Boy oh boy, that is some nice weather you just talked about, love doing hay in those conditions. Yes sir, I agree with you the Massey Ferguson 1105 and the Krone 2801cv makes a great working pair. I've never ran a flail, but a lot of folks have said they do a nice job, my sons is a discbine with rollers, one metal and one rubber. Nice video, I like what your doing there, good luck with the rest of the hay. Thanks and I hope you have a nice day!

Believe it or not but cutting hay with a sickle bar leaves nearly 70% more nutrients in the hay than a haybine or discbine because it doesn't crack the stems or leaves allowing the nutrients to seep out or dry up and the nutrients also keep making there way into the leaves as it's drying..

Thanks. I may add that a drum mower also does an exceptional job cutting. However, downside is the cut grass/alfalfa still needs to be crimped.

Nice ride-along! I'd love to try a Massey of that caliber someday. Glad you didn't find a fawn (the hard way or otherwise) - I know we've talked about that plenty. Glad to learn more about the mixed grass vs straight variety hay game in your region. Around here, unless it's a dairy carefully cultivating (and chopping) something, it's almost all mixed grass. Granted, we're a net hay importer here in MA (at least for small squares), so a well managed mixed grass hay seemingly sells itself. Maybe the chip we're tossed for our crazy weather 😅. Thanks for sharing, as always!

I agree with you on the hay, something to be said about a mixed grass that's good and bad, also that a field of timothy is a special hay that a fellow can get good prices from. The MF 1105 and the Krone 2801cv work great as a team, does an outstanding job, good luck with it. Have a good evening!

My 7 year old son saw our sickle mower and asked if we can cut our own meadows with it. It’s in good condition, just needs sharpening. Hopefully we get the weather and he can see how it usta be done. He’s been inspired by your video and others like it on utube. Thanks for the video and keeping some of the old ways alive

I've used a Lely Gemini which is the previous model to yours for decades. I was taught to keep the short side to the outside of the field and only make left turns. It seems much less risky and less likely to get caught in a fence row, etc.. Keeping the wide side to the outside and turning right just seems backwards to me. I'm not saying it doesn't work for you but I think it's far easier to keep the wide side inside. Good video.

It has ground speed PTO, however the manual for this rake requires 540 PTO. Don’t run it that fast though. I had a Ferguson rake that required ground PTO.
@windrowfarm21 күн бұрын
@@HumbleHaymakers That makes sense! My 135 has ground speed, my other two Masseys don't. I used to have a Massey 20 rake, which was clearly designed for ground speed (I never had a manual). When I got the 165 without that option, I would run it as slow as I could manage - but I think that ultimately did in the bearings on it. I was looking for an excuse to trade up, anyhow 😅. But that JD looks like it runs well! How is it to take on/off? (That was my biggest complaint with the 20. Back in my days of only having the 135... exhausting on a baling day)
