use the tip of your cuting blade as a guide to follow your previous line. I have some advice on your little tractor but thats for another time, another video. Great content, i will see you again soon. As a new subscriber to your channel i am still catching up.😁🍻🏴⚒️
This was a great video. I live in canada and we have only had one week of dry weather this year to cut hay and now a second in September thus week. We are very behind for hay. I'm so glad you made this video because I'm going to make one now. Thank you so much for your time. We to both work full time. Good luck with your farm x
It´s a little bit late ...but ... why don´t you build a "floor" of chicken wire put a layer of wet hay there, then a new floor more hay and so on. Then you will have a indoor "hejiing" wich might help drying your hay.
Jeg slår bare dette stykket👍 Det er på ca 1 mål. Jeg slår det to ganger per år. På sikt er planen å bruke forhøster og silo. Må da få istand de andre markene først. Jeg har ca 8 mål til med flat slottemark som jeg tenker å slå på sikt (når jeg har fått skikk på mosen og vannet).😊
amazing that you keep going on with so much family life around you, and the small time with day light hours, you must be congratulated

Thanks and good luck with your hay👍😊
Dziękujemy.
Thank you👍🤠
Hei, der på filmene dine, det som slår meg er at du skulle vært litt latere og funnet på arbeidssparebde løsninger. Hør med noen praktikere.

Interesting
cool :)
Did this evry year in the summer. My dad had a "aebi" two weel tractor same as you ar using.
Hvor mange mål slår du per år me denne ca?
Jeg slår bare dette stykket👍 Det er på ca 1 mål. Jeg slår det to ganger per år. På sikt er planen å bruke forhøster og silo. Må da få istand de andre markene først. Jeg har ca 8 mål til med flat slottemark som jeg tenker å slå på sikt (når jeg har fått skikk på mosen og vannet).😊
