My grandpa did everything with his massey 245. I remember fondly the smell of the diesel exhaust in the hay field in the heat of summer. I now have a newer massey for my small homestead and hope I can give my kids some good memories with the massey.
That’s awesome, these comments make my day! Thanks for watching
Love the sound of the sickle more
Me too!
Good Morning Sir, the old Massey tractor is working hard and the cutting too 💪💪👍👍😇😇 Man you hay is sooo grown up 😮😮I'm not near ready to cut my grass yet 😉👍OUTSTANDING driver that you are Sir Cheers 🍻🍻
Yeah I’ll cut hay just as soon as we get some clear days. Thanks for watching
Ben the Massy and the Sickle make a great team, there’s just something about that chatter that I like to hear, it reminds me of my father in law , thank you again for the videos, I really do enjoy them
This combination is therapy for me. Brings back so many childhood memories. Thanks for watching.
brings back memories of summer days in the hay field with old friends.❤
I thought u were gonna say mother in-law with the constant chatter 😂😂😂
The property sure looked better when you finished. Uncle Ray would have loved this video. He spent many hours doing the same thing with the Massey and a sickle bar.
Thanks Dad!
Enjoy watch how easily You get around with that little tractor to get the job done.
Thank you!
Good video Ben. I always enjoy them. That Massey always gets the job done.
Thanks 👍
Those old sickle mowers are real handy for that type of work and use. I had one back in the 90's that I used for haying but it was not in the best of shape. So I sold it and went to a JD 1209 haybine, I sure could us a sickle mower these days, for ditches and pond banks. Thanks, I hope you have a nice day.
Yeah they are handy to have around. Thanks for watching
A sickle mower sure is handy for reaching hard to mow areas. Good job Ben!
It’s saves on weedeating! Thanks for watching
That sickle mower brings me back to my childhood with my dad and grandpa mowing with two 8N Fords. I loved it. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
That sickle bar mower would come in handy for ditch lines and whatever else you need to mow. How big of a tree will that thing take down? 2"? The one I used years ago wouldn't cut grass it need some work, the guys used it for the brush mower and let it go. The camera angle was pretty good it reminded me of the simulator my boys played!
I don’t try cutting anything very big with it because it’s hard on them. I stick with grass and weeds only. Still mow hay with this one on occasions. Thanks for watching
Love the sound of that sickle mower I have fond memories of mowing with one at my grandpa house
I think they bring back some good memories for a lot of people. I’m one of those. Thank you
That old Perkins diesel still purrs like a new one, love hearing and seeing it in action! Thanks
It’s definitely my favorite tractor! Thanks for watching
Listening to that sickle bar chatter sure brings back a lot of memories,when i was just a kid helping my grandpa cut hay.He would also oil the bar with used tractor motor oil.Another great video, enjoyed it very much.Will be moving to Corbin,Ky first week of June.Take care and have a blessed day.🚜🚜👍❤️🙏
That’s awesome! I had been wondering if you ever found a place. Thanks for watching
Waiting for the rebuild of my JD 350 rescue
I’ve probably told you but I had a JD350 for a few years. Thanks for watching
Love hearing that Perkins purr!
Me too!! Thank you!
Ben, the 245 sure makes look easy, and fast, awesome job, God Bless
Thanks so much!
Hello, I like what you do, I'm from Uruguay, South America, a hug.
Thank you very much!
Great video buddy 👍
Thanks 👍
I like the sickle mower I use one to cut hay and trim my pond off with I live in Kentucky and the ground I cut for hay isn't the flattest ground and sickle mower cuts a better finish than a disc mower not nearly as quick but it does a good job I use a 501 ford
I had a 501 ford in the past. Thanks for watching
Sorry about that I was busy when I got home and then I had to mow the yard ok
I just posted the video a few minutes ago. Thanks for watching
@@khtractors what time do you go to bed ok
@@codymccauly349 usually around 10:00.
@@khtractors all right I'll talk to you later ok
@@khtractors do you have school tomorrow oh ok
.
we need some bush hog work done at our place if it ever quits raining 🌧. our ole massey 65 gets it done. still love your 246, one of my favorite tractors. howdy from your Russell County neighbor.
Yeah I’ll be bush hogging some this coming week if the weather allows. Thanks for watching and be safe!
Nice job! Sickle mowers are pretty awesome
This one is about worn out but still mows pretty good. Thanks
Really nice video. A sickle bar mower is a lot of fun to watch, except if it is my sickle bar mower. Not sure what MF model mine is, but it probably needs a complete rebuild. Parts up here are terrible expensive to rebuild anything. Nice match up with the 245.
Thanks so much!
Great video today God bless
Thank you kindly!
I was gonna say nice sharp turn with the diff until I seen the way it ripped up the lawn not a good idea
Ah it will hair back over. Thanks for watching
Nice. Video
Thanks so much!
That Massey is still running strong. A guy that I know has a Massey 35 that he is wanting to sale. He is asking 3,000 for it. Is that a good price
Depends on if it’s gas or diesel. If it’s diesel and metal work is still in good condition it’s probably an ok price. Thanks for watching
@@khtractors is a 3-cylinder gas. Perkins. The metal is in pretty good shape and the tires are in really good shape.
Is a sickle mower the same as a finger bar mower?.
I’ve never heard the term finger bar mower used so I’m not sure.
