I purchased on jd 1219 haybine last year and used it very little, have not used one before, only sickle mower. was using a jd 730 to operate it.
when lowering unit it seems to drop fast and i think that it hits the ground kind of hard. is this normal? I have adjusted the bolts on the spring so that it will lift up at about 100 lbs.
is there something else i should be looking at.
Shoes seem like they are beat up some.
If anybody has some shoes/skid forsale please a-mail me. Thanks

You can feather that drop by not pushing you leaver all the way forward until you are almost down. I pulled a 1219 with a 730 also and this is what I would do to keep it from dropping hard. I am not sure but you may have a flow control valve that you can controll the speed of the drop. Most tractors do. I have not looked at my 730 all winter and it is about 2 mile away. And my manuals are about 3 mile away.

I added a flow control on the single line that feeds the cylinder. Point the arrow towards the tractor remote. Then set the flow so the conditioner comes down at a smooth slower speed. It'll still come up fast but slower going down.

You had better make that 4 acres an hour. You would have to push hard to get 25 acres in one day. At 25 acres an hour you would not be cutting much material. I have ran conditioners for 20 years. So I know a little about them. I have seen those jobs where they dove in road gear and they slobber over it and leave half of the crop in the field.

Using a 1070 case and a 1209 and with a sharp sycle running in 9th gear we could knock down 80 acrea of alfala in about 4-41/2 hours day in and out

I call your bluff. 80 acres is 3,484,800 square feet. Divide that by your 9' cut, and you have to travel 387,200 feet to mow it, and thats not including turns. Those 387,200 feet work out to 73.3 miles. To finish that up in 4 hours the tractor would need to run 18.3 miles per hour. And that is with no turns.

I can do about 35 acres in an 8 hour day with my 1219. That's running a comfortable speed (NH 3930 in 2nd or 3rd gear) on semi-smooth ground. The rougher fields take a bit longer. Mine drops fast if I just push the lever full out, so I just feather it down. Also, if you're handy with a welder, or know someone that is, you can re-plate those shoes and get a few more years of life out of them.
