Reading some posts on haybines - Hesston, New Holland and Deere. Some of these things sound a bit scary when bought used. Wobble boxes, delaminating rollers, etc.
What is a good - farmer friendly fix it yourself haybine? Any particular models you would recommend?
I know of a NH 474 for sale, but from some online reading, it sounds like they had some wobble box trouble? NH 472 sounds great - I think, but they are somewhat hard to find that don't look like they better suited for a scrap yard in my neck of the woods. I see some Hesstons and JD haybines from time to time and even an IH 990 once in a while.
So what is a good used make/model (7 ft in my case) haybine you'd recommend that a hack mechanic like myself could feel comfortable bringing home and fixing/using?
Thanks!
Bill
