What kind of power do you need to run a 9 foot haybine? I hve a Farmall 460 with about 45 hp on the pto (I believe), is this enough? I don't want to strain it. I've been using a 7 foot NH 467 this year, with no strain whatsoever. Just wondering if I could jump to a bigger model. And if so, what model would you suggest?

Thanks,
- Jim H.

We used New Holland 489 haybines for years. I thought they were almost bullet-proof, given the acres they covered. The optional snub-nose knife guards are a must and will save some headaches. If you're looking for a used one, the biggest things to check on are the conditioning rolls and the gearbox for the knife. If there are chunks missing out of the rolls, or if they look like the rubber is coming loose, forget it. What I hear is that replacing the conditioning rolls is like paying for a new machine, so save your money.

Before we switched to JD disc mo-co's, we traded our oldest 489 for a new Haybine, a 1465. The only differences I noticed were a few more pieces painted yellow and one of the two drive shafts in the back of the machine was a heavier type. I imagine by now, you may be able to pick up a clean, used 1465 as well.

Good hunting.

Your H runs a pt10? Great!! there is a pt10 for sale by me for $1000 I thought it would be to big for my H. Next year my 300 should be done if a H can run it a 300 should work too.

I am running an IH 990 9ft Haybine with a 1949 H Farmall (27 HP) and no live power without any problem at all....the governor kicks in and the old girl snorts a little when the hay gets thick, but no problem at all....Your 460 should be able to practically idle!

35 HP should run a 9' haybine in most conditions. I prefer the 479/488 style over the 489/492. The rear tongue pivots are weak on the 489 design, the header float is not measureably better, and they don't cut as well. Since you asked about Haybines, other brands do not apply.
