I needed different haybine. My old one died last year right at the end of the season just as I was finishing up. The cost of repairs would be near the value and the PO had used it hard.
Was at an auction the other day and picked up an older Hesston 1014 swing arm really reasonable. It's over all in pretty good shape and looks like all it needs to start cutting is greased and a new hydraulic filter. Aftet I bought it I call my BIL to tell him I wouldn't be needing to borrow his haybine this year after all. His old bine had the frame rust out (his fault for parking it with the head on the ground all the time). He still has it and it's the same model. I can get all the parts off of it I want! So other than sections and guards I'd good to go for a while!
