Nick, a lot of good suggestions and ideas here. Been doing this for 40 plus years. have made every mistake that can be made and still make them. Wife makes all of the sales and she is tuff on people. Pay up front or no load. We get $7.00 per bale out of the barn and $5.00 behind the baler. Do not lack for customers. Some have been with us for most of the time. We do custom work also. $3.00 per bale on the ground. Everybody says that we are the highest priced for custom work but we are also the busiest of anybody. My part time turned into a full time job. Not getting rich but we are comfortable with what we do. Do it right and just don't get carried away buying new equipment. That is what makes most people not make any money. Have seen guys do that and then their equipment is either up for sale or has been repossed because they don't make enough money to cover the payments. Takes a good customer base as BillVa says. Make good hay and have no problems. Cash only even if they are the best of buds. This keeps them good friends. One complaint can lose you a lot of business. Same price for everybody. No exceptions. You can make it work. Lots of good help here so listen and ask questions. Most everybody here will help if you ask. Good luck in whatever you decide.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
