West Central Missouri | Technically it is still a self propelled windrower |

Warburg, AB | How well does it work? I've considered a similar setup. |

Very true!(: |

|
N.D | it works real well I did not want to junk the tractor. but the 14ft hay head sure was junk.air conditioner is real good. |
|
| |
|
| I've thought about the same. Two questions. How is roading that rig down the road with so much "nose"? Second what's a windrower like that worth when the head is shot? Self propelled units are not common in this area so I have no real experience with them.

Manitoba | ive often thought that rigging up a merger to a swather drive unit like that would be great. never managed to try it yet but that pic has be thinking about it again. |

| Very cool! 20 yrs ago I was haying fields 20 miles apar and made a wheel rake to fit the snowplow mount on my dually flatbed. Made road travel quick. Got to the field and put the truck in low gear and just steered. Wish I had pics but no camera on the bag phone!! |

Always thought this was a cool way to rake too. |

DV, NV | There's a couple Bootsma bar rakes on swathers here. They seem to get along pretty well with them. Nice for small fields and borders. dirt cheap power u its with plenty of hydraulics makes for a nice setup. As long as you're not the one driving them! |
|
| |
|
Sunnyside, WA | Do the Bootsma rakes ride nice? I would take a newer tractor today over a swather almost any day. |
|
| |
|
DV, NV | The rakes seem to do fine. I've never driven the swather setup but it can't be that comfortable.
I'd never trade my tractors and G3s for his setup. They were cheap and he has hired help on them I think. |

Freedom, WI | Looks good! Do you have any more pictures? Me and dad have been kicking around the idea from time to time. |

SP windrowers are common as dirt around here, and once they hit a certain age they are nearly worthless. The header will be completely shot before the tractor is.
