The old girl can still cut up a hay field
She's old, but she still can put down a hay field. 2nd cutting dropped this afternoon.
Here's a couple pictures of the Deere 800 windrower, a couple while I'm driving it off the field, a pic of the freshly cut field with 1st cutting bales in the background, a pic of my cows as they were walking buy in the pasture and a picture of the Deere 5093e and Gehl 5240 skid I use to move and feed the bales. The 567 deere baler shows up the end of this month, so will have to custom bale this cutting. Enjoy the pictures.

Re: The old girl can still cut up a hay field
Very nice! "The old girl" looks remarkable for her age. How many acres of hay do you cut?

Re: The old girl can still cut up a hay field
Thanks. I bought it about 7 years ago from a farmer who had restored the power unit. The head and reel are original, he completely repainted the power unit after putting in all new bearings, etc. I cut just 18 acres. It makes about 80-90 5x6 rounds in a good year, enough to feed my small herd of Hereford cows and 1 horse.

I don't recall ever seeing a Deere 800 windrower before. Nice looking machine.

Great photos, and great old tractor! Thanks for sharing!
