Thankful for the In-laws

Had the knife bar break on me after the first two acres of ten. After trying to weld it and it failing I called the Father-in-law and after a few hours had his JD 7220 with 9 foot disc mower at the house to finish the first patch before dark. It was quite nice having AC and a radio and going about 7 mph rather than 2 or 3. Only thing is it did not lay the hay down as nice as my sickle mower, kinda windrowed it a bit. But is was nice when I went to get the little slivers of hay left I didn't need to worry about plugging. Told the wife "I want one". That lasted like an icecream sandwich in you know where.

Look for a drum mower. They will mow almost like a disk mower but cost a lot less.

Know what you mean! Have to use a sickle-bar to
appreciate a disc or drum mower. Have went from a Mt
JD. Sickle- bar to a 126 Kubota GX. And drum mower.
Air ride seat air-conditioning. Big change. Don't
want to go back. Vic

I agree with JD... Have drum. Never going back.
