Mowed some hay this evening, 2nd cut of the year. More to do tomorrow.
MF50 diesel and MF32 sickle mower = very nice combo.
Mowed right up to dark. Sickle mower did great, even with the dew coming on as it grew dark. Probably could have kept going if the lights on the otherwise fine MF50 worked. Might be a winter project to get them going.
Note the mat coming off the drawbar area. Without out it, the stemmy stuff will wrap the PTO shaft pretty quick. Also my anti sun hat. Was on a business trip in Tuscon AZ and found a hat shop there. Told the guy I needed a hat to keep the sun off my ears and neck and he found a nice straw hat, very well vented on the sides. He custom fit the hat and brim and shipped it back to VA. I've used various straw hats and floppy cloth hats, but this western hat beats them all. Cool and comfortable.
Next up, finish mowing and ready the tedder.
