Great Video, I worked for Mathews from 1974 to 1987 as a welder and we built 1000s of them. The chopper we built had a chute to blow Hay into your wagon. Similar, but not the same machine. Nice to see this old machine, brings back memories!!!! These things were built to last. The company mato was IRON HORSE QUALITY. Thanks for the video 👍

Was hoping to see the inside of that mower after all the work. It's amazing how old equipment cleans itself just from a bit of use.

They actually made something very similar for stalks for potatoes. We used it for cutting stalks up after the husker went through on corn.

We had one of those machines we used it as our hay mower those things were so hard to sharpen then always something broke we went back to the sickle bar mowers ours was a new idea

Is this the original idea of a disk mower conditioner but way back in the day? I’ve never seen anything like that, was honestly surprised how well it cuts
@frankdeegan897410 ай бұрын
These were made in all kinds of variations as Jacob said some had a spout for filling a wagon. They were built like this one with the cutter knives others had links of chains all of them were wicked . They worked very good on corn stalks after the ear corn was picked as the stalks were dry and would shatter.

Jacob, not being a farmer, there are things I don't understand. How come the machine pushes the grasses down horizontal before cutting it off?

Am not so sure about this rotary scythe. My guess is the rig that blows corn into a trailer is better.
