I run a 1431 swing tongue discbine. The biggest drawback for me to go to self propelled is price. My 1431 is 3 years old. To go to a self propelled would have cost me 3 to 5 times more. That"s the price of a really nice MFWD tractor. I had a hard enough time convincing my wife to let me trade the trusty old 499 in on the discbine. I couldn"t afford the alimony, child support and payment on a new self propelled. The 1431 still cost me a night on the couch.

The only problem I have is that I have quite a bit of peat/low ground that is not friendly to the hydraulic turning, front heavy nature of a self propelled. I"d almost have to keep a pull behind and add a self propelled to my line up. That brings me back to the child support and alimony. Not to mention, my hay ground would probably become her hay ground... BW
