What mowers would be a good fit on my 4000? I'd like a sickle mower to keep my pastures mowed and for cutting hay. A neighbor has an old Dearborn for sale, but it's too small to fit. Any ideas? Thanks.

Rick I own a New holland 450 that works a good as any I have used. It runs the knife by a belt rather than a pitman stick, making it quite smooth. Its easy to hook up and should run fine behind your 4000. I beleve it has been replaced by the NH 451. The Massy Ferguson dyna-balance mowers are supposed to be half decent machines. Can not offer any advice on the Dearborn other than recommending a pitmanless machine. Good luck. Roy

A pitman is a stick about 2x2x4 that is used to rock the blades back and forth. Causes a lot of vibration. On a 4000 you would not notice much but on a 2000 you could tell. Also, once they get old the pitman arms tend to break at the most inconsiderate time. The are available for about $10.00. I have a Ford 501 on my 3600. Love it!

Thanks for the advice, Roy. Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by a "pitmanless" machine? Thanks again, Rick
