[AT] Haying pictures

[Dean Vinson]

Great photos, and I'll second John Halls "never seen" comment.   Definitely
not the norm in the Midwest...I was probably 30 years old (ahem, 25 years
ago) before I even knew crawlers were used in those kinds of roles instead
of just as bulldozers.

Well thats something I have never seen or heard of--a crawler in a hay
field! I bet making a left turn with the sickle mower is no fun!

hay cut and raked. I broke a section on the mower but got it fixed in timely
fashion. Right after this picture was taken I blew a tire on the rake. They
are 600x16 but I was able to find a modern tire I could make work. I cut for
2 days and raked 1 day. I will let it cure in the windrow for 2 weeks and go
back down and bale hopefully. That will be another challenge I will get into
later.
