[QUOTE="2busy, post: 4150721, member: 12213"] The problem with baling clover is the stem. Unless you have a crimper to crack the stems the leaves will dry up and fall off before the stem gets dry enough. You will have a bale of tough stems. Grandfather fought it for years trying to bale it. Clover will mature before the nights get warm to help the curing. Arrow leaf clover gets big and tall and can be difficult to see where you have cut with a hay mower especially if it is a small area. It takes a little while to wilt and fall . You'll have to go by tractor tracks to see where you've been. If you wait for other grasses to make hay the clover is big and tough. It'll intertwine together and makes a clover rope. [/QUOTE]
