We are getting our haying equipment ready for first cut. Pictured is my 13 foot throat J.D. Mower/Conditioner hooked to the back of my 5030 Kubota. Orange and Green really don't look bad together.

I did most of my hay cutting with red and green, too, but the other way around; red Gehl mower/conditioner and a green Oliver tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I like the start of this thread! How does that 5030 run that big old MoCo? Bird, Oliver made some nice tractors!

The mower conditioner combines a mower and a crimper. A crimper crimps the hay between two rollers for faster drying. It also deposits the hay in a windrow, saving a step if not tedding.

I posted this thread in the spring. Old threads revived!! Anyway, you could run the MoCo with a much smaller tractor, it doesn't take much horsepower. The tongue weight is the killer. About 1200 pounds with the arm extended. The MoCo makes for a smooth ride on uneven ground with the 5030's short wheelbase.

Any union is good so long as the splines and rpm match. When it comes to farming, you must be multi-national!! That is, unless you are CowboyDoc!!
