Stubble Height vs Tons Per Acre

Got a field of mixed Timothy - was straight Climax timothy, but seems like everything else wants to grow in it too...🙁

Sooooo - I'm giving this field a closer cut and overseeding this fall.

I've been cutting as high as my trusty Hesston 1110 sickle mower conditioner will cut - 5 inches. Today, I took 2 inches out of the cut to give me a 3 inch high cut and the difference in just that 2 inch stubble height is amazing.

Any rule of thumb for 1 inch stubble height vs typical ton per acre?

What would be better for overseeding a slit seeder or a no till drill? Thanks

Trouble with needle timing on my NH311

Ever since I've owned this baler (4 years) the timing marks haven't been lined up so I finally got around to trying to get the needle timing fixed.  The timing marks were probably 1-1.5 inches off.

 

I did exactly what the manual says--

 

I removed the drive chain by loosening the idler pulley and lowering it.

 

Turned the flywheel in direction of travel ntil the crank was vertical and between the timing marks.

 

I confirmed the knotter clutch pawl was resting against the backstop on the knotter clutch.  Then I pulled out on the needle yoke rod.

 

I turned the clutch gear until the timing marks were lined up.  In the picture I was turning the one on the LEFT.  It was difficult to keep it correctly in place when replacing the chain.

 

I reinstalled the chain and tightened it, then tripped the knotter and turned it through a complete cycle.  After doing this, my timing marks were off by about an inch again (about where they were before).  Pic is attached by how far they're off.  What am I doing wrong here?

Fall pasture & hay field seeding

I'm making plans to do some fall cover crop planting in a very over grazed and poor ground pasture. Been talking with "reed" about my plans and looking for all the input I can get.

 

We are so dry here I decided to use the disc plow to loosen the top few inches to give the seed somewhere lay, I will be using a 3pt spreader to throw seed then cultipack..

 

Hope to be ready and have seed here next weekend and be ready in case we get some rain..

 

Area is about 7ac, very rocky, somewhat steep, and poor fertility..  Their isn't much other than Common Bermuda & crab grass.. 

 

Not sure what the seed place has or can get yet, will be calling tomorrow to see...

 

Plan -

 

Fescue

Rye grass- type ?

winter wheat

turnips - type ?

radish - type ?

black oats ?

winter peas ?

 

What else might I plant/ask for at the seed place, just looking to help the ground and have forage to give my hay stack a break..

 

I also will be able to fertilize and keep the horses & cows off for a while until things get established...

 

That block of granite weighs around 1K lbs..

 

And my stallion has to be with me and help...
