i own a 488 NH haybine and the rubber on the roller is tearing off. I heard it is very expensive to replace and difficult. Is there a problem with using the haybine without rubber any other ideas?

Along time ago we had that problem. You can 'buy' a little time by drilling and tapping a hole into the roller where the rubber is peeling off and putting a bolt with a large fender washer to hold it in place. It won't last forever but it might get through the season. Eventually we wound up replacing the roll.

Without the rubber, you get no crimping action, so the hay won't dry as fast. With bits missing, bits of hay will be wet, bits will be dry, so it is hard to bale at the 'right' time.

A little bit of shipping won't make much difference on the price of those rollers. :)

Wow, you wore the rubber right off the rolls??? We had a old New Holland haybine 461 I think, and the rollers never went bad on it. We ended up junking it because the gearbox split after using it 30+ years, but never had a problem. Do you guys keeps yours outside uncovered maybe???

We've got a Haybine and the rubber is coming off one of the rollers. I believe it is from the summer we had a category 4 or 5 tornado go through. We walked the fields pulling all sorts of debris out, but we still ended up with studs trying to go through the Haybine.

Hi Jason,
The only time mine was kept outside was during hay season while in near daily use. Otherwise all our hay equipment is kept inside. I guess I just wore it out. Does seem like I've seen more 489's with replaced rolls than any other. Not that I've paid attention to it much

I've been using a 489 that the rubber's been peeling for three years. Had to quite using it this summer because the hay began wrapping on the rolls. No kidding on the rolls being expansive. Priced them last year was $800 for one $900 for the other plus shipping from NH. There is a place that recovers them. Priced them this year and they want $2500 plus shipping. But I like the pattern they use better. I'll find them if you like. Have the link in my other computer.

If you order rolls from a New Holland dealer and have them ordered on a stock order, you shouldn't pay shipping. If your dealer doesn't offer free freight to the dealership on stock ordered parts, find another dealer.

Our NH 489 lost the top rubber two years ago, was useless in long hay, would wrap in seconds. Almost 1300$ after labour to get it replaced. Always inside stored.

Some brands don't have the loss of rubber problem, case/ih mowers I've looked at have the stacked rubber with fabric for the crimper. They last until they rot out I suppose.
