Might take me a little longer to make hay than some for sure but I'd bet I make some of the lowest cost hay around.My line up for hay equipment. Cut hay with a 31 HP Yanmar I paid $2000 for 15 years ago and mow with $500 NH 456 mower uses less than 1/2 gallon hr fuel Rake with a NH 258 rake I bought like new for $1800 20 years ago pulled by a David Brown 780 cost $1200 10+years ago.uses about 1/2 gallon/hr fuel Bale with a NH 851 round baler paid $500 for it at auction 4 years ago pulled it last year with an Allis Chalmers 185 cost me $1000 2 years ago burns maybe 2 gal/hr Also have several back up mowing,raking and baling rigs ready to go in case of a break down. Generally bale 300-400 bales a year.So I'd say my costs run less than $10 bale easily. Also make a few squares every year with an Oliver 62-T baler that I'm still working on the last of the 4 balls of new twine it had in it when I bought the baler at an auction for $200 And the bonus is I pay nothing for the ground I cut hay on because the landowners I cut for get a huge real estate tax break if its in farm use.
