Cutting Hay with 56 Year Old Mower found in a barn. This has got to be better than a sickle bar.

[@anthonydolezal6627]

Had a PT10 for years. Loved it. Keep Smilin!

[@daleredmond6449]

I am just so extremelly happy with the mowing, couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

[@tommygarcia6671]

Hi more work and lass talking.just kidding,your doing great job . God Bless and take care.

[@bobjoncas2814]

...looks like the mower is gettin' er done, stay well

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

So glad. You try so hard. Nice job

[@davidpowell4601]

I'd call that a win!

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

At 3:57........moving right along thru that thick hay ! What a difference between cutting with a sickle mower vs a mower conditioner ! The reel teeth on the mower conditioner is what prevents plugging in thick hay.

[@johnchaffin5494]

The happiness in that smile says it, you loving that cutter.

[@stephaniewilliams1410]

FANTASTIC news!

[@Infinity.....]

@4:20 RUN bunny RUN! ! 🐇

[@tvcat3665]

A rabbit got the heck out of there at 4:20. lol Looks good! Made the job enjoyable for you with no problems.

[@davidscott8400]

You made a great purchase good luck with it you deserve an easier time

[@walterchapman2884]

I could sit and watch you cut hay for hours , it's about time the equipment worked for you like it should. I'm looking forward to the hay baling.

[@solitarybell2836]

Time for a cowboy hat Evan!

[@leon-wk1dq]

I owned the same mower about 36 years ago, the main thing is keep it greased and adjusted, the springs on either side need to be adjusted the same or as close as possible and I used a small lift scale to check either end and when that was set I used it in the middle, it's been a long time but I think I set it to 50 pounds, good luck and happy mowing!!

[@richardduggar4665]

Great addition to the farm

[@jessehubbard9133]

Those Heston mowers are really good

[@leol1682]

Good job Evan now to the feild .

[@kenmorford6156]

One tip that works good for us is letting it sit one day, rake it that evening before the dew sets in, then lat it set the next day, raking it fluffs it up and lets the air through it better Just a thought is all what ever works for you is best

[@RockyRiverFarms]

Those old pt10s served us well for years! Just make sure you keep an eye on that u joint in the hitch cause they are a pain to replace

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That sure went well Evan, so happy for you folks. Thanks for sharing with us and hopefully you'll get it all baled before it gets wet again. Stay safe and have fun. Fred.

[@johnsadler8637]

Hey Fred!

[@Tonetwisters]

Wow. That thing's cuttin' like a champ!

[@stevendenny6524]

Watching these videos are one thing I look forward too while deployed. After I get off I come and check this channel since it reminds me of home.

[@trailrider0194]

I used a sickle mower for years, I then bought a disc mower and later a drum mower. I can tell ya my language has gotten better since I quit using the sickle bar.

[@cayetanososa7836]

Good job evan I’m happy because you happy too hello evan from Santa Fe nuevo mexico USA

[@goephish]

at 4:20 so glad to see the little brown hare make its escape from the mower. running straight for the camera. almost like you planned it.

[@MsSephrena]

Great job - glad it worked so good - Thanks for sharing....

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

[@AppalachianFarmHandChannel]

Finally started my own KZbin restoring my Great Grand Fathers 150 acre property. You and your wife were a big motivation behind me getting my channel started, so thank you very much

[@royjeter121]

Looking good be safe

[@bernardjones6162]

You did an excellent job! No longer a rookie!

[@gbentley8176]

Excellent stuff. Fingers crossed for more good weather. Takes all the strain away when the machines work well. Time for tea. Best from UK.

[@bevnelson3678]

I’m so pleased you did both fields were cut without any breakdown. You’ve fixed everything good.

[@bwlyon]

When I open a hayfield I always start by running around the outside clockwise and leaving the the hay I just drove over sit and mow it last. That gives the hay time to try to stand back up that you initially drove over.

[@kennethperian4370]

Great job showing and telling,keep up the good work see ya next time see ya bye.

[@Alberto-VO5]

Even Even well done my friend i give you A+👍

[@ardenehanson2840]

Im so happy you had a flawless cutting. About time!

[@tinaedwards7044]

So glad it went so smooth.

[@csnanny1882]

I am glad you are happy with your hay cutting today.

[@AllisChalmersMN]

Man that mower worked fantastically!

[@opat0645]

Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧 Evan. Great to see the old mower performing well with your fabrications. Hope the remainder of the hay season goes smoothly. Keep up the great video content!

[@coyotiess]

Now your going good. Like it that means more better this time.

[@bay9876]

Farming can be hard enough but now with the right equipment this are looking really good. Enjoyed the tag along ride and video

[@hombredeacero3131]

Congrats on your successful cutting

[@HendricksonFamilyFarm]

Awesome video Evan as usual!

[@davidtanner4020]

Orchard grass and Timothy will be more prevalent in next years first cut. That hay will be unbelievable. Very good combination for a good crop

[@randygrider9758]

I reccomend tedding hay every morning while the dew is still on(prevents knocking leaves off legumes) this quickens drying time dramatically, and gives you an even cure. Otherwise hay is scorched on top and green on bottom. Makes better hay quicker.

[@davidwatsonii9469]

GLAD IT WORKED OUT WELL

[@colleenb3810]

I'm so glad everything went well for you cutting your hay. Have a wonderful day.

[@anthonywatt3758]

This is one of my favorite channels. Wish I could subscribe again to help you get to 100k. Your positive attitude is refreshing. Always with a smile on your face. You and your wife work hard and deserve all the success.

[@clarencewilson8610]

Don’t it feel good to mow without problems! Don’t ted this time if you have good weather! Happy for you with this mower! If tedding don’t let it dry out before you start!

[@bowlchamps37]

It´s so nice to see old machines still being used since so many people put in so much knowledge, love, passion and time into them. It just feels awesome that people even centuries after that try and use them.

[@kd4baoc612]

In my youth, I worked on a dairy farm that produced its own hay. Its hardwork for anyone wanting to try any type of agriculture. I wish they had roll a bailers back in the 1960's and early 1970's.

[@jaimedu5350]

Thanks for sharing of what you're doing. Keep safe.

[@tonyarnold7297]

Glad the new equiptment worked out talk about less frustration the that cickle bar mower 💯💪👍👍looking foward to see the video with the newer hay bailer

[@lawrencelipon8673]

Great upgrade on equipment very impressive on the gain on speed and production and quicker curing times nice video thanks Evan

[@ColCastree]

I like this mower.. Last video I saw my John Deere tractor (mine was older) I loved that little work horse. I thought... Another tractor? That makes 4. Lol. Great show.

[@CountryViewAcres]

The John deere is my dad's tractor

[@glenparks5175]

Yes good guards and knives cut great

[@dougallmcmillan8970]

wonderful to see your ear to ear smile at the conclusion of hay mowing. Also, hats off to you. The mower ran well because you saw and fixed what was needed to make it run flawlessly. Your foresight reminds me of two saying, "a stitch in time saves nine" and "a penny spent is a pound saved".

[@glenparks5175]

I had one of those it cut hay flawlessly ,had to rebuild that wobble box, used it for four years did a great job

[@garynelson4749]

old cutter seems to be doing well.....good luck getting that clover dry enough in 3 days ...hopefully the crimpers did a good job...and your tedder is tuned up for the clover

[@oby-1607]

Old machines are like a neglected dog. Give them a little love and attention and they will do their best for you.

[@rickworkman4034]

Love farming back in my day,be safe working by our self .

[@tarz9386]

Looks good !

[@dunkilos3632]

HEY, HEY, now your making hay! Peace y'al

[@rockinrranch1431]

I started 4 years ago with a John Deere 350 cycle. Couldn’t keep it together. Bought a Kuhn GMD600 disc mower and used it the last 3 years. Now I’ve stepped up to a Vermeer TM700 trail mower and couldn’t be happier! Feels good to lay down hay without constant break downs.

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job nice love your videos keep up the great work thank you

[@richnusser6079]

Very nice job Evan! That mower is a real Beast when it mows. What a game changer it was.

[@shamrock56gargan96]

We use to cut hay w a cycle bar mower, way different w a conditioner,or rotary cutter. Gad it worked out.

[@coyotiess]

Iam Happy for ya 'So happy to see ya working smarter than the first years, Cause those was hard times then. Now you are doing much better. May you be blessed by the man up above us who watches over us !

[@piggiesshadetreemechanics3657]

The smile on your face says it all... the Hesston PT-10 Mower conditioner was a good investment!

[@noahsizemore1275]

I got me an old 427 hay bine that I fixed up cutting my first cut also tomorrow after I drop some calfs off at auction.

[@darlenemessenger618]

You’re almost, almost, making me miss years of haying on the family farm. It’s beautiful hay. I can almost smell it.

[@thomasfranklin4307]

4:23 An old fashioned saying is “We’ll soon see the rabbit”. Back in the day when cutting rounds with horses, any rabbit in the field would dart out as the hay cover became less and less. For any farm job you might say “We’ll soon see the rabbit” when any work at hand is almost done.

[@DanKlein_1]

love it. I have used both a sickle bar and haybine too.......once you use a haybine, you'll never go back. Can't wait to see how the baler works. we had a learning curve when we first got ours. like tying. when the string first starts to tie, we count 10. then move over, count 3, move over, count 3, then move to the end and count 9 or 10 again. that keeps whole bale firm and outside a little more firm to make it better for stacking on end.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Your Hesston cutter looks like a PT10, my brother mostly, but I also cut with one back in the early 70's, I was normally the baler guy. As I remember it did a nice job, but we had issues with the cutter bearings going out, of course we cut a lot of hay with it. Looks like yours is doing a great job, certainly much easier curing with the conditioners rubber rollers and slicker cut than a sickle mower, used those too. Thanks for sharing.

[@beverleyspugsandhomestead.]

Glad you’re having a better time with this mower about time 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻

[@jamesdmagness]

If I was a cow I'd be in "hay" heaven brother! So glad this first cutting with the new haybine worked so well for y'all. Can't wait to see that gehl round baler getting after that yield. Thanks for producing quality content for us. Country View Acres, Just a Few Acres Farm and good ole Farmer Tyler Ranch... Y'all are all rocking with your content. So thank you.

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

Im so,,,so ,, happy for you!!! I hope bailing goes as good as the cutting. You make great videos.

[@tollietime]

Nice work guys, may your grass grow tall and you mower blades be sharp!

[@kellyjoyce2399]

I'm liking what you've done with this haybine, great job. You explain yourself well, I can comprehend and learn from you.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thank you

[@richardsmith9872]

looking good, it seems to be running fine nice piece of equipment.

[@LFfire1597]

Sickle bar mower to be moved as a backup piece of equipment? Glad to see that you didn’t have any problems cutting this year

[@ericroot5043]

Happy for ya Evan. I know what it's like to have to work on equipment every time you use it. Just cross your fingers and get at it. Best of luck in the future for ya buddy. -Eric

[@DiddlyPenguin]

That worked really well. U obviously fixed it well. 😁

[@andrewwilson6085]

Not seen a conditioner mower in uk since the 70s ! They work well, prone to expensive gear trouble in heavy crops, or if stones get caught up

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Oh man I’ve been waiting for this video I knew you would love that haybine! Glad it worked so well for you and looking forward to seeing you bale!

[@Pinziee]

You did a nice job with that sikkelmower. You need to push back those trees and brushes.... Greetings from Houthalen-Belgium

[@allanlavallee7171]

I have cut hay with sickle mowers for fifty some years and they cut great when set up properly. From watching your previous video it appeared you installed swather guards which have no ledger plates and require a reel pushing the hay in to cut properly.

[@bohhica1]

Awesome job and video,doing great,keep it up!

[@knolltop314]

CONGRATS!

[@arlodewald5378]

I grew up with sickle bar mowers . One was solid two point mount , the other was a trail pull type . Both word very well . A very sharp sickle , changed every three hours or sooner . Sharpen them every morning on three foot round wet stone driven by a quarter horse electric motor with old paint can with a nail driven center of the can so water would keep the stone wet . Sure wish still had it . Also did get job of sharpening knife as well .

[@jaredshoemaker9196]

Love the DIY stuff. Very satisfying watching the hay being cut.Take care, be safe, and have fun regardless.

[@daleh645]

Just had to say, HAY! 👋🏼 🤣 Stay safe. 🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@stevenbradford6824]

Another great video looks good

[@fredspindor1624]

Its called cutting the back friar The reel pulling the hay off sickle helps so much, your going t have to extend your hay skirts/fenders behind the crimper "the one on the left will come straight out may a little to the center the one one the right a little to center to make a windrow" the crimper should be wet in green hay the crimper mashes the juice out so the hay dries quicker on mature hay it crushes the stims better hay!! If your ground speed is to fast the stuble will lean you are pushing the hay down before you cut it off I preferer a Swather but if you go for speed get a disk cutter

[@Flowing23]

Well done, wow - huge difference with the haybine over the sickle bar more. Crop looks good.

[@kingkong7617]

Evan, I am glad the hay cutter worked so well for you as the old sickle bar mower was a nightmare. The fields look good and you should get several rolls of hay and I think the hay bailer will work well also, as you have it in good working order.

[@jimbucher1049]

Looks Good...Great Job.....Hope Baler goes well, Too !!
