Mowing Can I use a MF1260 with a NH474 haybine

ricesinice · Sep 17, 2014

Hi All,
I just bought the farm. We now have a Massey 1260 that is supposed to have 33hp at the pto. Is this enough power to run the 474 haybine?
I really can't find any information about this searching online.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

How hilly is your property? Reasonably flat ground you should have no problem with 7 foot haybine. On hills concern would be tractor weight so the haybine doesn't push you around.

The land is pretty flat with just one hill with ledge that I want to see if the 1260 can wheelie over! I can probably work around it pretty easily. Thanks for the reply, hopefully I will be trying it out this weekend, and the loaded rear tires should help.
