An 806 or 1086 like what used to pull those kinds of things, not so much. Some of today's tractors could directly run a hydro swing without breaking a sweat. What kind of tractor are you running it with?

30 gpm is only like 45 horsepower at the hydraulic motor shaft.

Has anyone tried it or do I start cutting younger apart. Too much heat, but they run air drills from tractors?. Right now it uses the pto pump, but why not run it directly from tractor hydraulics?. Why can't I just plumb it from the tractor. So since winter is here it's time to fix. Some how in the middle of haying I managed to crack the tongue and lost all the oil. So I have an old 116 new holland hydraswing.

Really stupid hydra-swing question Jump to page : 1 Now viewing page 1 That said I would not be too afraid of a 7' on flat ground in average yielding hay.You are logged in as a guest. Another thing to remember is the side draft of the haybine since you are pulling it from the side instead of the center of it can be surprising.

If I had a 7' model I would be willing to try it on my little Kubota L285 which I use to bale hay with (my Kubota is slightly bigger than a JD 870 but slightly small than your JD 970). I can see the drawbar flex when I hitch up on either tractor. I pull it with either a JD model A tractor 33 hp or a Farmall h at 26 hp. That said it is heavy with an insane amount of tongue weight. My Hesston 1120 mower conditioner (equivalent to a 9' haybine) manual calls for 30 hp minimum per factory manual specs. Actually the 1070 is real close to be being a full fledged utility tractor so that bodes well for yah. The JD 970 and even more so the JD 1070 were large and heavy as far as compact tractors go. I am thinking your 970 just might handle that 7' haybine in most conditions as long as we are not talking super-fertilized type yields of drastic height.
