    Nothing beats a good running 3000. That looks like a 9' haybine? Thats impressive. I have a 1966 3000 gas that I mow hay with a Massey 7' mower conditioner and bale with it too. One of the best tractors I ever owned.

    Thanks for sharing this Randy, enjoyed it. Use a 492 hooked to a NH 7840. Your haybine is very similar, gets the job done. Interesting to see someone going round and round the field, that's how I do it.

    We had the same NH Haybine - We pulled it with a Massey 165 which was a little bigger at 58 hp. It looks like your Ford 3000 handles the job very well. We did not have as level of ground and pulled it up and down some pretty good sized hills in East Central Ohio. It is nice to see the old school stuff still in the field working as good as ever. Thanks for the video! Enjoyed it.

      Glad you enjoyed watching! I imagine this haybine would really push the 3000 around if there were hills. Plenty of power for cutting though!

      We pull one with a ford 2000 with not problems. However some left on old fence post in the edge of a field. The haybine picked it up and jammed between the rollers. Real fun getting in out. All we had was a cole chisel that we sharpens and a hammer. Took a while.

    I spent much of my youth driving that same rig cutting hay in Boiling Springs South Carolina.
    I left the better part of my SPINE in those fields picking up those small bales of hay. Jim in Chile

      Ha! We felt like we were in high heaven when we got our Haybine. Before that, it was a 7’ Ford 3-point sickle bar mower on our Ford 2000 all summer. Then I pulled an 8’ conditioner, then swapped for a 3-point pto rake, both on our 4000. Those tasks were mine to do - start about 40 min before dew dried, greasing the equipment. As soon as dew was dried, I mapped out the day’s area (took about a week to do 40 acres) and mowed, then conditioned it. Then switched to the rake and did yesterday’s area. By the time I finished that, Dad had come home from work and started baling with the Allis-Chalmers WD-45 and small round baler. Eventually we got done and started hauling bales back to the barn. By that time, the first field was almost ready to cut again if the rains came.

    Man, this brings back a TON of memories. If my memory serves right, we pulled the haybine with either a Ford 4000 or IH 454. Thanks so much. Appreciate you taking the time to do this!

    We used a 3600 with a 7’ haybine and this 300 handles the 9’ better that our setup did. Interesting!

    Looks a lot like how we did it back in the 1970’s, although ours was a 4000. Your 3000 looks a lot like my current one, although your loader is more nearly matched to the tractor. Mine is way too heavy, and uses both remotes. And doesn’t come off at all easy. About a half hour for the mechanic who knew how to do it.

    Just curious. If you bush hogged around the field why not run your first round with the tractor running in the bush hogged part instead of running over the hay

    I have a 72 3000. Doesn’t have a loader but looking at the Westerndorf T-26. What diverter valve do you have on it? I need to put rear remotes on mine too.

    • @Randys_Relics
      @Randys_Relics  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's a rotary diverter valve from Summit Hydraulics. They are a good place for cheaper hydraulic components.

    looks like you are going to make lots of hay,are you going to square or round bale it ?

    • @Randys_Relics
      @Randys_Relics  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Small squares, I believe the whole field yielded 5-600 bales.

    Why drive anti-clockwise to open the field, drive clockwise and cut the back swarth afterwards... Otherwise it is motering well, doing it's job.

    Cool video but always do your backswath last along a tree line incase there's limbs or stuff that can hurt your mower that way if you hit something your not wasting time fixing it instead of haying in a 3 or 4 day hay window

    • @Randys_Relics
      @Randys_Relics  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Not bad advice! However, I bush hogged along the tree line of this field prior to starting the cut. So I knew there was nothing to hit. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
