I'm still using a NH 461 First 9'cut they made. Dad bought a used 488 last year but I can still cut faster than him. The reason i I'm using the cutter guards off the old Ford Haymowers. they line up almost perfect ( just have to chamfer the back edge ) and the replacable ledger plates last a lot longer than those new two up guards. If you cant salvedge any NH is castin new ones but they are a bit pricy. Also Mahe sure all the guards are in a straight line. We made a bender bar for in field adjustment. Pry on them do not hit them with a sledge. With this cutting system you should see a 1.5-2 mph improvement. Any faster than that and the crusher rollers can't keep up abd you might as well just use a straight mower.
