Custom operators

[JCCWIS]

I think I am starting to hate custom operators !!!!!!  Kind of a rant I guess .  Had custom Round baler operator lined up to finish up last of 1st cut hay or sage brush yesterday......first helped the young man remove three or four ft. of net wrap from shaft where it didn't belong...installed new roll of net wrap. Then he rolled up remains of small field and after that told me he had other work to do and could not do other small field that was ready to go !!

Pouring rain  right now and looks to be off and on rain most of morning.

Oh well....Thats the way the cookie crumbles !!!!!!

Ya  I hate it too when I have to drive from small field to small field to bale a few bales  when there is a big field 10 miles away  that I can make alot of bales in a short time... but  first come first served.. by the way  I got it all done by midnight  just before we ended up with 4 inches of rain   I would have thought he could have finished yours  unless the field was rough and he could not have made good time.

Today I spent yesterdays earnings on parts I could carry in 1 hand. Had to replace the plunger bearings on the small Square baler.  200,000 bales   good for another 200,000

But.....but.....Ken I still need this guy !!!!! This guy is close neighbor and does custom work for only a couple of us. Just frustrating to see the hay ready to roll get wet.

I started the drying out process again today....ran spinner tedder threw the windrows. Have to get er done before Sat. when next rain forcast. Think I'm going to send this crap to Mo.   Local BTO has alot of cattle down there !!!

Can't complain about my custom baler.  He's been "Johnny on the Spot" for me the past few years with nothing but good results.  I've had some cover crops I just pay him for his service and we've also got about 50 acres of prairie hay that we've been putting up on shares for the past 3 years.
