Glad you enjoy the videos and photos.

Yes, at this point we use a different tractor for each stage of harvesting the hay.

Here's the history over the last 4 years.

We originally used "Old John" Nancy's 48A to cut the grass with a JD #5 sickle mower.

Switched over to "Easy" our 46A and #5 sickle mower.

Next cutting the grass was too thick; #5 mower would not cut the grass and 46A quit running.

Use "Big John" our 55 70 diesel and JD 350 sickle mower as the "backup" tractor/mower.

To relieve "Big John" from both cutting and baling, bought "Vernon" 56 70 gas with power steering for the mowing tractor.

"Vernon" is the mowing tractor.

Originally used "52" our 52A as the raking tractor.

"52" had transmission issues so we used several tractors just for fun.

"15" got some raking duty.

"Vernon" got some raking duty.

"Old John" got some raking duty.

"Uncle Earl" got some raking duty.

"Sam" is the raking tractor.

Originally we used "Big John" as the baling tractor with the KRONE 260 baler on the Coastal/Cheyenne hay field.

third party image

"Big John" is now the baling tractor with the KRONE 260 baler on the Bahia grass hay fields.

third party image

We use "15" as the baling tractor with the KRONE 125 baler on the Coastal/Cheyenne hay field.

At this point every tractor is doing what it does best, at least we think so.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T ... [Read Article]
