There is one for sale nearby and I would like to hear what they are like before I decide if I want to buy it or not. Thanks for your help Bruce [Reply]   [Send Email]

IF SO ,BEWARE 20 yrs ago , I bought a used Vicon (rebuilt) disc mower , It was Junk !,.. serveral years later bought a 1994 Used , Like new, New Idea declared ( rebuilt ) and field ready , After 30 acres it vibrated terribly,, Since I bought in Nov. Dealer ducked out on 6 month warranty,, it became a money pit , Sons and I would could fix the thing , but after a while it was vibrating so bad , It was gonna rattle apart ....... My Cardinal rule has become,.NO USED DISC mowers, especially discbines....   [Reply]   [No Email]

I have a NH, bought used in 03,have replaced the U joints on the conditioner and of coarse, knives,that"s about it. I am looking for a smaller unit because the land I hay is getting hog manure and my 15" unit makes too large a swath to dry between rains. Bruce   [Reply]   [Send Email]
