Like many others I'm really impressed by your dads skill but I'm also super impressed by your camera work. I have an idea how you do some of it but still "hats off to you".
We had a neighbor who mowed with a haybine and did just as your dad does. Never missed a blade of grass. He had a Massey Ferguson 720 mower conditioner
My dad used to do the same thing, with a Case 600 & an old 3-pt JD sickle mower. As a kid I thought it was very cool. When I got older & tried it myself, I couldn't! And then I started wondering how he did it w/o catching/breaking a finger on the steering wheel.😁
Better off cutting around the field in a smooth easy way rather then such a sharp snap turn ! Easy to break a PTO or rip a tractor tire on the haybine . After finishing go back and clean up the corners. Just go a bit slower and allow the hay to feed through. Ive always cut around the field instead of going empty on the end. Never understood going empty on the ends. Much slower !
Nice grass hay! I could cut hay like that with my narrow front JD 60 but it was rough on my U joints, so I quit and did the 270 degree rotation. Did Dad buy his John Deere's new? There was a JD dealer in Escanaba back in the 70's.
Give it grease and oil the chains and you will have no problems. But every year we change the sickle bar bushing, when it wears out. You’ll hear it, extra rattling. Lower your cutter bar if it plugs up and shut everything down, crawl underneath and pull the hay out. It sucks but it happens. Overall it’s a great machine.
nicely done Dad..... There has been a consistent amount of attention to the correct details happening for many years!! It shows! thank you Sir.
I always did corners like your Dad, never gave a thought to any other way. Now living in Florida with much less acreage I miss that Haybine.
Young farmer take note getting it done old school great video
A true master at work!! Love the video!! Keep up the good work!!
Great video... Your dad definitely knows what he is doing. Hats off to you both....
That was the first haybine I cut with. Sorry to say I don't miss it! Have a New Holland 7450 Discbine now. Neat to watch your dad make the corners!

Can see the young fellow on the tractor has had a lot of experience at cutting hay, bet he likes the smell of freshly cut grass ?
He has surpassed operator status
I thought I was the only one that turned corners like that. It's even easier with a tri-cycle front end.
I am like you when I learned how to do that it was on an a John deer and a seven foot cycle bar John deer mower

Good video 👍
I loved doing this work until one day I did a stupid thing and sold the haybine, regretted it ever since.
👍👍👍👍👍

AKWayne S I believe one was new and one used from that JD dealer you speak of and I think it was called Farmers Supply back then!
Fun to watch a master at work! 3020 gas or Diesel?
Jason Swenson it’s a 65 hp gas!
We had a diesel. Damn good reliable tractor.
Why the funny exhaust?
Jerry Hill I wondered how long before someone would ask, the tractor stays parked in the manure room under the barn cleaner and it’s a low ceiling.
@@zawadafarms7402 I thought that it was something like that.
Not just another pretty face at that job is he?
I'm looking at buying this model you guys have any problems and how do you unplug one of these
