If the wobble box(es) are good and the rollers are good on the 499, thats not a bad price for around here in North Central Texas. Due to the poor service at our local New Holland dealer and the distance to the others I may be going full Green on my equipment. The only red stuff I'm running right now is 2 model 56 NH rakes, both of them going through the painy shop right now and one gettin all new tine bar bearings and new tires. I do have a 469 haybine as well and have cut more acres of hay with it than I would like to admit too.
As far as disc over sickle, both have their place but personally I would rather run a sickle, to me anyway it just leaves a nicer cut. Your cutting the hay instead of hacking it off with a spinning blade. On the other hand a disc is about all you can cut some grass with.
Can't help ya any on the combine question much, but just guessing I would say a 4 or 5 row head would as much as the ole girl would want, any bigger go to a 6620 or 6600.
Hope these 2 cents worth is helpfull,
Gary
