Wow,that's kinda pricey

I emailed that place that onefarmer linked to about new rollers for this Vicon discmower/conditioner. I asked for a ballpark estimate what it would cost for a new ones. They estimated in the neighborhood of $6000. I'd have to respectfully decline I'm afraid. Nice to know there are places that do that kind of thing,but that machine's a little bit too old to put that kind of money in to.

If your just trying to find rollers for that mower there is a guy up by Ithaca that makes them I think dad has the number if you're interested. He made one for our NI round baler for about half to a quarter of what a new one would have cost. Or you could make steel ones from round tube and weld your old plugs in the ends.

WHOA that's a fair chunk of $. I priced them for my NH489 a few years ago and they wanted $3000 if I got my old ones there. I bought new from NH for $2500 instead.

The Vicon Rolls are very different from all of the others. They are made of polyethelene.

Ya,they were going to upgrade it to molded rolls.
I called a dealer in Kentucky about the repair kits that were supposed to be available to repair those old ones. He said he hadn't had any luck getting them anymore.
