Subject: Re: Looking for older reliable disc mower



Yorktown, TX
I cracked an old cutter like that, and when I put the remote in float, it came down too fast. My dad cracked one because a skid shoe was loose. Also, the only time I lift the cutter is if the turn requires it to swing on the outside of the turn (seldom happens). I will agree with the comment about the new mowers, but this guy is asking about an older reliable cutter. The Jd that I bought was also a repo from a crack dealing guy in Seguin, Tx. It was a yr. old when I got it, and I just had to pay off the loan ( $1637). There is no telling what the cutter went through before I got it (if the guy was lit when he ran it), but the price was right. It was my second cutter, and for a 23 yr. old trying to expand, it fit the bill. With the price mounted cutters are getting now, I can justify buying a Claas next time. They are the best piece of equipment, with simple and understandable engineering, that I have ever had experience with.

What are you going to buy that is not fluid filled, or are you going back to sickle bar?
