when I am mowing now I sure do miss them big open hayfields of Oklahoma and Nebraska but when I was out there I sure got tired of all those long monotonous straight,flat fields :lol: , I guess it goes back to the grass is always greener theorydun":1szkrlrn said:Where is 4ctopwhatever when you need him. I need to learn how to cut more then 3acres an hour of hay. I'm sure he could do 50 acres in that much time.

That is why I like the hesston and NH MOCOs because you can cut square corners as you go, my next moco will be a center pivot then you never worry about cornersdun":zbnhc1xw said:bigbull338":zbnhc1xw said:i figure with a 9ft cutter you should be able to cut 4 to 5acs an hr.an that depends on how big the field is how rough it is an how fast you run the tractor.we cut all the corners after cut the whole field.
Sometimes can get over 4 mph but not often. If we cut all the corners last it would still take the same amount of time, they're all corners!
