Does that price get you a complete bar or just the knives?
I made my own out of flat steel and sickle sections from a previous combine's bean head. I've had to replace a few of them over the years due to damage by foreign objects.
The only thing I don't like is that it won't drop down far enough to get the knives all the way out so I always take the whole bar out for doing corn. Taking it out is easy but getting it back in can be a pain in the rear.
