This tractor (T16) was cutting hay by using a old horse drawn sickle mower.Although this hundred years old hay cutter was designed for horse. It can still be used well, also with tractor. Yet, this way it would normally, require two men to work with it, one to drive tractor, and other to operate the hay cutter. But this man was patient and skilled enough, to do it alone.Seems that he have set some weight to the hay mover's seat to keep it in better balance.. Well he was managing somehow.. It actually looked like a really annoying job, like this.Since he couldn't lift the cutting blade of sickles from tractor's seat, the blade got entangled with already cut hay, for every time he had to turn around on already proceeded area.. therefore he had backward and forward a lot, to get it free of warped hay.I almost wanted to go to offer my help, but then again.. I thought that it might take too long to get all that hay cut.. and well, yeah. :P
