Hey Andy! This reminds me of a fun but sweaty summer when I was 15.... my first year doing hay. 1st cutting and second, I wind rowed and loaded square bails. It takes a ton of bales to fill those 52' vans 😪
#lazypondfarm it sure does! There’s been several times I thought I was going to pass out picking up square bales lol.. and no matter what it always seem to be the hottest day of the year!

Is your '50 B 6 volt? I am looking at a '51 that is 6 volt wondering how the 6 volt works? If I buy it not sure if I should shaould change to 12 volt system.
@@Marine-iu3ev mine is 6 volt and it works good. As long as the generator and regulator are functioning to specs it does a good job. There are videos on CZcams that deal with the 6 volt systems and how to maintain them.
Andy, if this is a '48 B how come it has square axles. I didn't think they came out until 1950 or so. the position of the decals on the side of the hood would also indicate a 1950 or later model, but it is the square axles that caught my eye. Great video and thanks for sharing!
@@lawsonlawnandfarm8073 oh okay I gotcha. Last year was my first year doing hay. I only got a tedder towards the end of the season and I have no idea how I did it before. Such a huge help
@@lawsonlawnandfarm8073 sometime last year I cut a small field in the morning and immediately tedded it and it sounds crazy but it’s the truth... I baled it later the next day
Good to see the B in use. They maintain better when actually used and worked.
When i started farming my first tractor was a 1949 JD B
My first tractor was a 1948 JD B single front wheel. I miss the " Popping Johnny " sound. It was music to my ears. Thanks.
I feel the same way every time I run it.. there’s no better sound. Thanks for watching
Awesome video 👍
I sure do like the tractor videos
Thanks

Great video seeing how the hay rower gets its power from the back wheel I still get shivers down my spine when I think about SQUARE BALES the pain
Love John Deere
Like the the old deere , i got the same rake been over thousands of acres with it never had any breakdowns cant beat them.
joe tiller yes sir my daddy has one as well and between mine and his there’s no telling how many thousand acres they’ve raked
Great video and great explanation keep up the good work❤❤❤
Thanks and thanks for watching
@@lawsonlawnandfarm8073 You're very welcome
Great video man! I think my dad’s going to rake with the old JD 2010 this year.
DTB Farms thanks man! I love these old tractors
New Yankee subscriber here! Very good videos, and like the way you explain reasons for how and why things are done.
Thanks. Unfortunately I haven’t made a video in a while. Life has gotten in the way but hopefully I can get back at it soon

Yea that’s something I discovered later on. I don’t think it’s a 48 but that’s what I was told when I bought it
Need to get you a little 2 basket tedder. They’re a big help
We actually have one .. honestly I can’t remember why I didn’t Ted this hay before raking
@@lawsonlawnandfarm8073 oh okay I gotcha. Last year was my first year doing hay. I only got a tedder towards the end of the season and I have no idea how I did it before. Such a huge help
@@nalley6815 yes they are I remember way back when we got one it would save a day in drying time
@@lawsonlawnandfarm8073 sometime last year I cut a small field in the morning and immediately tedded it and it sounds crazy but it’s the truth... I baled it later the next day
@@nalley6815 yep doesn’t sound crazy to me.. I’ve done the same thing as well
ROLL A BAR NOT ROLLBAR
Mack Kline you gotta look over us NC mountain boys we can’t talk right😂
@@lawsonlawnandfarm8073 Mac McCarty designed NH rake and then designed the Haybine 12 years later
Mack Kline cool info.. new holland is the only brand hay equipment we use
@@lawsonlawnandfarm8073 they are the first and last brand of hay equipment
Mack Kline I agree
