I have used both a haybine and a disc bine, and the biggest difference between the two is cutting speed. A disc bine with nice sharp blades will do an excellent job practically in road gear if conditions allow, but for only 5 acres, the price of a disc bine wouldn't be justifiable. There are lots of old haybines all over the place and if you keep a look out for one, you will find one cheap somewheres. If you were willing to settle for a shorter cutting width, you should be able to pick up a useable haybine for as little as $200. But be careful, there are alot of junker haybines out there that people try to dump at auctions, be sure that all the parts and pieces are there and are in good shape, also, most rolls (conditioning rolls) are very expensive, so I would reccomend not buying one that needs rolls. Look it over really good, and I find that bringing another person helps, because they may spot something you might miss. Also, you might ask the seller if you could try it on their tractor (or maybe yours?) to make sure that it is in working order.
hope this helps,
Jonathan
