JD 1460 MoCo

Part Time Pete · Jun 3, 2018

My son found a John Deere 1460 MoCo for sale for $3k. I've always wanted a disc type machine, but I also know that used ones can get expensive quick when they break
Are these machines any good?
Thanks
Pete

OLd, old technology...

If it?s neen taken care off that one thing if it hasn?t I wouldn?t touch it disc mowers scare me with as much as can go wrong with them

What do you mean about old technology? We have a 1219 JD conditioner. Works good, no trouble. But I thought it was old technology.

Older technology. I had one for 22 years.....

The new ones have a sheer hub to protect the gearbox but they?re also probably ten times the money for one like he?s looking at

Has the Kuhn cutterbar that is $$$$ and difficult to rebuild and does not have any protection if you hit something.

I would take the 1219 over a 1460. 1219 was and is a good machine. The good old technology, in my opinion.

I would rather have a good haybine than that machine. Unless it is in great shape and you have no rocks. Like mentioned below the cutterbar is a Khun and parts are way overpriced. I had a 411 New Holland that also used a Khun cutterbar with many of the parts being the same. My NH dealer told me to get rid of it no matter what color machine I bought. I bought a Deere 920 in decent shape a few years ago for $4000. Tom

I own a 2 1360s and a 1460. First one was bought in 1999 and its still runs good. I put 150-200 acres each year though it with 2 cuttings. If you buy parts from deere to repair it it can be expensive. There are other places to but parts that are MUCH CHEAPER. It might be true its old technology, but so am I. The hay that comes out the back of the newer high priced machines has the same value as out the back of my "old technology". It Does a good job without payments. Al
