If you are going with a sickle bar mower, a good old New Idea trailer would be my first choice. Some even had and aux shaft to run a crimper behind, some old JD # 5 or 7's also had that feature but were a 2 point hitch system and a bear to hook up, pinched my fingers many a time till we dedicated an old JD B to mower duty, this would save time and gas. Then get an JD crimper with steel rollers, to tow behind. Haybines are ok and do double duty of cut and crimp but I think they squeeze to stalks to much and the rubber rollers dry rot and fall apart from sitting out side. As balers go round balers take a lot of manual labor out of the equation, but left out side a good quantity of hay becomes wasted as it rots away. Square balers work much better for stacking in a barn, one with a bale thrower and you will need a couple of good sturdy wagons to go with it . One other thing hay bailed with a square bailer needs to be drier. If you bail to wet it will mold and even spontaineously combust from the heat being stacked tightly together. Above all Saftey First, shut off every thing,PTO, tractor engine and set brakes before trying work on any thing. PS: tie up the dog!!many ended up 3 legged when they ran from the barn to visit their master while he was mowing. Time to get off my soap box again..xcuse my spellin
