Well good morning I see you cutting hay this morning that brings some good memories back when I was coming up on my grandpa's farm him had any big old international tractors had towels goats chickens Hogs and everything else and that's why I watch your shows for it brings good memories back to me when I watching you feed your cows and do that phone work man you don't know how much that make my day when I watch one of your shows keep doing good work and I will keep on watching you and this is Alton Hamilton from Mississippi
Thanks for watching!! I’m glad it brings back so many happy memories. Farm life really is the best life!
thank you for taking us along luvriding a tractor in thefield
Some of that grass was really heavy!
The joy of hay season! I remember many of 2000 plus bails in a day going into the barn! Hot out.. while all the other kids went swimming and the the lakes up north. We had hay!
I always know what the weather will be on hay making days-HOT
@@rosstheoliverman we made hay on everyday, even Sunday
Looks like the haybine was cutting very well. A few years ago I helped a custom hay baler. I operated one of his Heston self propelled swathers. It was a rotary cutter. Most of the fields I did were 120 acre pivots. I could cut it all in about 7 hours. Swather would run 14.5 mph. Swather had AC, AMFM stero and business band 2 way radio. Enjoyed helping him. I did so 2 seasons. Good friend now. In fact one of my grandsons works for him in a trailer repair shop as a beginner welder. 👍👍
That sounds like a great machine! I almost bought a discbine last year but as little as I cut hay I figured I’d just stick with this.
@@rosstheoliverman if you find one for a good price, I’d take it personally. We cover around 100 acres first cut and it makes things so much more productive without sacrificing job quality. A little used 6 footer behind one of the 16s would make a good match and leave a little growth potential if you were to pick up more ground since you could pull it faster
That Heston was doing a nice job, as was the Oliver. Seems like a good combination. Thanks for taking us along.
It does a great job for a sickle machine. Thanks!!!
@@rosstheoliverman Last year I had to replace one of those $400 sickle bars in my Massey Ferguson haybine. Inadvertently cut a deer antler in half. Snapped the sickle bar in half.😡😡
@@pagrainfarmer it’s ridiculous that they’re that expensive.
Finally!! A farmer who knows to cut the back swath first! A rarity on TH-cam.
Grandpa never did it that way but I like to. I like get that out of the way first and then it’s all nice full swaths from then on.
@@rosstheoliverman Me to.
I like to cut the back swath second. It is much easier to judge distance from fences and trees and ditches if you have the tractor next to obstacles.
Those "$400 sickles" among other things, really make me question try to keep running a haybine instead of buying a discbine. These wear parts are starting to get outlandish, and in my sandy ground I get around 100 acres out of a knife before the sections get thin and start breaking, and 300-400 acres out of a set of guards and hold downs before the start getting dull and cutting ragged.
Hi Ross always love your videos can't wait for the next one.I just wanted to say that looks like one of the longest fields I've ever seen, must be close to a mile.
Thanks Wayne!!! It’s not quite that long, TH-cam adds 10 pounds 🤣
Good video. Those were and are great mower conditioners. We have the 7ft 1110 model and use it occasionally. This year we ran it on our Farmall 350 and was a good match.
Thanks! I really like the 1120. It’s simple and does a great job.
We had the same mower.
Whats funny is , dad mounted a ammo box for tools as well!
Hard year for hay in NW Vermont.
Rains every other day.
Ground is very wet.
The ammo box works great for carrying tools/parts! Hopefully it’ll cooperate soon and you can get some hay done!
mower doing a good job, good thing you put on new bar, looks like it might be cutting hard. Big fan of your tunes. you ever get over to Beanblossem back in the good old days.
I definitely noticed the difference with the new sickle. You can hear the wobble box going clickety-clack while it’s cutting, and with the new sickle it’s almost silent. I could always tell with the other one when it was about to plug up because you could hear the pattern of the clickety-clack slowing down.
Look dry there hopefully you'll get it bailed, the some rain stay safe . Big earl from turkey creek farms canton il
Thanks Earl!
If I can find that music will my Heston mower cut hay that fast? 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Ross I'm here to tell you your rig does a much better job than my neighbors self propelled discbine. In thin grass it leaves 20%. That's terrible for a very expensive machine!
I think part of it is probably people driving too fast. Certain conditions you can’t go in road gear no matter how expensive the machine. This one does a great job for a sickle machine
I probably have that sickle bar. sitting on the shelf. I would have made you a heck of a deal on it too.
If you do let me know. I wouldn’t mind having a spare.
@@rosstheoliverman Got a part number handy? I'll do some digging
@@ThatOliverGuyChris it’s 700711767
Great video!’ What gear was you cutting in? 1650 sure handle it with ease. Thanks for sharing.
3rd gear! I could cut in 4th but there were a few spots it got much thicker so 3rd worked best.
I have the same mower and they are the simplest thing to work on ,they pull easy ,and will mow any thing with ease. I've had it for Years. Mine has stub guards and boy can it mow. No wobble box to go bad. Same as IH 8330 ?
Mine has stub guards also. Yes it is the same as a Case IH because AGCO and IH have some part ownership in Hesston and so they both get hay tools just labeled differently
Love it! I ran haybine behind my Fordson Diesel Major, the only problem with that tractor is it does not have enough front end to handle long or offset implements. Even with weights. Wheel base is too short. I would love a diesel 1650 or 1655 for making hay. I don't really have a problem with gas tractors, my problem is if you buy gas in the spring, it's good for 3 months before it is breaking down causing issues. I've been making the switch to diesel because it stores better.
Thanks! If you get three months out of gas you’re doing good. I don’t think our gas last much over a few weeks. If it does you lose most of it to the air. The diesel fuel does stay around, but if it sits too long it turns into a solid. I’ve cleaned out stuff that was like glue that used to be diesel fuel. I wish they would give us good fuel like used to.
@@rosstheoliverman diesel I can treat with anti-algea and trust it to be good for 6months.
@@rosstheoliverman I have been using my 770 gasser as a mobile bulk fuel container. I drain the tank into the lawn mower and other equipment so the gas never sits in it for more than a couple weeks. When it gets low from using it I drive up to our local station to fill it up. A tank of gas in it lasts about 2wks.
@@BillTheTractorMan I’ve used some of the Lucas products before but here lately I try not to keep too much on hand when it’s $6 dollars a gallon
I help my cousins make hay and I’d give my right nut for a 2 post 1655 or 2-70, but unfortunately the only equipment it’d be large enough for would be the rake and we’d need closed center hydraulics for that🙄
Wondering how you like your Heston 1120 haybine looking at buying one
Mine has the stub guards and I love it. As long as everything is set right it works great
Curious, what sort of internet connection do you have? We're rural also and uploading 30 minute videos is something I should have started yesterday.
I live in rural central Minnesota. Takes about 6-8hrs for me to upload a 12minute video. For about 5yrs they keep promising better internet and it seems like manure now. Making videos turned into a hassle and that was one factor.
I have cellular internet. My iPad is connected to my unlimited cell plan and I upload directly off of there. Sometimes it takes longer than others. Lately I’ve been uploading and set them to private until I’m ready to release the videos so I’m not delayed by waiting to upload. I have 3 videos ahead most times.
@@rosstheoliverman Thanks Ross, keep 'em coming!
@@TheCoopdway thanks Doug I will!
I’m surprised you aren’t running a Oliver mower.
I wish I could find an Oliver haybine close by. I have several Oliver sickle mowers but I’m not going back to that. Haybine works so much better. At least Hesston is in the AGCO family
@@rosstheoliverman we still run a sickle mower behind our 1950 or 1850 Oliver to mow hay
@@loganbeedy5950 what model mower??
@@rosstheoliverman it’s a rowse D9 so it’s 2 9 foot sickle bars hooked together, and we have a 315 Oliver mower but that only gets used behind our 1465
Sometimes I carried away with a comment relating to what I have don in my 82 years. You may be surprised.
I enjoyed reading that comment actually. A lot of us like stories like that
@@nellsonstout7001 thank you. Ross is one of my favorite channels.
Thanks Tom! I like hearing your stories!!
Run farm dog run! Run away from all the war crimes you committed in Yugoslavia!
I sometimes wonder what he gets into when I’m not around 🤣
Hey just wondering if you ever got the 1655 back together
Not yet
