[ATTACH]813[/ATTACH] this is my last years organic red spring wheat crop underseeded to clover.

Well ya, but, who farms with a pull type swather anymore? If your making money why not have a new sp swather? That is most impressive to the neighbors. Two new sp swathers would be even better.

LOL I was thinking the same thing, but the old swather is paid for and reliable so i guess i will keep it around for a bit. PS i do have a self propelled JD with honey header.

I ran a pull type for at least a decade and it laid the nicest swath ever. Eventually I bought a self propelled honestly with the mindset that I was going organic and I was going to have to swath everything because of all the weeds and/or double swath such poor crops. It's funny how people (me) think.
My good friends went so far as to suggest I buy a baler! I was pretty scared about transition. Thankfully I did attend conferences and other organic farmers were willing to give advice. Most active organic farmers are relatively successful but they don't get to brazen about it because nobody wants to hear it.
