Mornin J,
My neighbor has a 7ft Massey Ferguson 3PT sicklebar mower that I think is well put together. Im not sure if they still make that unit or not. You could try calling a local dealer for info !

Check with a Deere dealer. Their "Frontier" line offers a new sickle bar cutter. I understand it's a knock-off of the old New Holland 451 which is a great mower. Also, I believe New Holland still has an updated (read EXPENSIVE) version of that 451.

Befco makes a great sickle bar mower. Go to their website BEFCO, Lawn & ground care equipment and check for a dealer near you. There should be some dealers that advertise on TBN that sell them also.

A search turns up several brand names, depending on your location.

New sickle bar mowers are quite pricey. I think a Befco model I looked at was 3 or 4 thousand $$$.

I've got over a $1K into my rebuilt 9' JD 350. Its a great cutter for my needs. I wish it could fit my 4310. Its not the weight or HP requirement. Its the need for my 3pt arms to reach out further behind the wheels and to spread wider to adapt to the cutter's frame.
