Hi Wayne, my dad used a 454D to drive his 7ft. New Idea cutditioner. He normally would run in 2nd gear but if it was really heavy hay would require 1st gear. His 454D was rated at 40 HP but he had the pump turned up to over 50 HP. You 574 gas should be around 50 HP but if it over heats, I would suspect cooling system problems or timing is to slow. My dad only kept the cutditioner for about 4 years and traded for a NH haybine. The haybine required about 1/4 the HP and you could cut in 4th gear. The drying time of the hay was about the same but the cuditioner was better at picking up downed hay. But by jambing a 2x4 between the roller stops on the NH, it could be used to swath grain. My 2 cents JB
