I know Dick just gave them a ringing endorsement, but I would like to give you another viewpoint. Basicly, they are a good machine, but I have 2 areas of concern. First, the rola-bar reel. It is EXTREMELY high maintance. Alot of wear points. Second, they are a pain in the you know what to swing from field to transport position. I don't know if you will need to do that or not. Otherwise, not too bad of a machine. Steve

Also we have had our 499 3 years, but it is a 1994 model we have only replaced a few pickup teeth. I keep the trusty oil can and the grease guns handy,and use them both often. So far no trouble with the reel workings.

Dick, I have egg on my face. I had a senior moment. I had the 495 in mind. They have the same reel, but are totally different otherwise. Steve

Steve. I thought you might have been talking of another unit. Sounds good. Pepper go and buy the 499, you won't be disapointed. Get a book from your New Holland dealer and away you go. Happy cutting.

I really like my 499, but it seems the rollers will plug up quite easily. Does anybody know what the hydraulic pressure should be set at on the relief valve? I am going to put a gauge on mine to see what is going on.

Our 499 rollers are loaded by the heavy spring with the crank handle at the back, on the right side standing behind the unit. Are you sure the rollers are set proper. I set ours at .080 in. Only time I have plugged ours is when I am going too fast in very heavy and damp crop. The hydraulics on ours only drive the knife , turn the condioner rollers and the cutter bar angle.

Hey Steve. When I go from field to transport I just get out and clean the cutter bar and set the stops on the lift and the lock on the pivot and down the road you go. If I'm not going very far I just clean the cutter bar and a give the Mighty 499 a good look and I'm gone. Not much of a pain in the anywhere. Are you talking about the same unit?

Bought a 499 three seasons ago. Good machine. I have not heard a bad word about them.First thing I did was get a manual for it and saw how to set variuos things. We have had no trouble with it. Make sure the guards are good and the knife sections also and away you go. Learned most by using it. We use it on straight alfalfa- alfalfa grass mix or straighht grass. Works good on all. Nothing wrong with the machine, ususally any problems are the guy running the tractor. Also cut our oat greenfeed with it. Good luck --you should like it.
