Mornin Guys,
I thought I would post a few pictures of my friend and local farmer Neil, mowing my Uncle Daves 30 acres with his 5105 and his International 9ft haybine. He has been trying to do his cutting in sections this year due to the unpredictable weather:( , along with doing the whole operation himself. He managed to bring in quite a haycrop this year !

Pretty countryside and satisfying looking work. Do you get a chance to "play"?

Mornin Rob,
Yeah with the camera ! :) Actually I offered to use my tractor to pull the haywagon but Neil had it pretty well taken care of ! He uses an International round baler also.

Very nice pics Scotty. Looks a lot like the country in this part of the state.

Howdy Scott!

I knew it! There HAD to be someone, somewhere that actually has TWO pieces of IH hayin' equipment that still runs.

Those pictures remind me of Kentucky, 'cept the driver's wearin' shoes. ;)

Mornin Oleozz,

I'm a big fan of some IH equipment, but their hayin' equipment left a little to be desired. Deere, New Holland, and a couple shortliners always stayed 2 or 3 steps in the lead.

Afternoon Bill,
Agreed the New Holland old square balers where pretty bullet proof ! ;)

If you want to irritate a diehard IH fan, just start talking about their early attempts at a round baler. ;)
