What size acerage? How heavy a tractor? How much horsepower?
These are issues that should have been stated I think. A bigger tractor cost more per hour to run. A more expensive mower cost more per acre, & You have to guess whats going to happen to farming over the next few years, & beyond. Discmower blades are more likely to break over a sicklebar from what I hear. In 1977, or 78 my dad bought a New Holland "489" haybine we averaged at least 75 acres (based on 3 25 acre cuts / yr), & kept it until 1985. I dont ever remember any single item on that machine breaking, or bending, or wearing excessively. I only remember it jamming up once, & that happened because the header skids were not set correctly. Knowing how that machine was; I wouldnt want anything else. Except for a newer model which is almost the same. My Grandad said many a time that "Faster doesnt make things better often; if it costs a lot more!". If speed is all Your after then OK; But if not!!! In this case a couple of advantages, & lots of disadvantages... Just my opinion!
