For years, I had a neighbor who cut and baled my hay for me. I would rake, haul wagons and unload using my Ford 8n. When he could no longer do it, I bought a well used New Holland haybine and my father in law who grew up on a farm did the cutting and baling.
I now have a tractor with the capabilities of running the haybine and baler and I'm determined to be able to do the cutting and baling myself. Yesterday evening I did the cutting. Once I got speed, etc... adjusted, it went pretty well. However, it took me a lot longer to get up and running (hooking everything up; little PTO problem; etc...) than I anticipated, and I ran short of daylight before I finished cutting.
I have just a couple of strips left, and was wondering if anyone has a good tip on how to finish the field when your final strip is narrower than the 9 foot haybine. I know that running hay that is already cut through the haybine is a recipe for clogs. When others have cut for me, they've managed to finish with a clean field, having no uncut strip left in the middle.
If I have to leave a small strip in the middle of the field, it's not the end of the world, but before I head out to finish that last bit, was wondering if anyone had advice. Thanks.
Here's me running out of daylight on my first time cutting hay... kind of like the way it turned out.

But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
