What happens here

The presenter highlights the design of the haybine's attachment to the tractor. He explains that the haybine is intentionally offset from the tractor's path to prevent the tractor's tires from flattening or 'mashing down' the uncut hay. This offset ensures a cleaner cut and maximizes the amount of usable hay. He also details the connection points, including the 540 PTO (Power Take-Off) shaft for power and hydraulic lines for raising and lowering the haybine at the end of each row.

Goal: Understand the importance of the haybine's offset position and its tractor connections.

Tools and materials

  • John Deere Tractor
  • New Holland Haybine (Model 474)

job so let's look at this and think about this the tractor is offset from the hey bind the tractor is set up to where it rides right on the edge right on the cutting edge of right on the cutting edge of where the hay is being cut and then right here the habe ein is offset it's offset so that you don't run over the hay and mash it down prior to mowing so you get a better cleaner cut and you utilize most of your grass cool the closer look at the hay mine inside here are all the mechanical moving parts and on the other side they're also mechanical moving parts right here the hey vine hooks to your pto and your tractor it's a 540 PTO on this tractor and you also have a hydraulic setting the hydraulics raise and lower the hay bond so as you're going along mowing you have to raise it up at the end of the row and do your little circle turn around and go back in and drop it back down and those scissors start cutting again guys I hope you learned something
