Sorry, I did not post anything yet. I have only had one haying window this season, around the 19-22 of June. I cut one field and got 294 bales, used my new $200 NH 68 baler after I put on a tire and chain and made new plunger bearings for the bottom. The 300 was great, I was able to run the 9' haybine in 2nd gear and used the TA a little bit while climbing some of the steeper hills. I would have had enough power to run in 3rd but I did not steer as well, especially on the corners. The temp never got over about 150 or so on the gauge, the oil pressure stayed past the halfway point even when hot and everything went well except that I had to bale the last 60 bales with the Massey 35 because the 300 stopped getting gas to the carb. I took it apart and found that rust flecks had built up in the sediment bowl inlet because I was only opening the valve about 1/2 turn and there was not enough room for them to be flushed down into the bowl. Now I open it two full turns and that should be far enough to keep that from happening again. I do not know about the fuel economy, I do not keep very good track of how much gas I use. I just peer into the tank and if it looks low I put in some more. Overall I am very happy with the 300 and I especially liked having the fast hitch so I did not have to jack the baler and haybine tongues up, and having the springy seat with a cushion on it. The governor response also seemed a lot smoother than on my H, the engine speed was much more constant without my having to do anything when I went from uphill to downhill. Zach

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
