Was using the lawn mower to cut the pasture just way too many weeds. My little tractor is so good it surprises me some of those weeds were 4 feet high.

Are you still fighting to get 1st cut in? Has been rough to find the right weather window. Got ours done a few weeks ago. Always a huge stress here. Waiting on the second. Best of luck! Stay safe in the humidity they are calling for.

Hope it goes up nice for you. Nothing like the smell of the barn when you just get the new hay in.

What kind of mix are you growing? I have got from the neighbor the last few years, about 50-50 timothy and alfalfa first cut. Second and third cut of course more alfalfa. You doing big round bales? Most practical with 200 acres I am guessing.
