I am in the process of getting equipment around for the haying season. I am forced to do so on a near zero budget. My uncle has a New Idea Cut/ditioner (maybe a 279) that I am going to go look at later this week. I have read all of the posts that I could find in YT. I would like to know if anybody on this site has any experience with this machine. What is the availability of new blades? Where are the weak points in the machine? Thanks for your help!
FYI, my intended use for the machine is to cut horse hay (Timothy & Broome) for feeding my own animals and possibly selling some of the excess. Looking to make 3000-4000 bales only.
I am asking this group because my uncle used it very little and only to make some hay for beef cattle but more for making straw, so he was less concerned about quality.
