Hi, Neil.
Well, would like to be doing that mowing with an equivalent wheel tractor, either 2 or 4WD?
Just my 0.02.

interesting video Neil, crawlers cutting hay! never have seen that...not sure if there's any real advantage over wheel tractors...cutting hay doesn't require traction (like tillage) or a lot of horsepower..
=think i will stay with my old Case 65HP diesel 2 wheel drive tractor, and New Holland haybine

Reminded me of D2 or TD6 scooting around the hills here. I had neighbors that used to mow and rake with D4' s, better stability, less sliding.

I know when I used to mow hay, some fields were quite sketchy as far as traction goes, even with 4wd wheel tractors. The more clover in a crop, the less traction for sure. The Italians crop some heavy rolling country.
Here's another one of a plow day where there's a mix of crawlers and wheel tractors -

This one seems a little too wet for his cultivator - www.youtube.com/shorts/aysLJzjufyo
