They seem to be we have a jd 1350 now and get on well but can’t think of many others around now. Think the waggon is replacing them on smaller acreages

What kind of power do you need in front of the 1350

Is it a big job changing the drum bearing on an 1100,guess it's the same process for them all

150hp should see you right
We have 200 and could use more however I think it gives the chopper less grief if we drive to as fast as the tractor will go

We had a 11090 on a 900 cutting about 2000 acres per year harvester was in good condition after the season , the following year we put a 16090 on the 900 ,it was a tough wet season and the harvester was wrecked after the year ,only got 4500 for it as a trade in at 2 years old

A cow...

Similar output on both, my 1100 used to manage heavy grass better. The 1050 has a higher drum speed and could blow dry grass better. Also the lower geared reverse on the 1050 was better

JF will give you more output per hp than any other trailed forager, just a pity they elected to build them out of rover biscuit tins.

That's it in a nutshell the shafts and sprockets seem to be the same size as a taarup but made of lighter steel and the shite was no heavier than a rover biscuit tin ,v bad steel all over and parts were expensive enough ,it cost me more to keep a jf going for the season than the jd selfpropelled that was bought after it

If you service them thoroughly they are not too bad if you run them hard without serious preventative maintenance then they will burn a hole in your pocket.

Best thing to do is take the gearbox off the 1050 and put it into the 1100. Gives the performance of a 1350 but with the narrow pick up.
I’ve got an old 1100 in the shed that I did just that with. 1050 gearbox, but also 1050 feed roller hinges so it opens nearly twice as wide as a standard 1100. It’s some machine, but looks a bit sorry for itself having seen no grass for a couple of years.
Anyone who’s interested make me an offer!
