Cut some more grass this morn, i`m amazed how little effort it takes.
This grass is pretty poor, some is real fine stem and tough and doesn`t cut very well then other is heavy with thick stems and it cuts good.
Having fun with it.

Well done guys !!!

Thanks guys, i feel bad i couldn`t do more but this darn hip is bothering me pretty bad but i did run the scythe.
I pack the hay with a stick with a bigger end on it first as the baler plunger won`t reach very far, it really helps make the bales tighter.
We have more hay down and plan on cutting more but storms coming today so i think i`ll call the doctor instead.  :)
