I have a NH 615, which is an excellent machine. It floats over lumpy ground without scalding and mows at any angle. I"ll pass on good advice that was given to me: Take off the outer swath board(plate. This will prevent plugging due to grass accumulation under the machine when mowing with the bar down hill, and if it drags hay when mowing straight down steep hills, decrease the PTO speed and increase the ground speed.

I have always used a vicon, it pulls hard but has not clogged up. Always 575-600 pto rpm 6-10 mph just hold on. The guys here drive it like it don"t belong to them! gary

The NH 615,616, & 617 are made by New Holland. These are shaft drive mowers.
The NH 234, 235, & 236 are made by Sitrex with Comer oil bath cutterbars.

As said, the older ones are the same as kuhn. I have a kuhn gmd66. I paid very little for it at an aution, put knives and belts on it has been a very good one. If you get an older NH, and you have to get parts for it, try to cross refernce the numbers and call a kuhn dealer. My lift cylender started leaking and I did not fix it in time, it eat up the inside so bad it would not hold new seals. I called the NH dealer that is 5 miles from work. Did not like what I herd so I called the kuhn dealer about an hour up the road, an orange cylender cost about $140 less than a red one. Good luck.

NH disc mowers sold in New Zealand were Kuhn mowers painted red and sold under the NH name.
I have a 4 disc Kuhn bought in late 1970s and is still in active service. It did years of contract work, sometimes going 24 hours a day. It has always been a reliable machine, and never clogged up (it does not have any sort of conditioner on it). The bevel cut gear train in the Kuhn means they run quieter than some other brands. (Servicing tip: remove the discs occasionally, use a prick-punch to put a small hole in the seal of the top bearing [not lubricated from the bar lube oil] and use a needle point grease gun to fill the bearing. They last years longer)

Iv'e used NH, NI, Bush Hog, Kuhn, and JD disc mowers. They can all be plugged up it you try to cram too much hay through them but it isnt easy. Right now, my money was I buying new would be either the NH or Vermeer, price is more right on them than the others. But I've got a NI and it has been pretty bullet proof.

I have a new Vermeer and like it. Price was right on this particular one.
Looked an New Hollands, liked them. Price as I recall was a little higher than other makes, but not enough to be a deal breaker. The NH is heavier than the Vermeer and the NI, MF, Hesston, Agco which is the same mower. The NH is strongly built and will need a little heavier tractor than the others I mentioned. I'm talking about 3ph disc mowers only, no experience with disc mower conditioners.
