Big Day of Mowing Hay! Sickle mower in action!

[@DG38594]

Doesn't matter what you got going on in life, absolutely nothing better to clear the mind and feel renewed is to jump on a farm tractor and cut hay or mow a field. So relaxing and great to feel the sun and air. Love you still use the old equipment. Grew up on a Massey 35 and 135 and they still hold a special place in my heart.

[@khtractors]

Yes it’s a relaxing place to be. The old Massey’s are top notch, not a new tractor out there that can replace them. Thanks for watching

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Those sickle mowers do a good job just gotta watch for those clogs.

[@khtractors]

I’d really like to get one like you use, that would be perfect for the Massey! Thanks for watching

[@MrPabco]

That sickle mower you repaired sounded sweet as it did it's thing. What an upgrade that must have been in the day from the single human version. Love watching the older equipment out there still contending with the youngsters. 😀 Thanks for bringing us along. Keep safe.

[@khtractors]

That old sickle has mowed hay all over Caney Ridge and Sandy Ridge. Ray use to cut 12,000 square bales a year back in the 70’s and 80’s with that mower. Thanks for watching

[@MrPabco]

Amazing.

[@curtisgarner2144]

You did a good job setting that mower up to cut hay like that.

[@khtractors]

Thank you! It did good, wish I had all new guards on it.

[@HumbleHaymakers]

Looks good - sickle mower doing a nice job.

[@khtractors]

Yeah if I had new guards I think it would do really good. Thanks for watching

[@jamesberg3106]

Love the sound of that sickle bar mower

[@khtractors]

Me too! I like watching the grass fall as it cuts. Thanks for watching

It was a good day of mowing! Thanks for watching

@@khtractors it looked like it was. You're welcome

[@chriselliott2364]

Maybe a day or two of sunshine and a little wind will help dry the swampy part enough for you that you won't have any problems when you bale it!

[@khtractors]

I can bale s small part of that low area but most of it stays very soft. Thanks for watching

[@briannewberry2999]

Massey power!!!

[@khtractors]

I definitely like my old Massey’s! Thanks for watching

Enjoyed it

[@khtractors]

Appreciate you watching!

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good Morning Sir, we can see the moon in the sky at 3:18 in that beautiful farm land of yours Sir 😇👌👍The hay season is OUTSTANDING since we had so much snow and pouring rain, the first cut was done in mid July ( unsual is done in end of Jun ) but because the field were soaked wet and the seeding were late because of that 🥴 Keep up your OUTSTANDING work my friend Cheers 🍻🍻

[@khtractors]

It’s been a crazy summer for weather. I’m happy we’ve finally got these few nice days here. Thanks for watching!

[@loggerjohn01]

Hey Ben, that's a big field. That old mower works well. That's all we used for years before we got a haybine on the farm. I thought you were finished doing hay a while back lol. Thanks for sharing

[@khtractors]

I’ve never used a haybine or even been around one much. Most everything here is sickles and disc mowers. Thanks for watching

[@countryboyscooter3402]

That bottom field is swampy for sure! nice field otherwise!

[@khtractors]

Yeah it has places you can barely get through. Thanks for watching

[@tucksmith8300]

How far are you from Clintwood??

[@khtractors]

It’s about a 20 minute drive. Thanks for watching

[@botabob]

Maybe the fertilizer is paying off - can you skip a year or do you have to put fertilizer down every year? - Enjoy the journey - cheers

[@khtractors]

Skipping or fertilizing is all up to the farmer. It’s never good to skip many years. Although I do have a few small places where I’ve never fertilized but it shows. Thanks for watching

[@mikerequa820]

Great video Ben!! Love watchin ya'll do tractor work great job that sickle mower still doin the job well I've never had the opportunity to run one enjoy watchin them. We had ten acres before and several neighbors that always needed me to mow bush hog till or spread gravel blade driveway somethin. Now have 4 acres I finish mow bush hog ditches on county road but don't get to enjoy being busy on tractor anymore. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy ya'lls family and homestead

[@khtractors]

I enjoy running the tractors. It’s a good stress reliever. Appreciate you watching!

[@jimconnor8274]

Good morning Ben, interesting video.could you up grade to a disc to replace that older sickle bar?

[@khtractors]

Yeah if I could find another disc mower at an affordable rate I might buy one. Thanks for watching!
