Jimmy"s right. Years ago I mowed many acres with a 9 ft. Haybine and an H... however, it had the gasoline head which gives it quite a bit more "oomph" than it"s distallate brethren. That said, it IS a handful for the little guy and you have no trouble detecting when the cutter bar plugs. You"ll feel a SLIGHT draft!

thanks for the replys I should have stated my plan for the H was for the baler only,the ford 515 is apparently based on the ford 4000 horse power?

Our 806 D went down the other year and we had to get some hay cut. I pulled a 9' Gehl haybine behind our W6. I could move along at only a slightly slower pace than my dad was making with the 966 and the New Holland even though the Gehl weighs more. The only problem was that our W6 doesn't have hydraulics, so to transport it to the next field, my dad had to come over and use the 966's hydraulics to lift it. I think it will handle it, but it will work unless you are planning on cutting swamp grass that hasn't been cut in 10 years or really late first cutting. third party image

I don't know about anyone else, but I might've made sure that the tractors could handle the equipment BEFORE I purchased it. Am I nuts here?

Maybe if it's all downhill, the H could handle a 9' haybine. In reality, a 7' machine is probably too much.

You won"t have "plenty of power", but you also said you had flat land and grass hay. I"ve cut a few acres of alfalfa on some rolling hills with the H before. It will get the job done for you with out too much trouble. I would highly recommend an over-running clutch, just in case you want to stop!!

I'm not sure about the Ford, but I doubt the H will work for the mower. It will take about all the power its got and maybe then a little, but even if you have the power I don't think the hydraulics will pick it up. NH haybines tend to take a fair amount of hydraulic pressure to lift.

You will have plenty of power with the H, but it will take a little practice learning you use it with out live PTO. When the baler starts to get behind you will have to bump the clutch long enought to release the shifter. I know nothing about the Ford.
