The J D No 8 would not do the job you are wanting to do, with that you would have to bush hog the vines and then rake then for that type of chopper. What you want is a flail also known as a green chopper that cuts up the stalk and blows it in the wagon at the same time and JD, IHC and NH all built a 60" - 5' model and for your use 20 PTO HP would run one of them, heavy green hay would take more power.
