actually,dont even have bale it.if you dont mind the extra work just cut it with the mower you have,(tip though,its made to run the walking speed of a horse,run it very slow). then just fork it into truck or better yet unto trailer and feed it from there.we fed loose hay most of my life.If you prefer to stack it,keep sides of stack as straight as possible and it will shed rain much better.Dont even need a tractor for this,pull that mower with your pickup or even your riding mower if you can figure a way to hitch it high enough.Build a set of dolly wheels for the front if needed.Depending on the weather where you are,all the hay you need is for when horses cant get out to graze,no difference in dry hay you feed and dry hay in a pasture.Spend your money on something else,like cross fencing to divide area into 4 or more different pastures.Will keep your grazing down to where grass wont suffer if you can keep rotating pastures every couple of weeks to let grass grow back!watch that mower if youve never been around one,never ever for ANY reason put you hand or fingers in guards at any time.it can be setting still and cut your fingers off so fast you dont have time to blink.heres the deal,every piece of equipment or tractor you buy cost you,not only for the initial purchase prices but each and every day you own it,for storage,up keep,etc etc.some of these have a HUGE upkeep cost,that mower for instance,unless its in really good condition,better than 99% of them you see it will take a lot of work and money to get it rebuilt.I am not in any way trying to discourage you I hope you understand, Many of us here started just where you are,just trying to advise.buy the best you can afford,dont go in debt,money spent on old equipment will never be paid back unless you can work your money out of it,and theres one thing that is the most expensive piece of equipment you will ever own,thats quite simply yourself and your family,you pay to keep them up more than anything else on the farm ,use them all you are able!and by the way,youve got horses ,youve got a horse drawn mower,nothing wrong with making those horses work,wont hurt and will actually help keep them in condition!one that will balk at pulling a mower,or to being hitched,will also leave you in the dust sooner or later on a trail ride if they run up on something unexpected.Just start them slow, let them wear a harness a few days just grazing and then move on to something harder.why not let them earn their upkeep,doubtfull very few folks today would ride their money back out of one.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia.
