Beautiful hay field! 
Looks to be at least a Par 4 - although I couldn't see the pin...
Looks a bit like your inside disc is not as low to the ground as the rest of the cutter bar. Ken gave some great advice on "leveling up" your cutter bar. Doesn't look all that bad, though - IMO. You'll have a bit more growth on those areas to cut with the next hay cutting..
I'm in the process of adding "skid shoes" to the inboard and outboard ends of the cutter bar that will hold the bar up higher off the ground. I want more stubble! (It's sometimes so wet up here that the hay will flat out clog the cutter bar and get the belts to spin!) And the added stubble will hold the hay up off the wet ground to help dry things out better.
