We have fought the clean cut thing over the years. with what we use . We are running a 1219 john Deeere haybine . with this piece of equipment what we have found is to keep the guards set and setting them with a feeler gauges like the book says helps a lot . Keep a good knife in it and GROUND SPEED is most important . 3.5 to 4 MPH is MAX for us to get a good clean cut.On the two tractors we use for the mowing the one tractor is a 1965 706 gas with 18.4 x34 tires and the tires are Firestone Radials and with it third gear low side T/A in high in first crop is as good as it gets , the second tractor a 1964 806 Diesel with 18.4 x34 off brand goodyears stile bias it is 4th gear low side with the T/A in low as high side gives the long stem affect . We have tweaked fiddled and tried everything to make it work better and gain a little ground speed . a disc bine that another friend has does a great job at a lot higher ground speed as he can mow the same field in less then half our time . He has a new Kuhn and runs it with a 1950T Oliver and it takes all the 1950 has for power at that higher ground speed. Myself i would be happy to just run first high . since we do around a 120 acres atleast four times a year. running third or forth low plum stinks .
