In Reply to: New Holland 474 Haybine - Hay wrapping on rollers posted by Joe on May 17, 2004 at 04:05:40:
I really dont understand the problem I suppose. I cut hay with this 489 NH haybine and I have another 469 Haybine and we mow everything from small grain in the sping to 6 to 8 foot trudan and sudan grass in the dead of the summer, and Orchard grass and alf in between. I bet in 10 + years of running these two machines I can count on one hand the number of times I have wrapped the rolls. The only problem I have with the haybines is getting the far end plugged up in crops that have gone down or are twisted up from wind. I do rent a discbine when the crops get down bad, but 95% of what we mow goes through those two old haybines and they work great. We did have a problem with the 489 when the rubber started coming off the rolls a few years ago and had to replace the conditioning rolls but that was the wear on the machine. I have looked a getting a discbine, but the initial costs and the yearly upkeep on those machines really gets in your pocket. I spend on average about $200 each on the haybines to keep them going, I put a new cutter bar in every year and always break a few guards, but not many. I dont understand why everyone has trouble wrapping the rolls, what am I missing???
