Hello All: I tried asking about these implements on the JD Board but I only had one reply, which was very helpful. Late last week I found a implement dealer that I had never seen before and stopped by. He had a No. 9 Mower (3-Point) that was in decent shape - the decals were all there and the gearbox/PTO looked fine. The sickle bar itself had no paint and had surface rust. He wanted $300 bucks for it. MSB suggested that this was a bit high - I only really want to mow the grass down around my house for now - hay possibly someday. the Grass closest to the house is blue grass and the rest of it is what I call Prarie Grass and some weeds with some clover thrown in for good measure. My logic for possibly getting it is that my rotary/bush-hog has sat outside for the last 12 years and I am worried that its "toasted" to the point of it being inoperable. (On a scale of 1 to 10, this mower is a 5.5) He also had a Fergie 3 bottom that was in good shape and was missing only one coulter. Is it possible to get parts for Ferguson Plows still? I am going to be stopping by my Massey-Ferguson dealer and I was going to ask anyways. He wanted to get rid of it at 150 bucks. On a 1 to 10 scale it was about a 5 - just needed the coulter assembly and it had the long wavy moldboards. Then lastly, he had a JD 1240 Plateless that he wants to get rid of for $150. The right marker is slightly bent, but over all its in decent shape and was shedded its life and its about a 7.
I want to plant sweet corn with it. I wanted to get a 3 point planter, but at prices closing in on $700 dollars for a decent one, I figured it would be ok. I'd be planting about one to two acres of Corn. As far as tractors go, I have a Massey-Ferguson 135 to pull it with. I appreciate any advice you all can give me Thank you! Christos
