Hay season for us is officially done. Here’s a few parting shots of “cutting grass”.

The baler performed perfectly, never missed a knot! Which is saying something for a machine that basically came out of a fence row and was resurrected from the dead!

What’s a fella to do when he has over 160 bales on the ground and doesn’t have a bale accumulator or the energy or gumption to walk up and down the field to pick them up? Why hop on a Case GT of course! I kept having the feeling the 446 wanted in on haying so we went out to the field.

I was nice to putt around the field and gather them up. The Case worked flawlessly and it made it much easier to just pull up to a pile and load them up! But now there is a problem I got on it today and it will only idle I’ll post that in my 446 thread.

Son was a big help getting loaded up!

My :wife: even came out and helped scoop up the stragglers.

It was a long day but now the tarps are on and we’re ready for our buyer to come and load out!

Thanks for coming out with this haying season! :thumbsup:

Nice picture's Jeff. Garden tractors sure are handy with a blade on the front to push stuff around.

Yes I was really happy with 446! It’s the perfect size for our set up. And it made the work much easier. Sure saved us a lot of walking! Luckily the bales slid fine on the grass, no broken strings.
