I know there are alot of different type of sections that fit my 451 NH mower. There are serrated sections, non serrated, double sections ect. Is there a website or some other location for information about which type to use in different forage types.

Thanks
Mark

Mark 1st of all what are you cutting?? That would help with guessing what blades you need. Always used serated blades and we still took them to town to resharpen no problems.

Mark;
Good advice from Paul. For all round use I found the nh underserrated sections worked the best on my 450. The smooth sections work good if all your ledger plates are in good shape, once they get worn the serrated sections seem to be the way to go. Roy

_Generally_ non-serrated works with serrated ledgers in fine grass hay; bottom serrated (bonus - can be sharpened) work well as an all-around general knife with smooth or serrated ledgers; and top serated sections work well with stemmy or dead dry stuff - alfalfa for example. Do not work well in fine grass with serrated ledgers unless bone-dry.

Double sections are good for combines on shatter-prone mature crops, more likely to break & not really needed in the conditions we run into here in the midwest for cutting hay crops. Likewise with the deep-serrated sickles I've seen of late.

In general if unsure, bottom-serrated is a good all-around choice. Again, here in southern Minnesota anyhow.
