Nothing beats a good running 3000. That looks like a 9' haybine? Thats impressive. I have a 1966 3000 gas that I mow hay with a Massey 7' mower conditioner and bale with it too. One of the best tractors I ever owned.

Nice looking set up. Good hay too

Thanks for sharing this Randy, enjoyed it. Use a 492 hooked to a NH 7840. Your haybine is very similar, gets the job done. Interesting to see someone going round and round the field, that's how I do it.

Man, this brings back a TON of memories. If my memory serves right, we pulled the haybine with either a Ford 4000 or IH 454. Thanks so much. Appreciate you taking the time to do this!

We had the same NH Haybine - We pulled it with a Massey 165 which was a little bigger at 58 hp. It looks like your Ford 3000 handles the job very well. We did not have as level of ground and pulled it up and down some pretty good sized hills in East Central Ohio. It is nice to see the old school stuff still in the field working as good as ever. Thanks for the video! Enjoyed it.

I spent much of my youth driving that same rig cutting hay in Boiling Springs South Carolina. I left the better part of my SPINE in those fields picking up those small bales of hay. Jim in Chile

Buy a hat! Lol Great video, thanks.

We used a 3600 with a 7’ haybine and this 300 handles the 9’ better that our setup did. Interesting!

Looks a lot like how we did it back in the 1970’s, although ours was a 4000. Your 3000 looks a lot like my current one, although your loader is more nearly matched to the tractor. Mine is way too heavy, and uses both remotes. And doesn’t come off at all easy. About a half hour for the mechanic who knew how to do it.

Nothing wrong with that!

That little Ford 3000, is a gem. I like MF fitted with the Perkins 152 engine as well. Does your Ford have the 3-cylinder motor? If so, any 3-cylinder with the 120° crankshaft, is excellent in my book. Thanks.

I have a 72 3000. Doesn’t have a loader but looking at the Westerndorf T-26. What diverter valve do you have on it? I need to put rear remotes on mine too.
-
looks like you are going to make lots of hay,are you going to square or round bale it ?
-
Just curious. If you bush hogged around the field why not run your first round with the tractor running in the bush hogged part instead of running over the hay
-
The haybines work awfully good UNLESS you have salamanders that leave an ant-like dirt mound. I never had the nerve to detach my front-end loader, because hooking the hoses back up was an SOB!

Hey where are you from sir?

when did diesel take over tractors in the usa

Cool video but always do your backswath last along a tree line incase there's limbs or stuff that can hurt your mower that way if you hit something your not wasting time fixing it instead of haying in a 3 or 4 day hay window
-
Why drive anti-clockwise to open the field, drive clockwise and cut the back swarth afterwards... Otherwise it is motering well, doing it's job.
