Would hate to spend the money to buy and ship and then find out it is a piece of garbage. Just want to know if there are any machines out there with known troublespots. Don't mind using them and about all I can afford at the moment. Notice I am including sicklebar machines.

I have bought the tractor half of that driveline from another driveline sorce. That CV driveline from the tractor to the mower is about $3000 from CIH. If you do buy one with the CV driveline make sure the driveline is in good shape. My two suggestions for a Hesston/CIH are: try to find one that hooks up to your 3pt lift arms to get away from the expensive CV driveline on the standard models.

Pull it with a JD 4430 (130 hp sometimes it needs all of it ). It seems on Tractorhouse New Hollands are 1st and Hessons are 2nd on the number for sale. Going to be tough to find 12 foot model in your price range that's not shot. They are 8312 is a 12ft and a 8315 is a 15 ft model. I think a 1345 and a 1365 are the newest version/model numbers of the same disc/mower conditioner. Hesston models are 1340 is a 12 ft model and a 1360 is a 15 ft model.

New Holland would have best parts availability, followed by John Deere and Hesston/New Idea. If I do this, looking at around $5000 to $6000, in my yard. Dont say get a disc mower, need the conditioner and it would appear looking through Tractorhouse they are still out of budget. Looking a possibly upgrading in the next year or so, really like the idea of a hydroswing, due to the way I like to cut, back and forth, since I cut inside terraces that aren't quite parallel, would be handy to save a few point rows and wear and tear.
