The 1359 is essentially the old New Idea 5209 with MF paint and decals. IMHO they are are very good machine. I'vae attached a link for a review of the original 5209 in white paint. The red ones were improved.
We looked at one very closely before buying our Krone 2801cv mower conditioner - a 9ft machine. What I didn't care for was no shear hub protection on the MF. Our decision came down to hp limits and price. We narrowed our search to a JD625 and the Krone. The Krone was a left over model from the prior year and the dealer gave us a smoking deal on a new machine for not much more than a New Holland 488 haybine. It is an impeller machine with gear swivel head - mounting to the two lower lift arms on the tractor. We have high skid shoes and mow at 5 inches - timothy hay.
I feel the JD 625 - an 8ft machine is very good too.
FWIW - New Holland just came out with replacement models for the 9ft discbine - the old numbers were H7220 for the roller machine and H7320 (I believe that is the correct number) for the impeller version. I am to hear that NH is clearing out these models at really low prices. I would not hesitate to buy one of these mowers either.
