This makes life so much easier. Pull your trailering pins, remove cylinder lock and never leave the seat until done. All hydraulic.

It is. This is last year, it makes a nice windrow. Looked at R23A but they are not hydraulic fold or lift. R2300 is all hydraulic.

Couldn't get into a ten acre field.....creek/spillway across the road, then a pond dam. Steep up outta the creek. I had my neighbor use his skidsteer to cut down the bank some, but of course that just left a bunch of muck. So, Bubba and I cut a bunch of posts, and made a mat over the soft spot.

Wheat harvest will start as soon as the ground will carry the combines. 41/2 and 11/2 rain last two nights! Sure it's bleaching it some!
