I swathed about an acre of oats for hay today with the old Hesston prototype windrower I picked up a while back. This machine was made in the late '60's and is a model that never went into production - as far as people know only two were ever built then the project was cancelled. It's got a few oil leaks on the hydros to fix and the steering linkage needs some work but green stuff was going in the front and out the back so I can't complain. The ground was loose and damp which required carrying the header a bit to prevent mud buildup under the sicklebar. This made it leave sort of a raggy cutoff but oh well, I just doing this for the fun of it.
