It's light on tractor specs and best suited to viewers curious about actual haying workflow rather than the PX9020 itself.
Posted by CJ Farms, an owner-operator documenting their own haying season rather than reviewing the tractor.
If the plant shatters, the leaves fall off, and that's where the protein is, not in the stem, so shattering loses the protein content.
Last year's first cutting was baled too dry and the bales turned to powder, basically exploding when cut open at feeding time.
The owner uses Vermeer equipment alongside the Kioti PX9020 to cut, rake, and bale the alfalfa field.
