Anybody use a JD 350 3pt sickle bar mower? How did you like it? I'm thinking of buying one at an estate auction.

just as jdtech said pto speed and don't run too slow...my father destroyed 350 after 350 with the tractor foot feed letting off when it clogged up and dropping it back and starting up with foot speed it always broke the pin in balance head the one that always broke the housing that costs about $600...they cut good but they are expensive to repair....have nice day

As Johnny ssaid , they work very well as long as they are operated properly and set up properly. In my opinion , the most important factor to longevity, is to operate it at rated pto speed. A lot of people run these mowers at full throttle and shake the mower to pieces. When you are looking to buy one, pay close attention to the wobble assembly and the bolt where the cutter bar attaches to the pivot. If the bolts are all loose and holes are wallowed out, then it has been run too fast. My uncle had one for 15 years and never run it over rated pto speed. He also never had one bolt shake loose. On the other hand, I've worked on several over the years simply because the customers would not slow down the engine rpms.

these are the top of the line in sickle bar. They really perform good.

I run one for a custom baler for three summers straight, we cut hay every day of the summer it wasn't raining, he had three of use high school boys cutting. We had very little problems, went through a lot of sickles, pins and bushings though. If you know how to operate and set one up then they are extremely reliable and dependable.
