I would try to go with a balanced head style instead of a pitman style sickle bar.I think you are on the right track as far as models to look at. Another possibility- I have a 3 pt Sitrex brand dual action type mower where both guards and knives reciprocate. It is less prone to plugging . There are several brands of this newer style sickle bar , most are made in Europe . JD dealers sell a Frontier branded one. They are very expensive new but if you keep your eyes open you may find one for not much more money than a real good NH 450-451 or IH 1300. Although I use a haybine to mow my hay I have used the Sitrex mower to mow some hay and it does a good job. I also own a Ford 14-92 pitman type mower which is pretty much retired now. If you dont need to hook-unhool the mower alot (enough tractors to keep it on thru hay time) a 3 point mower is good, if you will need to hook/ unhook the mower alot a trailer type might be handier.
