Thanks - no TA abuse. But I did (and do) use it. Started out mowing 2nd gear TA for a couple of rounds, I was satisfied the tractor would handle the haybine and that it was not going to fly apart. Been a few years since I have ran the Hesston and first time I have used the Farmall for anything other than drawbar chores. These Farmall are all new to me. In my neck of the woods Ford 3000s and MF 135s ruled and are still a great presence on farms. So with dark approaching, I quit for the day. Made that other post, and returned to the farm the next afternoon. First gear direct is a tad slower than second TA, so I tried that to spare the TA. At that speed, I estimated I would be finished with the field next year
So I used second gear direct, the mower cut with no problems, the Farmall while loaded, did not overheat or cause me concern - at full throttle too and I got finished.
Over the course of cutting, I went from somewhat jangled nerves hoping nothing would break to a nice relaxing cruise as I went along and finished.
It is my expectation that this Farmall 350 can and will be used full load and full out on this farm as required. No offense to anyone, but I will leave the parade tractors to others - LOL!

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
