I sometimes wish I had a small baler just for that reason. I have seen home made small square balers at tractor shows and guys sell the bales. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| You could sell them as those little ornamental bales that people pay big money for to decorate tables and such at festivities. Probably comes out to four or five thousand bucks a ton. LOL. Darrel |

Why not just combine your lawn? Get a good chopper on the back or straw spreader and it won't look like a mowed hay field! Lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b49VkSPUSlc" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b49VkSPUSlc

I pull a power rake from Menard's behind the mower on a separate pass to pick up the windrows. I dump it into a part of the garden that has not been growing even weeds well to compost it. The weeds are loving the new soil. The power rake uses a brush to pick up the grass clippings and is 42" like the deck on the zero turn mower. It came with a pin hitch that needed a leveling spacer. I have replaced that with a trailer hitch and hitch ball for faster hitching. Sometimes it takes as long to rake as it took to mow with about 1-1/2 acre of yard. Gerald J. |

Long time ago I saw on TV a farmer out west( Alberta ?) added a frame and a plastic tarp to his rider so the cut gass would shoot onto it. when full he drove over to 'compost area' and then backed up. All the clippings fell off, then back to cut&carry more grass. It was a simple solution, real famer ingenuity ! Great for wide open lawns.... Maybe an option ?? I do 'ride&bag' my house lawns, toss into veggie compost area..pure nitrogen, great for the garden !
