I purchased a used Grillo 107d with a BCS 47" sickle bar on it on Sat. The machine supposedly had less than ten hours total on it. Brought it home and used it for about 5 hours and then another two today. Was working a steep hill using forward and reverse when the sickle bar just seized up on me and the blade would not move. Shut her down and checked for sticks or other blockage, checked for any other obstructions but all the nuts and bolts are tight. The tractor still works fine just when I try to engage the PTO the blades won't move but the whole unit does try to rotate so rather than try to engage again I thought I would seek some advice from the experts here
There's oil in the gear box, and I lubed the blades before use. I did hit some locust limbs and the grass was pretty heavy but nothing that seemed like it should have caused this failure
Any suggestions on what may have happened and what I need to do to fix?
Thanks in advance
