I started in 2009 with a john deere 1209, it has given great service...replacing guards and sickle when needed...had to put tires on it this year..I was planning on unloading it this spring and making the jump to a disc conditioner. Another local hay guy that has a 1209 is having gear box/wobblebox problems ...knew I had mine and made me an offer I could not refuse...so mine is gone now...and I am trying to sort thru the wealth of information out there to see what is going to fit my operation best. Why is there not a general rule of thumb...if you cut this many acres then your operation should have this size/type mower. I know everybody is different and it boils down to personal preference...and what you want to spend...but how do big operations decide to buy a self propelled machine vs. a large center pivot mower?? for me that question is 9' or 10' I am a part time hay guy full time town job guy with flexible work schedule. I do about 65 acres...4x5 rounds/small squares. I have decided on a new holland machine...but am struggling between taking the plunge and buying a new 7220...or searching the world over for that diamond in the rough used 9' discbine...like a 1409. I am way more comfortable with the 10k price tag on a used machine...but with the 20k price tag on a new machine...you get a warranty & no surprises...HELP!!
