Can I Make Hay With Small-Scale Equipment? 1st Cut 2026!

Howdy Folks! Welcome to 8th Day Chronicles here at Cross Timbers Farm! THANK YOU for stopping by our channel today! Join us today on the farm as we kick off actual harvest of 1st cutting hay for 2026! Today we use our favorite haying equipment.....PERFECT for small scale hay operations, homesteaders, small family farms, and those who already own a compact tractor! If youre interested in this small-scale hay equipment, follow along with us as we make dry hay on our small family farm this summer. Also check out our "Small Scale Hay Equipment" playlist on our Home Page here on YouTube. Today to start making premium quality we will use our Kubota L3200 4wd tractor (32hp) and our Kowalski / Farm Maxx FDM135 Drum Mower to cut our small half-acre "test plot" of hay adjacent to our barn. Join us in future episodes as we tedder, rake and bale our hay using small-scale haying equipment that works amazingly well! Many thanks to Kyle and Steve at Carver Equipment in NC for their continued support of all small family farmers! ‪@CarverEquipment‬ Disclaimer!
