side mount sickle mowers are hard to mount so they usually stayed on the tractor all summer. a rear mount is easier to take on and off the john deere no. 8s were popular in their day. for grass a sickle mower would be ok . but with alfalfa and clover you would be better off with something to condition for faster drying. i have run new holland for 45 years. mostly the 9 foot 479 489 492 and 1465. the hesston pt 10s were quite popular but they had some sickle issues as mentioned below the IH 990 was good the IH 1190 broke springs before buying IH i would check on parts availability. one thing to consider is tractor weight you need a heavy tractor on hilly ground with a haybine they can push you around. we always used the 806 or the 856 to cut with because they were the only tractors with wide fronts. i have used an oliver 77 ans a farmall M but they were dicey on hilly ground. an IH 574 with fluid would be the minimum i would use around here.as for the case on a haybine i would recommend a big 400 or a 730.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
