If anyone knows my Grandad, he defiantly uses the full life of his equipment, as long as it gets its job done. We may have to check him for a fever when he says he wants to buy something.

For example, if a monitor went out while planting, my grandad wouldn't mind just shutting it off and finishing the field because that is what he did before. Our newest generation would be trying to fix monitor before they began planting again. So this years investment for the farm was a baler. Just a few things to look for when buying a baler:
In the past, Lively H, has just cut hay, which is cut, raked, sun does most of the work in drying it out, and then bailed. During these days you just cross your fingers and hope it doesn't rain.
