Ft. Ripley MN | I noticed when switching to new holland that the hay needs to be dryer then you think… it will pack the bale a lot tighter so I wonder if it’s not really allowing to breath. I noticed the same thing around 16-17%. Get under 15 and the problem all but went away. You can watch the moisture sensor and it will pick up when the dew is coming on or if you get to some hay that was cut a day later. It’s a good tool in my opinion but still have to do the ol check it by hand. I think lately the summers in Minnesota are just staying humid during the “drying” days. Feels dry but it’s not. Stem moisture. A lot more tedders are showing up in the area. Giving more time between the rake and baler helps as well. The alfalfa seems to be a little more forgiving moisture wise over the grass/upland hay. I noticed in straw the Deere was a little forgiving in wetter straw then the new holland was | |
