Well - everything was looking good for our hay cutting - weather sunny and breezy
So, hooked up the International Harvester B23 finger cutter onto our Case 695
Headed into the grass - got 50yards and the blade attachment from the crank disintegrated
OH is doubly pissed off because we bought the fingercutter from our neighbour's grandson and then the next day saw another, slightly newer fingercutter at an auction that went for £100 less! So OH feels he's been taken for a mug by the grandson re the price - and now the blasted thing has broken!
Ho hum - will see if we can get some parts - otherwise we will resort to topping the field and then baling up the resultant grass (after woofling and spreading) because our main intention is to take the growth off the field, not the hay itself if you see what I mean!
