Can anyone recommend a specific haybine (make and model) that I could run with a JD 2010? Thanks!

I have an old Ford 3000 gas tractor with 40HP
and I use a New Holland 488 Haybine with a 9ft cut and it works great. No complaints.

Thanks for all the input. I have found an 9' IH 990 for $900 but I am still looking. The 2010 has a lot of power but the hayfield is hilly and I'm wondering if cutting uphill in heavy hay, like first cutting, will be too much....Guess I won't know until I try.

Used a 9ft 460 NH haybine to mow 30 acres for years through the 70s and 80s. Then upgraded to a used 488 haybine about 10 years back. Both worked great with a 460 Farmall gas tractor (about 50 horse).

not to make anyone mad but my experiances and what i have heard people say, then i would stay away from JD mowers. i guess they where alright when new but after a few years of wrok the rubber on the rollers start to peel off, cant leave em outside either, then the rubber starts to dry rot. NewHollands are good mowers just cant go as fast. i had a 488 9' that i was useing to cut heavy brome with and on the first round halfway around the field the wobble box went out, costed 200 bucks for a used one from a salvage yard. i also spent about a week and around $300 on chains just trying to mow 10 acers, i bought it used from a nieghbor who bought it new and he wsa never hard on his equipment. finally i got the best deal of my life, i traded a wagon running gear with dump for a 990 International 9' good mower used it for a couple of years then had auction....that mower was older and brought more then the 488 did. the only thing that went wrong was the first day after the guy bought it he was mowing a field that he wasnt really used to yet and on his last round he hit the hi side and hit a stump and bent it, we straightend it as best we could but you got into very thick hay the cahin would come off. now we have 2 more of the 990's a 9' for one farm and a 7' for our custom haying operation(eaiser and safer to drag down the road)the great thing about the 990's is they can be had for under 1000 bucks in good shap.....but the problem is finding one in good shape, that a person wants to sell....i'll post pics of our haying operation and both 990's in action if anyones interested? hope this helps and i hope i didnt ramble on to long. also hope i didnt strike a fight up on the JD's and NH's. i was just stating my past experiances.

The operator's manual for my John Deere 1209 moco gives 35 hp as the "minimum" hp requirement. Granted, I'm likely to use a 66 or 95hp tractor, a 2010 should have no problem with any of the 7-9 foot models. If you want a 16' hydraswing type, you'll need more hp plus hydraulics to match. My 1209 REQUIRES at least one hydraulic circuit to raise or lower it---a second circuit swings the drawbar, but you can do that manually if needed.

Hi, I have a JD 1217, I pull with no problem with a MF 135(38hp) and a MF165(50HP). You must have good hydrualics to raise and lower it. Bill

Most mower conditioners in the 7-9ft range can be run by a min 35 hp tractor.

Shop around for a conditioner in the 1000-1500 range, thats generaly any older model thats most likly be "well used" but still usable. If you go any higher in price you might as well buy hay or get some one else to do it.

Ive got a nh 472 7ft swather trailing behind my Ford 515 tractor out in my hay fields, no complaints,

happy new year!!

I run a 7' NH 467 with my John Deere 620 thats 48 hp and i know it could run a 9' If your trying to get hay dry,like for horse hay,and if your not going to cut that much,a 7' is the best Haybine.

A good running 2010 should run any 7 or 9 foot conventional mower/conditioner in most conditions.
