I "sort of" finished my 1st cutting between showers. We had about 20 of 25 acres done when the pin that holds the timing arm on the needles worked loose. The ram stop failed and the ram did a number on the needles, smashing them into the knotters. Just got that Oliver 620 sending out good tight 65 lb bales on a consistant basis!!!

Got another hay guy to finish....when the current rain stops. The good news is that we are making 50 bales/acre. 1st cutting this year made three times what we made all of last year with the drought!

                                          good luck, Larry Coltrin
