When I was a teen ager, I decided to go into business for myself, baling hay. So I bought a $200 hay baler. Oh, yes, I soon found out why it sold for so cheap - the twine tying fingers were wore out. So much for the profits the first year -

No, the guys that initially raked the winrows with the tractors got the blame. They would go too fast and it would bunch it up into clumps. We could only do so much running out front trying to fix it.
