Baling Hay - early 2021 (Long Play)

Some long-form GoPro footage of baling two small fields of first cut hay on June 7th, 2021 in Conway, MA. These were the last two small fields of a larger batch, and figured it was a good chance to take the GoPro for a spin. Usually we bale in third gear, but due to windrow thickness and the up/down slope on the second field, second gear ruled the day. But the yield still kept the bales flying!

Our baler is a Massey Ferguson 124, but retrofitted with a hydraulic-drive New Holland model 70 thrower. Tractor is a Massey Ferguson 275.

We do about 45 acres of mixed-grass hay, all in small square bales :)
