Follow up to NH 268 hayliner manual.

I ended up going to the dealer and buying a manual. It?s a reprint and they did not have a pdf version available. While I was there I noticed a New holland 469 haybine. I talked to the sales guy and said they took it on trade and the rollers are junk. I know it?s about $1500 for new rollers. Can this be run without good rollers? I cut with an old IH sickle mower now so I don?t have hay conditioning anyways. No experience with hay bines whatsoever.

Thanks, Ryan
 
How are the rolls bad? Are they just old and the rubber is delaminating off the steel, or are they torn up from poor maintenance of the drives so that one roller was "driving" the other? If just old might be OK, but if the P.O. let them get bad from driving each other what else did they let slide? You can throw an awful lot of money at one of those that is wore out. After years as a parts guy for a New Holland dealer I much prefer the wobble drive on the 469/479/488 over the 489/492/1465 series. Their is a place that recovers the your old rolls, and has a reputation for better conditioning than the original rollers, but I forget their name. I think there were a couple articles about them in Farm Show magazine.

I’ll call and ask tomorrow what the deal with the rolls is. They are asking $1200
 
If the rollers are junk, the rubber is likely delaminating which is worse case.

For $1500, you should be able to get a decent haybine.

I wouldn't spend $1200.00 on it if the dealer isn't going to stand behind it...and I doubt they will. A haybine that old in bad shape is a parts machine, $3-500 tops. You should be able to find a decent machine for $12-1500 if you look around some. Might have to travel a bit, but it's better than sinking $1200 into a basket case.
