We all know that baling is hard work, but there is something soothing about a photo like this. There is something about the consistancy of it, about knowing the value of hard work and the satisfaction from a job well done. (Not to mention that is a fine looking 200!) Warm sun on your shoulders and the relief when a cool breeze finally comes by for an instant. How good that cool water from a jug tastes, and how resting under a shade tree is so satisfying. The comraderie of working with others for a common goal-even if you have to pay the others when the job is finished.
I think maybe that is enough nostalgia for now.........

That 348 is the best baler ever made. Bar none. I can't fault you for that. But if you don't own a NH bale wagon, to pickup those bales, you should be institutionalize...........

Jealous of you already cutting hay. We won't be cutting and baling until early July most likely.

I was going to ask how you handle the bales, pick them by hand or automatic bale wagon?

Yep by hand guess the bale wagon would be nice! And the 348 is a great baler if it is green!

We pull some green. Van Brunt/John Deere grain drill.
Really a Van Brunt with John Deere's name on it so I guess that is ok. I guess.
