I thought a haybine would be better for rough land?
How much hp are we talking for a 9ft discbine? I run a new holland 469 haybine now with my old fordson major. Very good on fuel, but slow.
They are better for rough land. Wait until a discbine cuts and sends a shard of rock through your tractor window and kills you. It has happened up here, in combination with many close calls. That's the only thing that scares me from buying a discbine.
Lets see or you could
walk out your door and get struck by lightening
or turn your back and your pet bull mauls you
or you could stub your toe and fall and crack your head and die
or you could be standing under a tree and a limb falls out and kills you
or you could sit down in your favorite chair and be enjoying a nice cold beverage and have a heart attack and die
or you could drive down the road and some idiot hits you and die
or you could go to sleep at nite and never wake up again
So Aaron I guess you need to just wait for the grim reaper to show up becasue there is only one given in this world you ARE going to die
and yes ALL of this has happened around here at one time or another
as fro a discbine throwing rocks yes because they run in a circular motion but if you are cutting that close or if your ground is that rocky then you should be brushhogging it not mowing it for hay and yes I operate in some pretty rough country and if it wasn't for rocks we wouldn't have any soil
if ya don't beleive ME ask a couple others on these boards what type of ground we have here in this part of the country
ALL of the Equipment we use on a farm in our everyday operations can and will kill you
the only time I have ever seen rocks fly out of a discbine is when the curtains are worn out or they aren't attached properly
