Your son did a nice job! That is so satisfying listening to the John Deere and sickle bar while watching the hay fall. Great video, thanks for posting.
👍😊 I'm 57 and helped a farmer with a 60 and clipped oats and re clipped wheat stubble only to be put up with a AC Roto baler 😊😊👍.I miss those days but my body won't let me do what I used to do.
Gosh we had a “B” and the #8 mower just like it. I think we had a #5 and #9 mowers too. I mowed lots of hay with the #10 and #50 front side mount, usually on the 3010, 3020, or 2510 diesel tractors
Usually 3rd gear. The tractor has 42” rear tires. I have a B with 38” rear tires and would use 4th gear sometimes. In very heavy grass hay might use 1 gear lower.
Something about a sickle mower is just a beautiful thing to watch work.

I just got a JD B. ❤
We had one like that. We sure got rid of cats, at times
Hey what gear do you put the tractor in while mowing?
Usually 3rd gear. The tractor has 42” rear tires. I have a B with 38” rear tires and would use 4th gear sometimes. In very heavy grass hay might use 1 gear lower.
