Old Allie layed down on me today

Was using the WD to rake hay this afternoon & the fan belt broke. Had to go home (about 5 miles) and get the 165 Massey to finish. That old WD's the best tractor I'ver used to rake with, power steering tricycle will turn on a dime. She'll be running again tomorrow as soon as I go get a new belt. Just finished my first cutting & darned glad of it. Now maybe I can get some of the chores I've been putting off done. As luck would have it none of it got rained on after it was cut. Keith

Be sure to point out to the wife the wisdom of having an extra tractor around.

We use "Sam" one of our JD MTs to rake. Does a great job and like yours, turns on a dime.

Betty,my wife does the raking at our house. She uses the 5610 with a canopy rather than the 640. Says it rides better. Gotta keep the ladies happy.

She knows the value of having an extra tractor around. Just can't quite convince her of the need for 7 of them LOL. Especially when we only own 2 acres of land and farm other peoples land as a hobby for me. Along with the tractors I've got 2 balers, haybine, 3 rakes, 2 J.D. 350 dozers, Case 580B hoe & a dump truck, not to mention the plows rotavators & misc. other toys. Haven't seen my golf clubs this year. I'm beginning to think I might just have too many toys too. LOL Keith

Super H wide front is my raking tractor also. Works well to straddle windrows roking two into one.
