We still have a 467 haybine in the barn and it has less shields and doors and way more grease fittings. Somewhere around 25 to 30. Yours must be several years newer.
What we do is cut the reverse(outside) round after a few normal rounds. Makes it easier to gauge where to drive since your tractor wheel mark shows where the field edge is, and you can use the "second" round for guidance. Little idea for you!
Always cut the outside round last, that way if you hit something and tear something up the majority of the field is cut and you can get the hay up that you’ve cut .
@@possumholler05 Yeah that's what I always do... if you're gonna hit anything, it'll be more than likely on the outside round, so I start with the tractor next to the fence, cut the whole field, then take the outside round last. Later! OL J R :)
@@boehmfarm4276 Well, that mower/tractor combination makes REALLY nice corners... for the rest of, particularly with 3 point mounted disk/drum mowers cutting at 6 mph (or more depending on how smooth the ground is) we usually have to go back and make a zip out from the center strip to the corners and back anyway... then make the last strip, do the corner opposite the gate, then back to the center and out to the corner at the gate, then do the last round... works like a champ.

A disk bine has crop lifters on the turtle's. They spin so fast it will create a vacuum and lift the crop, even going in the same direction as the down crop.
@@nalley6815 Are you dragging your cutter bar through rock piles or just have something not adjusted correctly? Been using disc bines longer than you have been alive and I have yet to even begin to wear out a cutter bar lol
@@farmcentralohio new Holland discbine bars have crop lifters that together weigh roughly 5 pounds. Imagine that when you hit a hit or something. Imagine how much impact and shock goes throughout the cutterbar when that happens. Go watch onelonelyfarmer’s video on them. He explains it better
Used to run one of those. Hated that damn thing. You have much better luck with yours. We pulled it with a 1466 Black Stripe (Long live the Black Stripe!) and we had to fix something on it all the time. Had one of the bar type balers too. That thing wasn't worth a crap either. Was so glad when the boss bought a Deere baler and a discbine...
It's all in maintenance. I keep the guard clearance tight, sharp knives in it and grease it. If I didn't do any of those things, it could be a real pain to mow with.
@@possumholler05 You know I never thought of that ... But no we throttled back cause that was the smallest tractor on the farm. Hay equipment has come a long way since 1978...
@@possumholler05 Yeah, I've found overpowering hay equipment is NEVER good... Had the same problem with the old Ford 501 mower... we ran that thing for 50 years behind the Ford Jubilee and never had a problem-- retired that old girl and started pulling it behind a 6600 Ford, and always busting something or having a problem.

@@boehmfarm4276 Exactly... that's true of EVERYTHING. A lot of people are too lazy to maintain or adjust their machinery, though. "Lease it, don't grease it" LOL:) Takes all kinds LOL:) OL J R :)
The yellow guide bar on my 472 is more bent than yours. Very tricky driving the haybine against obstacles like fences and power poles. It always looks like you have plenty of clearance . I hate backing up, but once or twice a season I have to. I learned early on to shut down the PTO and raise the head before hitting reverse.
@@boehmfarm4276 Have you changed your power steering pump internal filter?? Could be lack of flow or air bubbles... Otherwise probably the hydraulic assist valve fluttering-- maybe too much play in the steering mechanism (which moves the valve to send oil to the cylinders) causing the flutter... Is there an adjuster, setscrew and locknut on the housing anywhere?? Sometimes there's some mechanism to snug up the backlash and take extra play out of the steering gear. Might be worth a check. Later! OL J R :)
@@boehmfarm4276 Yeah they say that hay cut later in the afternoon has higher Brix (sugar content) because the plants have been photosynthesizing sugar all day and storing it, part of which will be used overnight for the plant's normal metabolism. So the lowest sugar content of the day is early in the morning right when the sun comes up. Course NOW I've heard some nutcase horse people wanting "low sugar" hay because they overfeed their horses and they get fat and start having blood sugar problems... Lord help you if you get THAT type of customer! LOL:) OL J R :)
yeah looked like yellow nutsedge, but not quite... Yellow nutsedge has a triangular stem and is very waxy, with a yellow sprangled panicle like that... Someone said it was some sort of bulrush, that could be. Either way not good, but not much of it so he can be thankful for that. D@mn sedges are nearly impossible to kill too! Later! OL J R :)
Hello cutting the same around here it's real thick but dont know why but I have to go slow my John Deere 1219 seems to build up cut hay bunching up then a big clump passes throw the rollers. Do you know why? Have a great day.

blew the guts out of one of the front wheel drive hubs, so it's parked waiting for a bunch of parts and repairs... Why you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS double-check and regularly CHANGE the gear oil in those FWA hubs and differential... otherwise they get real expensive real quick. Also he was doing heavy work with a full set of front end weights and no rear weights, and no fluid in the rear tires... NOT GOOD... throws too much load on the front end because of too much slippage on the rear end. That and what looked like low oil in the hub= hand grenade. Later! OL J R :)
No offence intended, but your mower is way too complicated. Disc mowers will cut wet or dry grass, obstacles like rocks do little damage. More horse power is needed to drive them, but you can travel a lot faster. High second in your tractor would the gear you would use all day, a dual power gear box gives you more options.
These little ford's roll. High 2 has some speed, like a little too much for field turns. I only have issues with short, thick hay, like mowing an overgrown lawn and wet second cut. This mower has found it's share of surprises. It helps that it has the stub guards.
Yeah I almost never cut less than 6 mph, which is 6th gear 1900 RPM on a Ford 5610S... handles it like a dream. I use a 7'-2" cut Zweegers CM 212 drum mower, but I've also run a 5610S for a friend with a 9 foot Kuhn 3 point disk mower, and again, ran at 6 mph all day long without any problems... only time I cut slower I run at 5 mph in super-thick short bahia, which is REALLY hard to cut and can overload the drive belts (bahia dulls blades fast too-- I HATE the stuff because it's not very palatable, doesn't yield that much, and even when cut and put up in prime condition STILL is about the last thing the cows want to eat...) That's a rare occurrence however. I can cut 8 foot tall haygrazer or waist deep dallisgrass almost too thick to walk through at 6 mph all day long. Later! OL J R :)
You have skills. Nice job with the mower. Love to see the older equipment in the field.
Super wee video. Love that ford noise. 👌👍 And if it works why change it🤔. That is our farms saying any way 😁. Stay safe 🏴

If I am not mistaken that wet weather grass is a type of bulrus.
I don't miss the days of the bunchbine. Discbine all the way.
A disk bine has crop lifters on the turtle's. They spin so fast it will create a vacuum and lift the crop, even going in the same direction as the down crop.
They also wear out a cutterbar way faster

That grass at 16:30 looks like common rush. Also, your power steering ram looks to be vibrating furiously at 15:30. Worn ball joint maybe?
No, something hydraulic in the power steering feeling a little Michael J Fox.

Most of my hay looks like that- been too wet to mow.
Advice from the future, get all the hay done . It starts raining again.

Early today. And yes the grease gun is always empty.
What electric grease gun is that? I can tell its a Milwaukee. Are they any good, I've always had bad luck with electric ones in general
I think it's great. Beats hand pumping.
What kind of grease you using?

Did you get rid of the 2+2? Havint seen or heard anything just woundered. Hope all is well stay safe God bless
It's still in the garage.
@@boehmfarm4276 ahhhh ok thank you for replying to me
Do you mow later in the afternoon/evening in order to make better hay for your horse customers?
No, just after the rain that day, or in general after all the animal care and picking sweet corn. So it tends to not be early.
