Sickle Bar John Deere 3046R sickle bar SB3107 question

[cooljoe00]

I was looking at a John Deere 3046R, but I was checking the compatibility list of the sickle bar SB3107, and this tractor is not in the list. Does any one know why? or if there is a sickle bar out there that is compatible with this model tractor.

I run one on my 3320 with no issues

This is the article clip that I am referring to.

Sicklebar Mowers
Rough cuts made easy. Double-action cutting bar makes quick work of
ditches, hay fields and varying terrain. These Category 1 hitch-compatible
mowers include hydraulic-lift cylinders for the cutting bar.

69-in. cutting width 25-50 hp SB3106
3320, 3520, 3720, 3032E, 3038E,
4005, 4105, 4120, 4320, 4520, 4720,
4044M/R

81-in. cutting width 25-50 hp SB3107
3320, 3520, 3720, 3032E, 3038E,
4005, 4105, 4120, 4320, 4520, 472,
4044M/R

92.5-in. cutting width 25-50 hp SB3108
3320, 3520, 3720, 3032E, 3038E,
4005, 4105, 4120, 4320, 4520, 4720,
4044M/R

The models 3033R, 3039R, 3046R are not in the list. The only 'R' tractor in the list is the 4044R. I was wondering if there was so kind of reason their not in the list, or if they still work on the other 'R' tractor just not listed.

My guess is the list is just not updated with the current models.

I would also bet the list is not updated. What will you be doing with the sickle mower? Ken Sweet

The double action will work well for ditch work if you don't get into woody plants and rocks. Ken Sweet

What is "double action" (in regards to a sickle bar)?

What is "double action" (in regards to a sickle bar)?

The guard bar and section bar both move instead of just the section bar, as seen on conventional mowers. Ken Sweet
