I have a 7 ft. Massey Cut-Ditioner, It is a useful tool in making hay, here's what I have experienced. They are suppose to be able to cut grass and alfalfa, but I don't use it to cut because it tends to grind too much and the windrow lays tight to the ground and it won't dry, grinds too many leaves off alfalfa. To cut grass it has to be sharp and the grass has to be heavy or it doesen't cut and leave a windrow, just blows it out the back. I do. use it as a conditioner, cut with a 9ft. haybine and lay in a wide swath, skip a day and then run over it with this unit, it turns the swath and fluffs it and leaves a tall windrow, I have the shields adjusted narrow enough so I can bale from the windrow. It is the best hay drying machine I have ever seen, I wouldn't sell it for any amount of $$. Today I was chopping covering or bedding hay in the low ground where I haven't been in 3 years due to it being too wet, very slow going because its only designed for 35 HP. and will sheer the pin in a second, I'm using about 70 HP on it. But with a lot of patients it will make nice bedding out of canary grass, as I said the best use is for a hay conditioner in grass. By the way, the hammers are suppose to swing freely and the roller is only to keep it out of the ground.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
