It's a HayMax 165 Drum Mower....I love the thing. When I get on a smooth pasture I can cut in High range...about 11 mph! The Belarus is my partner/neighbor in this hay thing and I'm not sure what model it is but I can say it's a great tractor. Last year there was a Sheik from one of the middle eastern country's buying up all the Belarus's he could find. They stuck them in containers and shipped them out...so that tells ya they are a dependable machine.

I was wrong its SFI

It looks like the 250AS ... tough little 31 hp tractor. Years ago I bought a new one ... in 1999 ... the tractor, brush hog and boom pole cost me $4195 (if I recall correct) I simply couldn't tear it up.

I'm looking forward to that ... are you dry in your neck of the woods?

I just got in from checking on my Pearl Millet I sowed down this spring ... some places are 24" and some are 10" and the leaves are starting to wilt, we need rain bad ... on another field I'm going to take 20 acres this weekend ... a little shorter than I like, good bahia and clover I'm afraid another 10-14 days of 90 degrees and 20 mph winds and it will burn up.

No, we have had a light rain on an off all day so I did not tedder it. Tomorrow is much better with a 30% chance if isolated T storms.

Punch in 37881 and you will see what we are getting....

Thanks buddy:thumbsup: I have been watering some on a cple acres but the Bahia has jumped up but the coastal only about 6/7in.,cutting in 3weeks to see how many bales can get put up,then start buying some.If I get another cutting later just be a plus,maybe can get some carry over to next year. May have to put the hay meadow in pasture rotation again this year.

If it were easy everybody would be doing it...........
