We use a <a href="https://youtu.be/lmvPOGCvIKM">9ft John Deere 350 sickle mower</a> to cut our hay fields.

Greatgrandfather's sulky rake. I run it a round or two every year and let the grandkids ride it and pitch hay over the fence to the cows.

larry@stinescorner · Mar 3, 2016

I found some more pictures I took years ago,my neighbor raking our field,I hope you like them,Traditional Farmer,,it took me over an hour to find them in the files,,,,lol

wijim · Mar 3, 2016

Old and new!

Tom OConnor · Mar 3, 2016

Is a mower and crimper combination OK.

rusty6 · Mar 3, 2016

Nothing too special about this old horse powered rake except that it belonged to my grandfather and it has been on this farm since new. Its a
Massey Harris.

Nick m · Mar 3, 2016

My grandpa used the ol sickle bar to mow alot of
hay. It's a #9. Just gets played with now.

1600 I sold last spring

The 920 discbine I replaced it with

And a gehl wr206 behind the massey

ChasK · Mar 3, 2016

These are from a few years ago... baling 10 year in October!

David G · Mar 3, 2016

I have to give you the vote for the prettiest equipment.

dmiller · Mar 3, 2016

Baler's ugly, but the view is pretty.

K Effective · Mar 3, 2016

Nick-m: I just picked up a 920 discbine as well. How do you like yours? Any tips? Replacing a 1219.

gab · Mar 3, 2016

That's a nice looking rig but that crimper is raising my blood press. just looking at. We had a new one in probably the early 60s and seems like I spent half of my teen years laying under that cutting hay off the rolls with my knife, what a pile of junk. Fortunately one of the rolls started chipping off after 3 or 4 years and it got traded for a Cunningham, I think, which worked flawlessly.

shaun wallace · Mar 3, 2016

The one I had for several years

Bonnan · Mar 3, 2016

Man that looks like good countryside. Are they hunting beagles I see?

Bruce SEKs · Mar 3, 2016

55a · Mar 3, 2016

One more: My brother ask me one time how many tractor do you need to make hay. I just replied "as many as I want"

rick1 · Mar 3, 2016

Here's some of mine
Rick

Nick m · Mar 3, 2016

It's alright. The 1600 would cut cleaner, but still
wouldn't go back. The discbine cuts much better
in thicker stuff compared to thin. Don't know why,
but does. Can go as fast as you want, never clogs,
and if you have rocks like me, it's nice only having
to change one little $3 blade compared to a Deere
non clog guard, hold down, and knife. Much
quicker and easier to change also. Mine has flails
and in fine new seeding or late season alfalfa, you
can't have them set too aggressive or it'll really
chew it. Heavy first cutting i can have it as
aggressive as I want. I'd guess you'll want 80+hp
tractor on it. 115hp tractor knows it's back there in
heavy hay. All in all, easy machine to operate and
seems built well. Don't even know if I gave you
any tips, but went on a good rant anyway.

NEKS · Mar 3, 2016

I used to pull this swather with the WD 25 years ago. Hooked it up this summer to cut oats with and didn.t remember it working the WD that hard.

Tom OConnor · Mar 3, 2016

It was one of the first ever hay conditioner and did have some wrapping problems but I have never had a problem with it driving in a parade.

casecollectorsc · Mar 3, 2016

Here's a couple.....

rediron600 · Mar 3, 2016

My 450 and 1190

JD Seller · Mar 3, 2016

Here we are making Rye hay before we finish planting corn. This was the spring of 2013. Just show you some of the "flat" land we farm. LOL

37chief · Mar 3, 2016

Clean sweep rake. I have no idea what this rake is for. I took a picture of it on a trip last year. Stan

69stang · Mar 3, 2016

My 375 and skid steer

CenTex Farmall · Mar 3, 2016

That windrow turner is a new one to me.

jeffcat · Mar 3, 2016

How many notice that they are for all Five steps of the hay harvest? Neat photo and we like.

oldsarge · Mar 3, 2016

Seems funny to see a mower on a tractor that big.We mowed for three farms with a semi-mount on an F-12,raked and pulled the hay rope with my 2N,and pulled the baler with a WD(hand clutch was handy if it started to slug up)

casecollectorsc · Mar 3, 2016

It's a Case rake. Someone must have added the bristles for a specific job.

Eldon (WA) · Mar 3, 2016

JD MT with belly mount mower, rake green and yellow JD?, NH 66 baler. Its OK I paid $50 for the baler
and $15 for the rake and have used them.

ChasK · Mar 4, 2016

A Border Collie and Aussie-Shepard/beagle mix. Not real hunting dogs, but they are always out to clean up the mice.They are very good at keeping the coon, 'possum, and coyotes away from the buildings.

OldBuzzard · Mar 4, 2016

For those really small fields

johnlobb · Mar 4, 2016

That 530 and crimper combo was taken at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI! Was that last year?

jimmyjoe · Mar 4, 2016

.

Tom OConnor · Mar 4, 2016

It was John. The Gilmore Show is one of the best I have ever been to.

Tom OConnor · Mar 4, 2016

Thanks for your complement David. Everything that we have restored we went for the look of when the John Deere Dealer unloaded it in the yard about sixty years ago. Most likely none of it will ever go to a field again. They have all done their share of work and hopefully they will end up in some museum so that others can enjoy their history.

formerly ny bill · Mar 4, 2016

dad bought a new holland 900 self propelled speedrower that year, and it could only put hay in a windrow. the 2-wheel turner worked to flop the windrows over, when we were trying to get it dry to bale.

JRSutton · Mar 4, 2016

Love using this rake in small fields

Kickinbull · Mar 4, 2016

We used to have a 3pt PTO allis rake. It was very good at making a fluffy windrow.

Kickinbull · Mar 4, 2016

No unhooking. Neat. Do you have another set of tractors for crops?!!!Lol.

Cue P. · Mar 4, 2016

JR...everytime I see that setup I start drooling. Would you be interested in being in the Uxbridge Memorial day parade with it?
~Joe

Cue P. · Mar 4, 2016

Helped out a friend of mine rake with my 49 W4.

JRSutton · Mar 4, 2016

Thanks - but we already do the Sutton memorial day parade! Usually not with this rake though. It's kind of awkward on the road, especially narrow windy roads, and it's too tough to trailer. I love the rake - but it really wants to sit in one field and stay there.

I scratched my wife's jeep up really good with it - when you're used to shorter rakes that follow right behind you, it's easy to forget this thing's sticking out and swinging all over the place behind you.

Cue P. · Mar 4, 2016

OK - thought I'd ask.
