    My hubby and I were just talking about the fields on our road as they were cutting hay this past weekend, he said last cut of the year. I said maybe they’d get another with all of the rain we’ve had this summer in this part of Georgia. Guess we will see, but I love watching those fields after they cut. I’d love to walk it but it ain’t mine to walk. I just have to arch the deer and turkey from the road. I’m that weirdo who will pull over to watch wildlife just because it makes me happy and I kinda feel like it’s a gift from God because He knows how His creation revives my heart when it is heavy.

    the little tractor tedding doesn't tear up the leaves as much. The most important thing in baling is moisture content. watching newbies learn the fun just brings joy to my heart, tear'em up.

    Grease cheaper than metal. Yes you can over grease them blow out the seals out that keep grease in to keep part cool. Got rake just like that.
    All you need keep the bearing's cool, Heat is Friction. But only like 3 pumps each plug @ the most every 3 to 6 hours all high speed moving parts. I gone to all auto greasers everything. 3 years paid for its self. downtime & breakdowns/ parts . But too Wintertime heated dust free garage go through everything top to bottom. . Sorry diesel mechanic/welder trained too. Sure not going be a lifetime fix no breakdowns over this. You still going have few breakdowns.
