i wonder if anyone can help me here. we have about 4 acres of pasture, split between 2 fields and in the summer we find that one of the fields gets away from us every year and we end up having to ask the local farmer to come and top it for us. It seems to me that this is a huge waste of potential feed for our livestock. of course i could ask the farmer to cut hay for us, but he isnt terribly dependable (i asked him 3 weeks ago to top the field and i still havent seen him),i know he is busy so i dont like to keep asking.
ideally i'd like to be in control myself and the ideal would be a way of taking hay or haylage ourselves. we only have a quad bike/atv, so whatever we did would have to be something that we could attach to that.
does anyone know if such a gadget exists, and if it does, what is it called? and more importantly, where can i get a cheap one?
many thanks
