My bad I think it is diesel, it is just unusually quiet. I don't know what kind of baler it is, other than it makes big squares, and its being pulled behind a giant New Holland.
Apparently carrots are going in after the hay is done, so I get to learn everything about them in the coming weeks/months.
Also, we have a 60's Massey Ferguson 135 that's gas, and it burns about a quart of oil or more for every tank haha

I'm trying to get in touch with Ray-Ban to see if I can just order a pair of frames with no lenses directly from them since I'm covered by insurance for new lenses every year. Also gonna try to see if I can get some cable temples, like the type that wrap around the ear so the glasses stay on your face, period.

I was hired to ferry drunk people back to their hotel (via large van) from the wedding reception of the girl who drove the car before me. I got paid good, and then got lots of tips. It totally has me thinking about getting into the taxi business, or maybe getting an old limo and starting my own service lol

You haying? Round or squares? What's your baler situation?
My bad I think it is diesel, it is just unusually quiet. I don't know what kind of baler it is, other than it makes big squares, and its being pulled behind a giant New Holland.
My bad again, its a giant ass Case IH 305 Magnum, I was using it earlier and probably again tomorrow discing, it is pretty sweet. In addition to the air conditioning and stereo, it has gps autopilot!!
So I just get to sit in there and babysit it, although I have to take over for the turns, so 10 seconds of driving and then 4 minutes of chillin', all day long.

You haying? Round or squares? What's your baler situation?
My bad I think it is diesel, it is just unusually quiet. I don't know what kind of baler it is, other than it makes big squares, and its being pulled behind a giant New Holland.
My bad again, its a giant ass Case IH 305 Magnum, I was using it earlier and probably again tomorrow discing, it is pretty sweet. In addition to the air conditioning and stereo, it has gps autopilot!!
So I just get to sit in there and babysit it, although I have to take over for the turns, so 10 seconds of driving and then 4 minutes of chillin', all day long.
