Neat looking Gehl hay head in action....

This sure is an interesting contraption & I'm glad to finally have it running. Didn't really take much. Just some grease & oil. Then had to figure out how to cobble together the pieces that drive the head from the feeder chain. And those are gen-U-ine farmer made parts! None of that factory made nonsense here!!

There's a test run planned out in a few days, so we'll see how those parts hold up.

Enjoy!

Interesting ! Im guessing the reason it can be run in reverse is in case it gets plugged up ?

What are you talking about? Everything there looks factory to me. We used to have one just like that. As far as the tines not turning backwards, they don't have to. You don't need to dump everything on the ground and pull it back under the machine, you just have to back it out of the feed rolls.
 
As Randy said, thats all factory stuff. We had that same chopper & head for many years on our Wisconsin dairy farm. While it may look primitive that head is very effective. The assisting fingers were a substantial upgrade over just the steel wheel. An 83 was a very impressive chopper. Still is for being 60 years old.

we had one sitting in the main plant. i think it was there and had been there forever due to a lawsuit if i recall.
