One cutting a year - bluestem cutting starts in mid to late July through August (some times into Sept) - brome is cut in June (late) and most of July. One other thing to throw in - 9 sons and my dad where doing this work in addition to our row crop. I started rolling bales at age 5 and running a rake at age 7, and once I was big enough to throw bales I didn't see much tractor seat time as I was the 8th of the 9. Granted there is some streatch in there somewhere - 81 or 82 a pull type swather was bought, never was to impressed by it. To properly cure the hay it still needed to rolled and usually two swaths made into one. The 440 baler moved at 6 to 7 MPH. Rake - rakes moved at what ever speed the field would bear. The H pulled a 9' sickle bar mower and the 240 pulled a 7' - both balanced head mowers. Started each season with new ledger plates and new sections in all sickles (average two a day per mower). We ran 7 days a week 14-16 hours a day - half day Sunday.
