I do not know what is out there now but when we were making hay ending in 1981 we has a Case 555, same as a Heston PT-10, 9' machine and did good work and pulled it with a narrow front 1941 Farmall H of 27 PTO HP with no problems In alfalfa or mix. Ground was fairly level. I would have prefered a 7' machine instead of the 9' for smaller swaths for baler capacity and we always had the wings set to spread the hay as wide as possible. Here in this part of Ohio now yet that is how they handle the swath, only if to go in silage is things put in a narrow swath with the conditioner. No problems with the front wheels or rear wheels running on the swath. And with a bar mower if the hay is down from wind-rain the bar will just slide over the hay unless you are cutting one way into the direction the way the hay is laying. On a Haybine the real picks up the down hay to get a good cut. And I have never had the problems with a mower knife plugging or not cutting other posters are complaining about. I bought my first mower, a John Deere horse drawn in 1959 and have worked with several makes since and I am now 73. And where they complain about breaking pitmans I have never had one break, only ones ever to replace were bad from setting outside when I got them. On a older haybine or bar mower make sure good guards in adjustmemt with good wear plates and good sharp underserated knife sections as they came from factory with. The overserated were for cutting ripe wheat or simular crops. not hay.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
