This vintage McCormack-Deering hay mower dates from the mid 1930's. It has a three-point hitch for hook-up to a tractor. The operator controlled the angle of cut. This machine was capable of cutting 5 - 8 acres of hay a day. However it was susceptible to clogging. Still, it was a vast improvement over hand scything.
