Inspecting and Discussing the Equipment

Me, too. So, we're here, guys. Let's take you around and we'll show you what we're buying. This is the John Deere Baylor right here. Um, the model 385 John Deere Baylor. Pretty nice little unit. Uh, I'm going to say it's probably 15 years old, something like that. And what we're looking for here is we're looking at our belts. We're making sure our belts are nice. uh where our belts connect together that they're in good shape. We're looking for general leaks and and just obvious stuff in disrepair. I'll walk you around here to the back. Basically, the way this balor works is this part right here in the back opens up and it drops the bail out of the back right here. Okay. So, this thing has lights and he's been working on the lights. Got to tow it, like I said, quite a few miles. So, he's uh putting new lights in right here. And these are our belts. Uh this thing has some other cool features on it. Um you have a uh measurement right here that tells you whether your left or your right side of your bail is getting bigger as you pick up hay. And we'll talk more in detail about this as I learn more and as we start bailing hay. I also have a little cutter right here that you wrap string around and you cut. And there's a moisture meter that sits in the cab of the tractor and that's in right here and it watches the moisture that you're picking up. So if you get a bail that's too wet, the danger is that it can catch on fire in the field or you can put it in your barn and lots of barns have gone up in flames from a hay balor bailing too wet a hay and it builds up heat and it spontaneously combust due to the uh composting. I guess basically the bacterial breakdown because of the moisture content being too high. So let's go over here to the other piece and this is a Scitrex hay rake. Okay, this big old hay rake piece right here. This is designed to rake the hay after you've cut it so that you can run over it with the bor, pick it up and roll it into rolls. So this thing basically pretty simple piece of equipment. We've got to tow both of these back. 76 miles to the Stony Ridge Farm. It's going to be interesting. Way over here in the distance. Let's see. Let's walk over here a little bit. So, you may be able to see way back in the distance back here uh is the chicken houses. That's where the chicken houses are. So, we're going to go ahead and get things hooked up and get Mrs. Stony Ridge. She's over here looking. They've got a couple horses that are really pretty. So,…
