Little bit of difference there. Self propelled J.D. swather's I've seen and been around don't have ADJUSTABLE throttles. You've got a toggle switch, idle and wide open. The original poster was talking about Self propelled machines. "Been cutting hay since I was 10, so I have a little experience in that regard." ok so,, I too have been cutting hay that long myself. Started with a Model A and a 7 foot mower.... With a SELF PROPELLED swather, with speeding up the reel, most all of the crop can be picked up. I know since I've done it for years... Didn't say sickle machines are 'plug proof' but the chances of plugging can be minimized with proper adjustments.
