Contrary to what most folks would have you believe it was actually developed for use on vegetable harvesters. Very high value operations where infinate variable speeds were required. They work fine on loaders as well but I doubt if one could justify a new one for baling hay. You start doing the repairs on an old one, it would have to be one heck of a valuable hay crop. I have friends that bought these hydros new for potato harvesting, planting and spraying. Other than that they leave them parked, just too much repair and maintinence for low value crops like hay. Most of these guys are on a rotation of potatoes, hay and grain, and it's their tillage tractors that do the hay.
