Hay Andy Farms Operates a Fleet of Farm Equipment

Our 2024 New Holland 275 square baler: the biggest small square baler New Holland makes with a hydraulic belt kicker, now baling at Hay Andy Farms.

Our 2024 New Holland 275 is the biggest small square baler New Holland makes that can carry a hydraulic kicker, and it uses every bit of it, launching bales right into the wagon. Add a hydraulic swing and a built-in moisture meter, and this baler is all brains and brawn.

Every bale has to go somewhere, and at Hay Andy Farms it lands in one of our EZ Trail wagons. These wagons are a perfect match for baling because they give us two options. When the hay is coming in fast, the baler's kicker tosses bales right in with no stacking needed, and a wagon holds about 150 to 175 bales that way. When we take the time to stack them neatly, the same wagon can carry 250 to 275 bales, depending on bale size and weight. And keep an eye out this holiday season: you just might see one of our wagons at the Sandy Hook tree lighting!

Fourteen blades, seven discs, one big job. Our 2017 DC 92 Discbine has been cutting hay at Hay Andy Farms since 2024, and its flail conditioners line the hay up in tidy windrows behind it. The 986 pulls, the Discbine cuts, and the hay season officially begins.

This cuts the Hay with 7 discs with 2 blades on each disc after cutting there are what called flail conditioners  that pushes out the hay in to windrows

 Good hay starts with good drying, and that's the John Deere 2355's specialty. At Hay Andy Farms, this tractor is used almost exclusively for tedding, pulling the tedder through freshly cut fields to fluff and spread the hay so it dries evenly in the sun. It's rugged enough for long hours in the field and fuel efficient enough to keep those hours affordable, which makes it the perfect match for the job.

Every hay season starts with the cut, and that job belongs to our 1986 International 986. The newest addition to Hay Andy Farms arrived in 2026 and took over running the discbine, the mower that cuts and conditions the hay so it's ready to dry. This tractor may be older than I am, but it has the weight and horsepower to pull our equipment up the steep hills on our fields, where a lighter tractor would struggle. Nearly forty years old and still the right tool for the job.

One of the hardest workers at Hay Andy Farms is older than most of our visitors. Our 1966 Farmall 656 Hydrostatic came home to the farm in 2017, and it's been earning its keep ever since. Built in 1966, adopted in 2017. Our Farmall 656 Hydrostatic may be pushing 60, but nobody's told it to retire. You'll find it [out in the fields / leading hayrides / parked by the pumpkin patch], doing what it's done for decades.
