Hello TBN. I'm looking into getting a new to me mower to replace my aging NH 477, keeping it as a backup. A dealer near me has a 492 and a 1465 for sale at similar pricing, $4750 for the 492, $5500 for the 1465. The pictures of both machines make them out to both be in pretty good shape. I plan on going there Friday to look at them, with the intention of pulling one home.
Opinions/experiences with these machines? Pricing seems to be in line with most other MoCos I've been looking at. Would it be worth taking the older 492 and saving a bit, or go with the newer 1465?
NH 492 serial number: 896697
NH 1465 serial number: 602566
To stir the pot and promote discussion, I'll throw in the 488 they have.
NH 488 $5750, serial not listed or shown in pictures.
By picture, the 492 has the best rubber. Rubber on the 488 seems the most worn. All three show better rubber than my 477, which has splits and some missing rubber near the center of the top roller.
