I'm looking for a haybine and came across two Hesston's. One is a PT-10 and the other a 1090. Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with
either of these units. How much power does it require to operate? Do they work well with Alfalfa? Now, I'm using an Allis WD with an International 816 haybine. The tractor can drive the haybine, but the haybine doesn't have a reel and keeps plugging. I'm hoping that a haybine with a reel will work better, but concerned it may require more power.

Thanks for any advice or experience you can share!

I've had both, PT-10 and 1090. The PT-10 was alot lighter to pull the 1090 is very heavy and pulls hard. The 1090 is not as easy to maintain as the PT-10. Neither one are what you would call the best built pieces of machinery. I would suggest a New Holland haybine.

I ran a Hesston 1014 for 6 years and did have plugging problems because everything that was cut had to go to the middle and through the narrow rolls. The New Hollands rolls were the full width of the cutter bar so I think that would work better. We cut only grass hay and the darn gopher mound dirt would cause problems if the dirt was wet. Good luck.

I've run a PT-10 in alfalfa for years with a MF-135. Most of the time I have run at 5-6 mph but in thick tall alfalfa have to slow down.

I've found that plugging comes from mowing gopher hills and from guards and sickle sections not aligned properly to cut. E.g. clearance between the section and the guard. The right outer end guards need some shims on the PT-10 to fit properly, since I did that, I don't have a plugging problem until I sheared a sickle section.
