Can my 50 run a haybine? If so what width would work best? Thank you for any help.

I wouldn't go any bigger then a 7ft. haybine.
I hooked up my 1209 once just to move it around the yard, won't do that again with the 50.
I have a JD #38 7ft. for my 50, it will cut hay all day long in 5th.

Tye Years ago my dad and I pulled a borrowed 9 ft haybine with a 49 A gas. We were cutting some pretty heavy hay and it would pull it. But it kept the A in a strain and at the end of the day we had to tighten the clutch on the A. This wasn't by choice but the A was the only thing we had to pull it. A 50 might do ok with a 7 ft haybine but it won't handle it with ease.

I have a 9' New Idea mower conditioner that I pull with my 720 with no problems.I have also pulled it with my 60 with sucess.However I mow some ground that is hilly and with good heavy red clover and grass mixed hay it's a load for my 60. I sold my 50 3 years ago when I purchased the 720 so I can't say it won't pull it,but it would work the old girl hard.My 2 cents would be to use something a little bigger than your 50 or get a old sickle mower like a #5 or #8.I have a #8 that I use quite often latter in the summer when drying time isn't as much of a concern & the little 50 I had was great on the mower.

Tye in heavy hay a haybine would be pretty tough work for your 50. I have a 477 New Holland 7 foot
cut and in heavy first crop with brome, clover alfalfa mix I use the 2630 but in second crop I can use the 520 with no problem. I had pto problems on a 520 from pulling the haybine, it
was a expensive fix so now I am trying to save it
a little bit. A number 5 , 8 or 38 sickle mower
is alot of fun with a B ,50 or 520 and will get the job done but the hay will take longer to dry
unless you ted, crush or crimp. Good luck with your 50.

If the hay is heavy, a 7 footer will give the 50 all it wants. I believe it is around 32 HP. I once saw a neighbor try to pull a 9 footer with a 42 HP tractor. It was overloaded most of the time.

Tye, like so many tractor questions, yours depends on how tough and wet and thick and type of hay. Real thick heavy wet hay would pull the *&^%$ out of a 50 with a 9 ft haybine, but in not overthick and good dry hay, it would do a nice job with a 7 ft. Other factors to make her pull better are a good sharp knife and use when shes nice and dry. (A lower gear may be necessary in heavier hay with that 50) Of course, you could hook her to a 9 ft and get the job done (maybe not in 4th gear) and Im sure people have, Im just talking in broad general terms that a 9 ft would be a hard pull on the old girl. I use a 720 on a 9 footer and in the first cutting in heavy hay, thats a good load. Ol John T
