Depends on what you are cutting. I have both. If your hay has a lot of stem the haybine is best in that it cracks open the stem and speeds up cure time. Otherwise I prefer the disc mower. You can really travel fast with a disc mower and cover a lot a ground in a hurry, plus it is easy to change the blades. Hope this helps.

I haven't used the disc type but my understanding is that they can be used at a higher speed, since they don't have the sickle bar speed limitation. You just spin the knives faster.

However they demand appreciable more power at those higher speeds. Like Red says, the Haybine probably does a better job of getting the hay crimped. The Haybine also is a more complicated machine (has more, different parts).

So maybe its speed and simplicity versus quality.

I also hear the discs are hell in rocks, but then a cutter bar isn't any fun either....

Hey, the higher the speed the bigger the wreck. Somehow, the rock never really does lose. It's hard to inflict more monetary damage on it rather than what it does upon you. Up in the middle of Wisconsin you learn that doing rock slalom builds character and reduces repair costs.
