Subject: Re: sycle type mower vs discbine



"After a weekend using a neighbors moco I think the best thing for my uneven ground conditions would be a sicle bar type with wheels or skids very close to the cutter bar, not way in the back as they are on most mower/conditioners."

I think you need to define "uneven". I cut a 10 acre patch the other day with the Vermeer with no less than 3 waterways in it with fairly steep slopes. I only had one where I finally had to cut the water way out because it got too steep to cut across. It was probably a 45 degree slope about 6 feet long. The wheels on a moco don't have a whole lot to do with the height control of the cutterbar, although, the positions of the wheels in relation to the cutterbar does obviously relate to the amount of downpressure or lift the cutterbar has in relation to the ground. In other words, what I'm saying, is you needed to adjust the shoes, the cutterbar tilt, and the float springs, to make it do what you wanted to do.
