Default Finished up today...

The neighbor who rents our tillable land cut third crop alfalfa today. Well, technically, he/they contract the harvesting. More and more bigger farms around these parts are doing this now days.
All the rain and heat we've been having seem to be helping.
I think of my grandfather, and what he would think of the way harvesting is done now days. They'd never believe it without seeing it.

Thanks for sharing that Todd. That is some serious hay mowing. Takes me back to my hay hauling days with my uncle and grand dad. I hated the alfalfa, it was so heavy and the truck was so high.

Cool pics Todd! I thought we was in high cotton when dad pulled the IH 990 haybine with the D17. Looks like technology has come a long way.

Yup. Big money in equipment these days. Had a neighbor that had one of the Krohn Big M mowers for a while.

Went back the tractor mounted fore and aft mower set up. More versatile than a dedicated machine to make payments on and store all winter.

Seems like you could make a 4' ? Link mower like that for knee high grass, brush, or cut hay , to fit on the 3pt of a cub cadet powered by a 10hp I have not seen one if they do.

We had a windrower with a crimper. The crimper would crack open the stalks of the hay and make it dry quicker. Was interesting to run stuff thru it.
Dad did custom wind rowing and I was the operator for years. I really liked running it.

I'd run a rabbit or 3 through my mowditioner several times a season.
made them flat with a crimp mark or two on their bodies.
I wouldn't see it till I was baling & stacking sometimes.
Always thought I missed a marketing opportunity for sun dried rabbit jerky/
chew toys for dogs?

LOL!
Something that always amazed me is how deer think they are hidden or they just aren't scared of farm machinery . More than once I had to get off the machine and physically move a young one out of the way of the windrower.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
