I'm as green as my oats on this subject. I have a ground drive 7ft. Mc-D binder that I plan on using for oats in a month or so. The oats were broadcast in spring & I have a few spots of overlap where they came up pretty thick. I'm using an H to pull the binder & I am concerned the binder is going to bind up in the dense stuff. What gear do I use in regular crop density & do I speed up or slow down when I get into the heavy spots? Also, do I need the extra person on the seat? Or, can I just set the levers & everything before I get started? I only have about 4 acres to bind & everything came up pretty even.

Crazey Red around 2MPH as Leroy stated would be best. The difference about ground drive vs pto drive is changing MPH on ground drive also slows down/speeds up sickle,canvases and tying but doesn't really change it according to crop amount like changing pto rpm's does. In my youth I pulled a binder with a JD B many miles. Tx Jim

Horse speed about 2 MPH, tractor low about 2 1/2MPH, use as high a gear as you can with the throttle pulled back, engine slowed down to get to that 2 MPH and still have enough engine power to do the pulling and keep the same speed at all times. If it seems to be overloading then take only a part of a cut, on seat depending if you want several bundles droped in same place or spread out when it is bundled.
