Brady, I think that is the same machine as a New Idea 5209. Looks identical to our 5209 anyway. Ours is a gray one, but it's right there close to when they switched to the red paint on them. We've only had ours 1 season, bought it used of course. It needed the cutter bar timed, but that was easy enough to do. It doesn't seem like it has excessive play in in it. Anyhow, that's one big thing to check if buying used. It pulls really easy compared to our 1411 New Holland. I ran it with my 1655 Oliver with no problems with power. It has roll conditioners. I personally can't say which is best, rolls or flail. I hear flail is better in grass, and is to aggressive for alfalfa. I've never ran or been around flail conditioning so I can't say if it's good or bad. Ours cuts good, pulls easy, and doesn't seem to require near the horsepower the New Holland does. Don't get me wrong I like the New Holland too, but so far the New Idea seems to be a lot less expensive to operate than the New Holland. I'm sure cutter bar repair isn't cheap and not as easy as the New Holland, but no issues with that yet. I've been long winded enough. If you have a question I didn't touch on, just ask and I'll try to help. I'm definitely not a expert on them, but I've learned a little. There's a lot of information from people that have them on the net. They have a overall good review.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
