First cut hay 2018

"Only 500 acres" haha that would be a huge farm where I am. Beautiful machine sir, good choice.

Both are nice mowers!

looks good, nice choice.Decent looking crop for this year 'Just try it, first one is free......dang salesmen lol

Hate buying someone else’s problems but if the Cheaper one will fit your needs lol. Tough choice

Looks good, my 22 year old haybine is asking to go the retirement home.

Looks like a nice machine does a nice job of crimping and laying it out 👍

Nice mower could you put grass in with that alfalfa for higher yield beef cows don't need dairy quality hay

Very nice machine.  Wow 15000 off in programs, they sure make it tempting don't they?

They have one of those in Dalhart that they cant sell, no one uses them here. I know they would give a huge discount, I was thinking of selling my machine this spring and buying one so I wouldn't have to be running all the time for custom work

Awesome hope it works out for you..

We ran the exact same 1372 mower for years, great machine! Only reason we traded ours off is, we went to the larger 1375 mower. Big difference going from 13- 15.5 ft

That's a nice looking piece of equipment you have there. Twenty years will go by faster than you know. Time seems to speed up so much as we get older.

Good video. Thanks for sharing.

When we started our little 60 acre farm in Kansas our first baler was a 1980ish Heston square baler. How does it condition the hay?

I like the steel rolls. They last a lot longer and I think they suck the hay through better. Sounds like u got a good dealer and that’s worth a lot

It maybe worth it buy the new one but like you the payment make the decision for you.

Green for go red your _____ed got a new rake tedder and baler this year and I hate learning how to use something new but it's always better then standing around the old one with a dumb look on your face and your wife says I saw smoke what's wrong with it and I go I don't know but it was making a hell of a noise then you spend an hour trying to find what's broken today and how do I get to it you can at least see how you it all works before buying I have heard Kubota was good there's two or three around here but a whole lot of Kuhn mowers they hold up good in rocks and terraces but Massey is supposed to make a real good conditioner from what I have seen we just use 3pt disc mowers here anything else and they get broke down on this rough ground but like the mower

Guy I work for has the 1383 Massey Ferguson mower. It’s the 13 foot cut model. It’s a nice mower we’ve been happy with it. Just mowed some 5 foot tall rye with it last week

Would you not want to see your pressure gage from the tractor cab??

Much change between the used one and your 8312. I like the Hesston line but dealers are 1 hour and a half away.

looks like some good hay. kind of nice to try a new machine. ive never even been close to one.

What kind of setup did your neighbor have with that header mounted on his tractor?

Hanlon Ag Centre; is that the dealer you use [saw their mowers on TractorHouse.com]? Did you end up keeping the new mower?

Would you normally cut the hay not being matured more?

Well it's been over a year,hows your new mower doing?

Are you dealing with trochu
