Just curious. About when was the first hydroswing built/sold?I think the Hesston 1014 was the first?
 
Not sure. I had a Hesston 1010. Don't know if that was before the 1014 or built at the same time.
 
Maybe late 60's. JD's first was 1973, but Hesston I think already was on their second version which operated to both sides of the tractor. Hesston and JD's first did not.
 
Owatonna also made one back then and might have been first. Im not sure of the date, but it was right in that time frame.
 
The 1014 was first. JD copied it and was sued by Hesston and lost. The 1014 was available in 12' and 14' and had a single sickle at first. If you are thinking of going with the Hesston try for a "+2" version that has double sickles. I liked the way the Hesston conditioned, but the New Holland 499 had full 9ft rolls and would lay out a wider faster drying swath. Once you've cut with a swinging machine you'll be spoiled.

I've briefly mowed with a couple, didn't see much advantage as my head only wants to turn one way .....
