[QUOTE="chh, post: 645053, member: 7659"] There are two basic bar types on disc mowers. A wet bar has oil in it and a segmented bar is in individual sections. There are advantages and disadvantages to each, but I will leave that at they both need to be maintained. The oil type needs checked daily and the segmented usually only yearly. I am currently running a pair of Krone mowers as a smaller commercial producer. I think they would be too heavy and require too much hp for you though. I posted a link on the balers post for MF balers and will post another one here for the mowers. I am not specifically recommending MF(they are good though), but I do like they way they lay out the spec sheets. If you are looking for a used unit these same specs apply to the New Idea mowers. AGCO bought out New Idea and now sells these mowers as MF. That should help you get an idea what you can run with your tractor. Generally speaking I do not like to run my tractors with implements that push the hp or weight requiremments of the tractor too much. If you have rear wheel weights or filled rear tires it will help quite a bit with the stability also. The link.
