@BillTheTractorMan - I've only broken one pitman so far... but then I'm only cutting this one field (10-11 acres) each year, and the sickle bar stays under roof when not in use.

@stembre When we get mowing our 12 acres of field we break at least 1 pitman a year, normally on the first more because they rot over the winter. LOL

this so much reminds me of my youth.I can understand what you mean about spending an afternoon cutting being so much pleasure. I never could afford my own farm but i so miss those days. Life was simple, all our neighbours had one implement for making hay, when we all worked together we had the complete set of machinery to make hay.
Thnks for posting this, keep posting,

I spent many an hour mowing alfalfa while growing up in South Dakota. We had a Ford 8N and JD No. 9 mower. Used to dread it every summer; now I'd give anything to live on the farm again.

@Brian93ist - thanks - I have to vary speed based on field conditions. On that day, it was cutting really good at that speed. Some other days, I have to cut in 1st gear.

@jburrows2009 - true, but then I only hay about 10 acres... when the sickle is working good, its actually a very pleasurable way to spend an afternoon.

why does this 8n have a draw bar most dont
brian93ist 1 year ago
@brian93ist - If you're meaning a drawbar like you'd find on an old Farmall M or such, I do not have anything like that... my sickle bar had been converted to work on a 3pt hitch, which is what I was doing here. I do have a drawbar that fits on my lift arms, and I use it when pulling the baler, etc.
