I was talking to a New Holland dealer earlier this spring and they had a new model 472 - 7ft haybine as well as a 9ft model 488. They had several in crates too. He said in their area, folks that grew alfalfa still liked/believed alfalfa did better with a sickle than a disc mower blade.
We have a pop-up camper, bought it new in 1992 and still have it. One of the considerations for a pop-up vs a full size camper at the time was - the initial camper expense and the realization that you are forever tied to the expense of a larger tow vehicle. I'm glad we got the pop-up.
Same with haybines vs discbines (which kind of gets lost in most posts). Without a doubt, a sickle haybine will deliver the mail. I get it a discbine is superior, but more expensive and you are tied to a larger tractor and the expense of it. I could run my Hesston 1110 with my MF50 diesel, zero hp issues. If the tractor broke in half, I could toss it and find another $3,000 or less tractor to run the haybine. That ain't going to happen with the 70+ hp tractors.

Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
