Here's a picture of my brother using a IH 201 Windrower for 3rd cutting alfalfa. It was working good until blowing a tire on the 2nd round. The field had to be finished with a New Holland pull time conditioner. The IH 201 was purchased at a farm auction and only needed a good battery, canvases & water pump to get running well. It spent a lot of time parked outside, but was used very little. Our grandfather used a IH 175 Windrower with Wisconsin engine which we plan to get running again. He said it dried the hay faster than pull behind conditioners. The IH 201 will be used for grass hay and a good backup machine for alfalfa. Breakdowns have hurt profits in the past so two cutters and balers are ready to use. Is anybody else still using these International self propelled machines for cutting hay?

Hi larry, I used a 201 for more than 20 years for both hay and grain. The platform and real are in bad shape, found a good 210 so I use that now. Chuck

we were using a 230 windrower full time until a few years ago, it's just shot. got to the point where every 5 feet you'd have to stop and fix something,every 10 unplug the conditioner, once a round cut the wrapped stems out of the reels and every 2 rounds a major breakdown. some critical parts are harder to find now days. the rocks and gopher hills don't help any either. runs best without the conditioner, every one we've had ends up with bent rollers or shaft problems. if it was all new, wouldnt mind it as it's better at keeping the field square, easier to maneuver in the field, and easier see what you're about to hit. this one probably has more hours and abuse on it than the tractor!
