I would think they would be no problem with hay stubble, my friend has a 640 that has loaded turf tires, with chains on, gets good traction. Without chains might not be so good, but for raking hay, no problem.

An ideal mowing tractor (I always thought at least), great on the hills, one of those 2110 or 4110 fords or close variants thereof, low profile low center of gravity, with those wide turf tires, lot of schools and public works had them here, should be able to rake with one, nice 3 cyl diesel would be good on fuel. I've seen hundred series with belly mowers as well as earlier models, not sure if someone made them for thousand series, now thats a lawn mower, but if you're raking hay, you'll be better off with a 3 pt. finish mower, much easier to take off. Lower profile might not be good on a raised (once raked) windrow, depending on clearance.

My lawn is connected to a small field that I use the brush hog to cut, used to finish mow it, so I've considered the same thing for the lawn, but with the trees and obstacles, lawn tractor wins that argument here.


I can attest to getting stuck with turf tires, we had an international 460 utility, with a cab and hravy duty snow plow, 2 cylinders with down pressure, like a dozer blade, no 3 pt or pto, sure would push snow with chains on, did sink it once, and it was the usual jack up, put chains on, timbers down, that down pressure was handy to lift the front end, but boy once those tires sink it's over quick, was a high schooler then, think it was the first tractor I ever got stuck.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
