Haybine mowing

I'm considering buying a used 7-ft Haybine/moco for hay cutting, and would like to know if the Haybine could also be useful for mowing other fields that are NOT to be taken for hay. I have a 5-ft brush hog for general field mowing but am wondering if the 7-ft Haybine would be quicker in mowing down my 15-acre pasture fields than the brush hog. The fields are all mostly mixed grass and not too rough or wet. I drive a MF 135 Diesel 38 pto h.p., so it's a small set-up for me.

You can , loosen the rolls up and set to spread, and not to windrow. Set her up high and go at it. Cost of a good hatbine here is 500 - 1500 . A good sickle bar ?? is there one, I have used them for years and now hate them, have and older NI 30 0r 251 that will cut at 4-5 MPH but it is no Haybine. Cost to buy a top of the line sickle is around 2500-3000 Nieghbors have one, she will cut and does a nice job. I bushhog the rough areas. Burn off some others in the spring. Bale some pasture hay in july and august, mix feed it and what they don't eat use for bedding.

Have A Good One !!

Another thought for pasture mowing, There are (around here) lots of swathers, both self propelled and pull type that did not have conditioners. Most have gone to windrowers or Discbines now so these are often reasonably priced.

I read this post earlier and passed it by but I think I am going to wade in on it. I think it is really not the thing to do. Forgetting about taking off the chute so that it doesn't windrow it, why would you want to wear out the rollers on a good haybine mowing a pasture? I could use a good 7 or 9 foot haybine and have a devil of a time finding one I can afford around here. You need JUST the sickle portion and there are a LOT of good sickle bars around that will do a great job on your pasture. Just my opinion for what it is worth.

I use a 9 foot NH 460 behind my Oliver 77 which is 38HP and it plays with it. Yes you can use one to mow and not bale the hay. You might want to romve the winrow fuction if you do or it will kill areas of the field.

Awful expensive way to clip pasture, even if it is your own and don't think you'll damage the haybine.

Like the other posters said find a sickle bar mower.

Didn't say I did and also didn't say it was something I would do but it can be done. I also onw 2 sickle mowers so I don't use the MOCO in that way
