Bob, whether or not you need a crimper or not is HUGE, but it depends on where you are and what your ground is like. Here in the Northeast there is often a lot of moisture in the ground into August. This dictates that we make hay in a very different way from those who are on dry ground. It makes no difference whether we use a mower or a swather we have to put it into a narrow swath or we are driving on it after it is cut and pressing it down into the soft ground-not good for drying. As others have said we need to crimp it or it won't dry quickly enough for the good weather stretch that we have before the next rain. We also need to ted the swaths out after 4-6 hours of letting the ground dry out. If you are on dry ground that mower will work as well as your swather. As to the round and round part, as others have said we go around 5-6 times until the corners get tight, the strike off lands that are usually around 100 to 150feet wide and go back and forth. Yes, you will mow much faster without plugging and you will have the capability of getting twice as much hay rained on as you did with the sickle bar mower.

Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil�s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
