My father bought one in 1977 or 78. We had then machine for about 10 years, & used it about 1000 one pass acres. It did not break down once during that entire time we had it! The only problem we ran into was that during the first cutting of the year we normally waited till about the last week of May to mow, & we had to set the header to mow high in some fields or the rubber rolls would wrap with hay, & stop the header reel! When I mean high I meant the depth gauge plates had to be in the 1st, or 2nd setting on the high side! If I was going to buy another machine it would be another 489, or the equivilent.

I think the 489 is an improvement. I have one with stub guards and I really like it when you get to the center of the field you don't have to leave a skip to avoid plugging you can mow everything off clean. The only thing I don't think they are the easiest machine to try and work on. I had a chain that drives the rolls break this past summer and I had a heck of a time to get in there to fix it. I ended up calling the NH dealer to come out since I couldn't get my big hands in there. Good Luck!
