[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1632301, member: 27848"] I wasn't happy with my Drum mower cutting my hay close to the ground....worked fine on mowing grass but for hay..... way too short. Bit my lip as I swore I'd never do it again but I bought a sicklebar MOCO...mid '80's Ford 538. PO had adjusted the skid plates for about 4" or so of stubble after the cut. I got the field cut but couldn't get but half it off with the first baling. Wound up at 5-6 days on getting the remainder raked and baled and the SS part of the crop (had drilled SS into a growing Rye and native pasture) was up over 8". Impressive. MOCO performed flawlessly and I remembered how to make a square corner from years ago.....got the drawbar extension and Operator and Parts manuals with the unit....seldom that happens. Had Deere, NH and IH and I like this Ford much better.....course the others were like the vintage of the JD 1209s...don't remember the others model numbers. Things DO sometimes improve with time. :D [/QUOTE]
