The neighbour is getting ready for hay making. It takes a lot of equipment. Three tractors, because switching attachments is tedious and time consuming.
One with front and rear PTO mowers, offset from each other, mowing a wide lane.
One with a brand new looking Claas multi rotary rake for turning the mowed grass. That one promptly broke down and a Claas service van came out to fix it.
And the third tractor with a combination baler and wrapper. This machine rakes up the hay, rolls it very firmly into a big round bale and then wraps it in plastic so it can ferment inside.
The bales are too heavy to move by hand, so he will also have a telehandler or other device for grabbing and loading them.
Hay is big business!
