do the NH discbines hold up good

[farmerswife7]

They do very well. Our oldest one is at least 5 years old.

[sf05farm]

thats a good thing have you had any problems with them

[farmerswife7]

Not really, that I know of. Most of the problems are caused by operator error or rocks.

[farmerswife7]

The discbine has a set of roller conditioners.

[sf05farm]

is that a 15 foot or 13 foot NH haybine and what tractors are on the mergers and haybine

[farmerswife7]

We use two 15-foot NH discbines. The discbines are pulled by a NH TM190 and an NH 8670. The big merger is pulled by an NH 8560 and the small merger is pulled by an NH 8260.

[farmerswife7]

1. We only use both mergers when the 310 (big merger) can't keep up. 2. New Holland FX58. 3. No, we have a backup packing tractor. 4. 7 NH tractors, 1 NH combine, 1 NH big square baler, 4 NH skidsteers, some miscellaneous other pieces of NH equipment.  The chopper got traded in for a Claas.
