We have a 479 New Holland haybine. Dad usually cuts hay we rake and bale together. Well today while I was at work dad was going to knock down 10-15 acres. Didnt happen. Haybine wouldnt cut well and plugged up. At 80 years old, and his limited physical ability he wasnt able to get it going again. I understand that. Brother in law to be came over and got it unplugged. I guess dad had an issue 2 days ago with it not cutting well. He had my brother come over and try to sharpen the knives in place with a 4 inch grinder. Apparently that didnt work. I have not been there. Work starts at 6 am and not getting home till 7 or 8 and its well over an hour away before anyone says I should have taken care of it. So question do you guys sharpen your knives, buy a complete bar with knives, or just replace the knives? Im guessing just replace the knives. Last time when dad was more agile he replaced the entire bar which had new knives. Like I said dad was always in charge of cutting and I raked and baled. I should know this after making hay for 30 years, but that was his thing and I never questioned what he did. Sorry so long.
