NW Wyoming | Short answer, yes they are hard on tractors. Especially PTO clutches. We replaced several PTO clutches in our older 30 and 40 series Deere tractors. We have been using 8000 series tractors in front of an H1100 Haybuster for about 20 years now and so far have had very good luck. If you grind much wet hay or grass hay, you will still have problems. The one thing to make sure of is to buy a grinder with a governor on it and make sure it is working right. Ours has an electronic governor and if it is working correctly it protects the tractor by nor overloading it. We can tell if it isn't working right because it starts to really slug the tractor because it doesn't stop turning the tub when the rpm's drop. The other thing on the haybusters to consider is to make sure to keep the drive belts tight. You can smoke a set in no time if they get a little bit loose. | |
