The Hay and a very frustrating day

                                                Entering the hay paddock the more sheltered side doesn't look so bad



But not a lot left on here

This is where some of the hay has ended up, and fortunately with careful driving this rake will pull most of it off.  Sure beats using the pitch fork!


Just about to start raking it off.

I won't be able to get into the corner though.


I don't know if you can see the hay in the long grass, but the creek did not fill up as much as it did one other time we had high wind on hay in this paddock
 Next year I think that all machinery maintenance before hay making should be banned.  It didn't make the slightest bit of difference, the baler continued to cause problems, and a warning light came on in the tractor which turned out to be for brake fluid levels - well so the Boss thought, but having checked and topped up, this light was on again before we finished.  Must be a faulty connection was his verdict - WE SHALL SEE!!  About 1/3 to 1/2 of the hay blew away, which is so annoying.
