FIRST TIME CUTTING HAY with the LS MT473 Tractor! Haying Season Begins!

Operation65–75 hpLS Tractor MT473

Overview

An owner-operator's real first-hay-cut session with a borrowed LS MT473, pairing it with a Tar River drum mower that's undersized for the tractor. The video covers category-two hitch setup quirks, mid-job mower troubleshooting (a loose spring causing the mower to swing out), and honest R14 tire impressions on wet Hill Country ground. It wraps with a DIY baler pickup-wheel fix. Best for MT473 owners curious about real-field use rather than specs.

An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own Hill Country farm, with no apparent commercial or dealer affiliation.
