New Holand 488 getting ready for HAY?

An owner-operator walks through a used New Holland 488 haybine he just bought, cataloging its specific issues, worn bushings, missing rock guards, broken blades, fair-condition conditioner rollers, then shows the actual repair work: swapping rock guards and blades, including a improvised fix using John Deere keepers. Ends with a short field test confirming it runs. Best for buyers or owners evaluating a similar used machine.

An owner-operator channel focused on budget-minded, do-it-yourself equipment maintenance on their own farm.
