What is the difference between the NH 488 and 489
haybines. All of these different model numbers
are confusing. Thanks.

Where to start? The 488 is built like NH's older haybines. It is almost identical to a 469. Basically, the 488 has 1 gearbox. The sickle is driven by a belt. The wobble drive is all bearings with an angled kingpin. The rolls are driven by chains. The roll drive chains (2 of them) and the sickle drive belt are all on the left side of the machine next to the angle gearbox. On this machine the entire head/rolls/windrowing sheetmetal float on skid shoes as a unit. Only the axel tube, spring supports and hitch remain on the ground so to speak.
The 489 is also numbered as a 492 and currently as the 1465. These are all the same machine. On this machine the rolls,windrowing sheeting, hitch, drive gearboxes all remain fixed on the wheels to the ground. Only the cutterbar and reel float as a header. It uses a gearbox to drive the rolls and has a gearbox type pitman drive. Basically with this design you have less wieght to float on skids. Both the 488 and the 1465 can be purchased new today. The 488 will run around $9000 while the 1465 with its more gearboxes runs near $12500. I don't believe either design cuts any better than the other.
