I am looking at a couple of older haybines for sale. I don't have much hay so I don't need anything big or new. I found a JD 480 haybine for sale for $350. Can anyone tell me what vintage this is? Has anyone used one of these before? If so, how did it work? Is it worth it if it works ok?

Thanks

Oh, I almost forgot. John Deere has discontinued supplying some of the parts on the 480. I know from experience! They have some common ones but not all. The machine it self is not as well put together as the latter 1209 / 1219. They used a lot of chain drives on the 480's where the latter ones used gearing. Some one once told me that Deere purchased the design or had someone else make these first generation haybinds for them. I believe the 1209s were of Deere's design and much improved.

I was in the same boat as you, very little hay but needing a conditioner. I found a 480. I ended up putting a lot of new parts in it to keep it running, till the wobble box took a dump. I would remind you that you get what you pay for. If you do decide on the 480, I've got a nice parts machine for you! Good luck!

I have a 480 J.D. haybine the woble box was gone on it when I got it . I put a woble box from a 1972 selfpropelled J.D. in it had to cut the hole bigger in the base plate and oval the holes for the bolts plus cut a hole in the outer skin of the tin by the reel so the bearing can sit in it the stroke is the same and it works good now

mike this haybine is a late 60's model it should be a 8'9" cut they are the successers to the 1207's and the 1209s supposed to be great little haybines. if its in good working condition buy it.
