Mowing hay. Finally!!

[@williamwimer2007]

Yes. And the older 40 and 55 series were of great tractors too. A 1977 2640 and a 1986 2555 are still doing all I need on farms just like they were new. Made of metal and not plastic. Solid built for years of service

[@19Dad84bod]

something about these videos are very satisfying to watch.... keep up the videos.... cheers from Canada!

[@hairymanonetwo]

Starting with a smooth hay field helps ! Ive cut hay at 20 miles per hour using the same haybine. No issues except making the turns !

[@carolinafarmweld5981]

Some good looking stuff, we cut about 22 acres yesterday

[@banditfarmer1900]

You guys sure aint messing around cutting hay ! My cousin just got a 3 year old New Holland 14' hydra swing disk bine that's like new, I cant wait to see it in the field the first time running. I hope you guys don't get any rain in the next week till you get it all baled ! Keep up the great work. Bandit

[@Farmerjon9660]

All baled and moved. Gonna rain the next few days the way it looks

[@banditfarmer1900]

Man you got lucky ! That much hay down and didn't get rained on, You better go buy a Lotto ticket ! LOL Bandit

[@brandonwood1397]

I really like those series deeres

[@JamesTyreeII]

6410?tractor?

[@Cherryfarmboy60]

Faster!!! Speed is key to those machines. Nice video!

[@Farmerjon9660]

Try running on the ground we have at high speeds. Too rough

[@cameronnalley3197]

Farmerjon9660 ours too. I live in Kentucky too. I guess it's just Kentucky ground! Lol

[@hairymanonetwo]

@@Farmerjon9660 Well.....try having a smooth hay field.......then you could travel as fast as you wish... 20 mile per hour.... no problem !! Just have to slow down to turn..thats the biggest issue.

[@mfults6915]

Not running that fast here on hills lol

[@Brknbns1]

Almost to 3,000 subscribers,congrats!!!!

[@Farmerjon9660]

Thanks

[@rmack48]

When I watched my father cut hay he always squared of his corners so he wouldn't have to make that last swath to get the hay he would miss by rounding the corners. Now to hope that it doesn't rain.

[@Farmerjon9660]

We just turn and burn.

[@thesquad4155]

Hey Farmer Jon we farm 6,000 acres but we rent most of it we have on pull behind swathers

[@agroro9378]

Hello from Romania , Jon!

[@Farmerjon9660]

Dang!!!

[@powerram92]

How far off the ground do you cut?

[@hicktown21713]

Your cutting hay and here in Maryland where I'm at we have had a total of 4 days without any rain. Guys are behind on everything. Very few have gotten any silage in, let alone doing any major tillage or planting. Enjoy all the vids .

[@Farmerjon9660]

We are behind here too

[@DesertDigger1]

Will you be buying a new Krone bailer?

[@iveyfarms2524]

What type of hay is that

[@georgiaswampman4542]

What kind of grass is that? We grow Alicia Bermudagrass down here in south GA.

[@Farmerjon9660]

First part of video is orchard grass/fescue/clover mix. The last of the vid is wheat and alfalfa

[@iveyfarms2524]

What type of hay are you mowing in the second part of the video?

[@Farmerjon9660]

Wheat

[@pa.heifergrower67]

No rocks in that Kentucky limestone ? Nice big fields .

[@Farmerjon9660]

Hay ground not so much. Crop ground has its fair share of rocks

[@Philschmid6453]

that wheat underseeded with alfalfa?

[@Farmerjon9660]

Yep. But the second crop of alfalfa looks damn good

[@TheZwerfer14]

How many hectare is 1 acre?

[@jimmy123272]

1 hectare is about 2.4 acres, or 1 acre is about .4 hectare

[@claytonburch8681]

2.3

[@petermccormack7135]

1 hectare = 2.47105

[@billwhitman1529]

Is 3 days enough. Better have the humidity to dry it out! By now you probably know.

[@Farmerjon9660]

With warm sunshine and wind/breeze is perfect curing weather for hay here

[@deanmeyer1815]

cut many an acre of alfalfa for haylage with a Hesston 1010 hydroswing and a 4230 deere open station

[@kennethadams4324]

Cant beat my (M) pt 7 And NH. Mod 66. have a good winter....

[@kentuckyfarmer1129]

You probably won't cut them field again being there wheat there

[@Farmerjon9660]

No grass will grow back up

[@lesimulateurfleurytal]

what is the reaper

[@thesquad4155]

Then another one that is a massy Ferguson

[@tjb4030]

[@Farmerjon9660]

More than likely if i see it.

[@saladdressing2781]

[@thecowboyman2803]

FARMER JON

[@jeremyfreeman6108]

[@Northern_Farmer]

[@johnnysharpe9131]

[@Northern_Farmer]

I asked you why?... hes doing it the same way you do!

[@johnnysharpe9131]

+oilerman9406 don't think he's trying to impress you or me , just trying to get done in a hurry .

[@johnnysharpe9131]

+oilerman9406 and my comment was for the one saying he needed lessons .

[@powerram92]

How far off the ground do you cut?

[@Farmerjon9660]
