It's a working farm diary with real acreage, weather planning, and equipment commentary rather than a tight how-to on the 2520 itself, useful for viewers wanting an authentic look at small-farm hay logistics.
Appears to be a farm owner documenting their own haymaking work, not a dealer or reviewer.
The disc mower is more efficient, and a sickle mower doesn't work well in the south because the hay is much thicker there than in the north.
Hay is cut and tedded the same day, left to dry overnight, then raked about an hour ahead of baling the following day.
A 1969 John Deere 4020 tractor paired with a Kuhn GMD 24 disc mower is used to cut about 15 acres of hay.
