Well I finally got home and have the hay in.
Whilst I was away my wife learned how to hitch up the mower and mowed the field. Learned how to use the Acrobat and turned the hay a couple if times. Went to the auction mart and bought a bigger tractor, learned how to work the baler and started baling, learned how to change shear bolts but unfortunately came to a halt trying to unjam the baler - I just can't get the staff!!!
It rained a few times but we have just had a weather window just long enough to get it baled and in, 200 small bales. Lots of hard work (which I mostly dodged!) but very satisfying looking at it in the shed.
