Hesston 1070 haybine

I have the chance to pick up a hesston 1070 haybine. I have not had much luck finding any info on them online. There were a few things I would like to know before making the trip to go look at the haybine.

Were they good machines?

When were they made?

What do they weigh ( ball park )?

What type of rollers did they use ? I have found post on other forums saying hesston's rollers were not known for delaminating like new hollands.

Are parts still available ?

thanks for the help
 
My FIL has a 1070 since new. He loves it. It has double steel rolls if I remember. All he has done is replace the sections since new, but he only
mows 25 acres a year. I don't think I could buy it even if I payed new price for it.
 
I don't have the info for a 1070 but the 1071 is included in the manual for my 1091 and I think they are similar. A 1071 weighs 3140 lbs., 115.5 inches overall width, tread width is 75.5 inches, upper roll length 86" 9" diameter steel, lower roll length 86" 8" diameter rubber, 87" length of cut, requires 30 hp plus at 540 rpm. Again this is for the 1071. The 1071 was made from 1982 to 1988 and the 1070 from 1978 to 1980 according to another book I have.
The neighbor has a 1090 (we have 1091) and the only difference I can see is that his rolls run inter-meshed therefore are probably the same diameter and if memory is right both are steel. I think his unit conditions the hay a little better than ours does. I run stub guards and don't have any problems (so far) while he runs full or rock guards and does have problems plugging sometimes (we mowed some together the other year and he plugged all the time while I went straight thru no problems).
So far I have not had any problems getting parts from the dealer or aftermarket.
 

Thanks for the info. The weight may be a problem for me then my tractor only weighs about 3400lbs.

Sure is a good price on the one I found and it's in good shape.
 
I pulled our 1091 with a farmall 300 in a pinch and we have a few pretty good slopes, just had to be careful. Also used the F300 on the PT-10 before that. When we had a Satoh Stallion (38 hp) I used it a good bit in the haybines.
 

The one I'm looking at does have the both steel rollers.

I really find it crazy that the 1070's weight is not listed anywhere. The 7' new holland haybines run right around 2000 lbs
 
Well the hesston ended up having a a rubber and steel roller. I was not told correctly by the seller.

I ended up buying it today. It seems like a pretty solid machine. Looks like the rollers dont intermesh like chevron rollers on a new holland. Looks like the hay just gets crushed between the high spots on the rollers. Is this correct?

I ordered a manual for it. I need to see how to adjust the roller gap. One side has a little more of a gap than the other and I am not sure what is supposed to be to get the best results.

I think for $600 it will be a pretty good machine.
 
Can someone please tell me if the rollers are supposed to interlock like chevron rollers. This looks to not be possible with the way the rollers are make on the hesston. If they are supposed to I think I have got big problems.
 

Ok I got the book now and it says the rollers should be at no less than 1/16" gap.

I am just not sure how good that is going to condition the hay. I am new to mower conditioners.
 
Not sure if you ever got the answers to your questions but...

The 1070 is a fine machine and will condition just fine when set up properly. It's more about crimping stems to crack them to allow dessication.
