We have a 2002 NH 488. purchased new. I hear great things about them. I have no luck with this unit. It has been well maintained and cuts 160 acres a season. Several issues. 1st. The reel pulsates. 2nd. It has never cut a nice clean swath(pulls). 2nd cutting or 1st. cutting. 3rd. If the hay is not in perfect condition it will bang the rollers and bind up. We use a 584 IH, to pull the unit and doesn't matter what rpm we run in. I've replaced cutter bars and double checked tolerances on the unit. I would love to see the 488 live up to its reputation.
Thanks Lance Kerr
