Years ago a neighbor had one, and he wanted to put up hay with us on shares, contributing his jeep and his labor for his part. His jeep had the pto on it. We cut with a sickle bar, and used a NH 404 hay crimper to help dry the hay. He thought that he could run the crimper with his jeep. Problems were that the Jeep was too low, hay kept wrapping around the PTO shaft. He had poor visibility while driving it around, and it was was hard to see out the back with the tailgate in place.
