[QUOTE="Galloways1, post: 862112, member: 13016"] for that few of acres, I would go with the disc mower. I have used both Kuhn and JD. Once I got more acres, I went to a discbine. I work off the farm, and have to do most of my cutting at night. A sicklemower, as well as a sickle type haybine, is done @ sundown and they do not like gopher mounds. As far as the blades wearing out fast, I think the operater might be running the bar at too steep of pitch, causing the tips to hit the ground. I put one set on in the spring, flip them around 150 acres and replace them after about 250 acres. At a few dollars apiece, the blades go quite aways. Discbines are expensive, but I can't always wait for the sun to shine, to make hay. [/QUOTE]
