Does the M have enough power.

I have an M for sale and a prospective customer was wanting to know if this tractor had enough power to run a 7 foot haybine. Does anyone have an answer because I don't know.
 
If the M is in good shape I see no reason that it would't. We pulled a 7 foot mower with a crusher behind it with no problems and we made hay on some hilly ground. The only thing that would be nice is if it had live pto.
 
An M comes in at around 36HP and I use an Oliver 77 which is 38HP to pull a 9 foot haybine so it should pretty much play with a 7 footer.
 
Plenty of power for lighter hay with a 9 foot cut machine. The biggest disadvantage is no live or independent PTO. Also, the hydraulics could be potentially lacking with the newer mower-conditioners that do not rely on a single 3 X 8 cylinder.
 
i ran a 1207 jd with an h it turned it ok only problem was the pencil size lift cylinder on the cutter required more pressure than the h had to lift it properly,what i was cutting was medium thickness waist high sudan-sorghum,i used the same cutter with a larger tractor to cut some other crops the h would have struggled with

I pull a 7 foot haybine, in radiator tall , thick timothy with my M. Not a problem.
 
I ran a 9 foot haybine behind an M. No problems as long as it is running right. The only problem was using a 2"dia. cylinder. Put a 3" on it and it lifted with no problem.
