Is the haybob much different to modern day tedders, other than working width?Cut down a small bit on bank holiday monday but with the threat of thundershowers late in the week l chose to wrap it on friday. Glad l did as we got rain on friday night
And will people please stop bashing haybobs. If you made hay with fingerbar mowers and acrobats or hayflashes or hayzips back in the 70s you would appreciate what a revolutionary machine the PZ haybob was.
Bomford JF even Pierce probably others too all made that type. They were all fairly dismal.. Says it all if the Bossman went back to the pike.Is the haybob much different to modern day tedders, other than working width?
We had one of these pottinger yokes back in the day, and I remember my father letting it idle and using a 2 prong pike instead
They were okay for rowing up though

I had a bit for hay but I thought about it and the hardship involved and very wisely decided to make silage of it instead. The pz lump maker can rest another year :rolleyes2:

vogel and noot hayblitz they were called, the frame was welded many times on the one here but it was better than an vicon acrobat just the same, the pz version was called a hayman i thinkWe had one of them with belts. I can't remember the make . Would it have been Vogel and Noot .It was blue.

Hayman definitely rings a bell, in fact I think thats what the father used to call it.We had a Pottinger like that. HAYMAN 200 ?
A neighbour had a Pottinger Haystar 2 row Turner, bought new. SOME piece of scrap.
Its worth between €20 to €30 per bale.First of the hay baled and loosely stacked in the shed . Down a week and saved without rain! How much do lads recon a 4X4 bale is worth loaded out of the shed? It really is beautiful hay, you’d almost eat it yourself but then again they all say that ! T.i.a.
the first round was thrown in towards the field and then you turned round and threw the hay back towards the ditch after that you kept going all the time throwing the hay into the bare ground left after the pass before, the round by the ditch was always twice the size and much harder to get fit but crops were lighter back in those daysHow did them haymans turncthe stuff?
Hard see how thwy would
Since 2017 was a bit miserable trying to make hay, I thought a few pics of 2018 hay making might be worthwhile.
We were at hay last week and baled some from Thursday to Sunday.
