Finally a farmer that is using a Massey Ferguson Tractor. Love those machines, including all their equipment.
I’m a big fan of Massey Equipment. Especially the 200 series tractors. Thanks
Brings back childhood memories of my weekends at my grandparents farm in Franklin County, VA. Been over 50 years ago, but times I'll never forget. My papa's 135 MF and a sickle mower. Thanks for bringing us back to a simpler time of how it used to be!
Thank you for watching
I could listen to that tractor and mower all night!! For some reason it is a relaxing sound to me. I’m sure if it were right in my ear I may feel different. Thanks for the video!!
Thanks 👍
That is a smooth running little tractor.That nice looking hey.
It sure is! Thanks for watching
I find mowing with my Ford 4000SU and Massey 41 dynabalance mower is very theraputic for me but as you said it is stressful at times when the mower breaks down, especially since Massey no longer supports that mower and parts are very hard to come by. The thing that really amazes me is how well your Massey mower cuts with the grass that wet! With both my old New Holland 451 and the Massey 41 sickle mowers I have a devil of a time keeping the knife clean in the wet grass. I should study your setup closely. Nice job and I really enjoy watching you work that 245 like a master.
You know I’ve never used a sickle that will mow as good as this one does. I really can’t explain why but it does. Thanks for watching
It's so relaxing watching you cut hay great job
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks
Ah the sweet chatter of a sickle mower, I have said it before and I will say it again I like that sound . Thanks Ben great job
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
That Massey is a great tractor. It is always sooooo hard to decide to cut. Mother Nature doesn’t always corporate. Enjoyable video Ben. Thanks
It’s a gamble. Thanks for watching
Courage and God’s will. You made me smile
Thank you!!
You know Ben it sure does bring a smile on my face too, thanks and God Bless
Great! Thank you
Put a smile on my face too... 😊
Thank you!
I took a chance on 1st hay cut too Ben. Tried out new cutter. I'm gonna send you a pic of it. Be safe
Good luck! I hope to bale today. Nice looking mower also. Thanks
Good morning. Always enjoy the videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks
Congrats on getting started!
Thank you!!
I know, those sickle towers are not as efficient and all that but there is something about watching the grass fall over in neat rows. Thats something you don't get to see with the modern equipment and I find it soothing to watch. But then I am getting old and that may be it.
I agree on watching the grass fall! Thanks for watching
Great video buddy 👍 Massey running good 👍
Sure is! Thanks
Great video I am still trying to get my manure spread on pasture
Good luck! Thanks for watching
As always great video. Love that Massey as always too. That's a great combination. Sickle mowers and damp, wet hay are sometimes pretty finicky but you sure seemed to have no problem and must have been pretty confident to give it a shot before heading to church! Thanks for sharing.
It worked out pretty good time wise. Mowed another field that morning also that wasn’t in video. Thanks for watching
We use to have a double like that and when it was running correctly it would flat lay the acreage down. I love to see some of this older iron still getting it done.
I’d like to try a double cut sickle, never been around one any. Thanks for watching
Great video. I cut same day, a little south of you in TN with an old haybine instead of hooking up the disc mower 😂
Good luck! We should bale tomorrow. Thanks for watching
Looks great Ben
Thanks 👍
That’s a great combo!
Thanks!
Hello Ben, Always tuff trying to figure weather windows for sure, good old Massey Ferguson getting it done👏👍🏼🪵🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Hi, i`m a friend of old farm euqipment too - the same reason. They never failed on me. Best Regards, Alfred
Thank you!
Maybe I can watch a video of the weekend again ok ❤
Sounds good!
@@khtractors I am so sorry I'm not watching you videos right now ok.
@@khtractors hi
@@khtractors hi
I was tempted to start mowing hay yesterday but we’ve had so much rain the ground is just saturated. I figured I’d make a mess out of the hay fields and it’d be a fight trying to hurry up and get it to dry. I understand what ya mean about the cycle mower. Sometimes it’s just fun to bring out the old equipment
We’ve had rain but not enough to get the ground soggy. Thanks for watching
Good Morning Sir, The London Fog As Reach You 👌👍😇 Your Green field are so grown up, up here folks are starting to cut their grass this week end but mine will be cut next week end to give the chance to the bee's 😇👍👌 OUTSTANDING VIdeo Sir Cheers 👍👍😇😇🍻🍻
Thanks so much Dave!
Another great video Ben.Sure is a lot of fog,but still so beautiful.That is some beautiful green grass, know it will make some nice square or round bales.Just wondering if you oil the sickle bar with used tractor oil,my grandfather did.Take care,be safe and have a blessed day.🚜👏👍🙏❤️
Yes I did oil it. Thanks for watching along!
I dont know that I even remember how but I would love to mow some hay with an old mowing machine like that. I thought about buy one but I dont have any hay to mow. 😄
You’d figure it out! Thanks for watching
Sure do enjoy the videos
Thank you! I watched several of yours with the 5045E.
@@khtractors thank you. We appreciate you watching
A properly set and adjusted sickle mower cuts much cleaner than a disc mower, not as fast but in my opinion much better
Yes sir! Thanks for watching
I watched a video of yours last night that you made 3 years ago that you used the Kubota. You was in the same place.
Yeah I know the one you’re talking about! Thanks!
@@khtractors that's is another great video. It popped up so I watched it. You're welcome buddy
There's nothing wrong with the way that mower cuts grass, plus I would want to use the Massey on those hills since it's low to the ground. Some of the flat landers up north here might be chicken to mow those hills but don't let them call you crazy.
I appreciate you watching!
No time like the present
Very true! Thanks
Still use a 1948 8 N Ford with the original cycle mower
That’s awesome!
Love seeing the sickle mower in action. I just went through an old NH 451 sickle. Look forward to using it first cutting some.
What’s your favorite type of sections for cutting grass hay?
I use serrated edge one. Thanks for watching
If u ever need another pitman driven Massey Ferguson sickle mower I've got one down here that doesn't use
Where here at? Thanks for watching

Nice video! What do you teach ?
Welding, thanks for watching
Where did mammaw live. Once when you were pushing snow you gave the impression she lived over by your dad so you work over behind your house and say you're behind mamaws"'s
It’s down the paved road across from my house. Dad lives on out the road a ways. You’ve probably not seen his house unless you’ve watched some early channel videos.
