    1850 Gas Opinion

    Actually we started out thinking stack wagon. However that doesn't do much for loading the stuff out. It does appear that with luck an accumulator rig could be pieced together from the used market for about the same money as a stack wagon. And we could in a good year go over 1000 bales to sell...

    1850 Gas Opinion

    We had our MH50 gas for 5 years outside of Duluth, MN. Ran 5W-30 in the winter and she always started. Never once had to use ether.

    1850 Gas Opinion

    First off, let me thank everyone for their opinions. We are considering putting up about twice as much hay as we have been, and selling the additional stuff. We consists of the wife and myself. No kids, no nearby ambitious 17 year olds. 1,000+ bales a season already sort of whips our 60+ yr old...

    MH-50 clutch issue

    This message is a reply to an archived post by Bob Newman on April 04, 2013 at 09:50:57. The original subject was "MH50 clutch issue". FWIW, we had clutch disengagement problems with our MHF50 once upon a time. One of the pivot stud deals on one of three release levers had broken off. Clutch...

    1850 Gas Opinion

    The other choice I was considering was an Allis 190XT. Most of those seem to be turbo diesels which make me wonder how well all that holds up over time. True, we are thinking more size and weight than sustained hp, but an unblown gas engine would seem to be simpler and cheaper. For as few hours...

    1850 Gas Opinion

    Am thinking about a 1850 gas wide front with a loader for handling small bales with a grab. What are things to look for on a gas 1850? Would get used about 80 hours a year for bale handling and maybe that much more for snow plowing and manure compost handling. Do their front ends hold up in...

    What is the difference in a 24T from a14T JD Baler

    24 T is built better per other replies. But a 14T can put up a lot of hay if you give it a chance. I had one that appeared to have been used for artillery practice, then donated to a welding school. Put up several thousand bales of grass hay with it, mostly without really understanding what I...

    conditioners

    We used a JD 31 conditioner for many years. Helped get the hay dry the day or so sooner that people claim. The SOB would also plug if the hay was at all wilted. Since we mowed with a JD 9W and had only one tractor, we lived with it. The day came we fertilized the hay and then it couldn't handle...

    what type of haybine should I look for??

    I bought an abused Hesston 1130 and got it running. 9 foot cut and does a good job. The Agco dealer nearby has gotten what parts I needed within a couple days. Shoup has sickle bar parts pretty reasonably priced. I suppose I have about 2300 in it, should have paid the guy I bought it from about...

    Loader Question MH50

    I wound up with a Massey 99 loader that I want to put on our gas MH50. It was on a MF65. There is no pump mount with it, and I want to put a gear pump on the front of the tractor driven off the crank pulley. What"s the best way to do this? Were there factory parts to do it and are they still...

    NH 67 vs. JD 24t

    I agree about banana bales. Since Deere has that folding bar that moves hay into the bale chamber their bales tend to come out neater than with NH. Started with a 14T, went to a NH 66 and then 68, now with a JD 336. You can make straight bales with a NH but those tucker fingers better be...

    Power shift question

    Kinda thought so. Being a Massey person I am somewhat stumped by the Deere model numbers. I use a MF175 diesel to pull a 336 baler with an ejector and a kicker wagon behind that. Works fine, but it would be nice to be able to easily shift on the go when the windrows change size, etc. As far...

    Power shift question

    Did Deere ever build about a 60 or 70 hp 2WD tractor with powershift? How well did they hold up compared to a conventional transmission?

    Powershift Advice

    Did Massey ever build anything the size of a MF 175 with a powershift transmission? How did they hold up?

    Equipment for small hay-making operation

    We have 20 acres of hay and the wife has 5 horses and 2 ponies. As a retiree with heart issues I do note the following: Smaller bales are easier to handle than bigger bales. A MF 175 can haul a redone Hesston 1130 mower conditioner in good order, and handle a Deere 336 with a bale ejector and a...
