Looking for any info on a Matthews Co mower. It looks like a cross between a NH haybine and a Mott flail mower. Its a 7 foot cut and uses a flail system to cut and condition the hay, putting it in windrows out the rear. It does a good job of cutting, but seems better suited to flatter fields than we have here. It seems unpluggable in the worst, downed crops, but takes a fair bit of HP and is quite heavy. I have heard these mowers were sold by NH or through the NH dealer system. Would like to find out date & place of mfg, recomended HP and availability of replacement parts. Many thanks. Roy

Many thanks to GRM & Tim for the info and the link. That is the unit I had described. Tim your correct about the rocks, my haying partner thought a motor cycle helmet would be a useful accessory with this machine. The up side to this machine is that if your fields are not flat they will be next year. Thanks again. Roy

I bought one back in the middle 70s. It was a 7ft cut and it did a good job. I would'nt recommend it on alfalfa, though. I know what you mean about needing lots of HP. I hooked it up to a new Ford 3000 I had just bought and was it could do. It ran much better on my Ford 5000 which was 65 PTO HP. Company was called M&W. I think they're still in business.

Probably a Rotary Scythe. Here's the website of the manufacturer. I used a New Idea Cut/Ditioner this year, which is a similar flail-type machine. Works good in down stuff, but sucks up a lot of stones.

Yup, you're right. It was a Rotary Scythe made by the Mathews Company and not M&W. Thanks for correcting my memory.
