Since an earlier posted discussed the age of his haying equipment I thought I'd put mine on here and see if anyone can beat it. I'm doing about 1500 bales per year with the following:
Cutting - 1955 300U with 469 haybine. Not sure of age of the haybine - late 60's?

Own - 57 years old - only thing that breaks down much.
