Prepping for the fall hay season! Old equipment ....will it hold up?
What happens here
The farmer drives a John Deere tractor, equipped with a Woods BB72 Bush Hog, around the newly cleared land and the field edges. He explains that he needs to cut these areas to remove rocks and sticks, which could damage haying equipment. He also points out areas where broom straw is growing, explaining that it needs to be cut before turning brown to be palatable for cattle, and that its presence indicates the soil needs lime to increase pH.
Goal: Clear obstacles and unwanted vegetation from field edges and newly cleared land.
