Here's the deal. I need a sickle bar mower for my Kubota L2850. They're very expensive new, so I'm looking at used ones. I found a couple JD's.
Mower 1 is a "JD 9". The bar is slightly bowed but all the sickles seem to sit pretty close to the tooth guards. This mower has a gear drive between the pto and the pitman. It has a crankcase that holds the gears and gear lube. Asking price: $500.
Mower 2 is a "JD39". The bar is straight but the teeth don't sit as flush, I suspect the sickle bar itself is a little tweaked. The main difference is that this mower is a belt drive. Greased bearings instead of a crankcase. Asking price: $700.
Both mowers are 7'.
What do you think?
