The JD 1217 is an old machine I found locally and rebuilt, and want to take it for a short spin to see if everything is moving right and looking good before first cutting, including up-and-down.

The 850 is my tractor which is right here where I have the hay bine. The hay endeavors I'm working out with a couple of other farmers locally involves their array of larger tractors and other equipment as well.

On the subject though...I had a JD 1207 haybine for years, which looks the same as this one to me, and I pulled it with Massey TO 35s, both gas and diesel, with good results. Do you think the JD 850 would pull it? I'm not sure if it would, might be slow going. There are times where that little tractor seems really gutsy, and others when it seems kinda tiny. I have cleared land with it for new pastures here, and the trees I've uprooted and skidded out have surprised me for that little thing. I've read on another website where someone was pulling a small Hesston round baler with one and said it went great, which I found interesting as well.

Anyway, I've found the right hydraulic connector, this morning, and I'm going to go see if I can get that extension hose made up.
