Unless you got our old one. Wore out rollers with rubber coming off made you curse every second. I'm glad I got a discbine with a flail!
That won't be any better when it is not maintained and wore out.

Basically what you need for a sickle bar to operate well, regardless if it's in a mo-co or standard mower is as follows:
....
-make sure the sickle has the right register

"register"?![]()
Makes sense... thanks!
As for the rest of the adjustments, once it's all said and done how much clearance should i expect to see between the knife and the bottom of the guard slot? I assume not very much, but i was looking at a my bar yesterday and noticed that in some cases the knives are sitting pretty much in the middle of the guard slot and i'm guessing that's not a good thing...??

if you just put hay through rubber (meshed) rollers and not limbs, barbed wire, old tractor parts, rake teeth or other trash, the rollers last a long time. I have the original rollers on my 920 JD and it's 15 years old and they are still almost like new, but then, I'm careful. Replacement rollers are costly and adversely affect my bottom line, so are cutter components, come to think about it, all parts are costly. I prefer to farm smart and make money.
