[QUOTE="MosesR, post: 803756, member: 15246"] You said NH. Is it a 451? Dad did custom baling (small squares) for 30+ years. We would average 17 to 25k bales each year depending on the weather. The last several years we had a NH 451 7’, we would change the cutting bar every couple of days that’s if we made it that long without breaking a section/tooth (rocky here). To keep the mower in top cutting form we would sharpen the dull sections. It is just a matter of putting an edge back on the section. Only thing to avoid is do not grind the section to a point. When it gets to a point, just replace the section with a new one. They just rivet on with soft rivets. I changed lots of sections in the field with tools we carried on the tractor. To replace the bar when it gets dull? WOW! [/QUOTE]
