Just like everyone else available time & machenery capacity are limiting factors. I know I need to get bigger equipment & will within the next couple of years. In the interest of saving another pass with another tractor I've been thinking... there has to be a way to combine the disc mower & the cutter in one pass.
I have a 3pt mount, 9' disc mower (JF SB 2800). I have a 3 pt mount, 2 basket tedder (also a JF, just don't remember the model #). I have plenty of PTO horse power to push both (JD 6420).
My thoughts are, 3pt mount the mower to the tractor & then 3 pt mount the tedder to the mower... directly behind its 3pt. mount. I will have to figure out a way to attach the tedder's PTO shaft to the disc mower's PTO.
Has anyone done anything similar? Let me know both your ideas & what you see may be potential problems. The first problem that comes to my mind is attaching the tedder PTO to the mower. I don't want to spend so much money on this that the cost outweighs the benifit.
Think on it & share your thoughts.
Thanks, S
