Looking at a 2017 jf 10ft trailed mower. Think it’s a kongskilde jf 3205 is the model. Anyone know what there like. Looks strong machine, well built. Not much about them anywhere online. Any faults or should they be avoided.

That will be the GMT 3205. It’s a decent mower work comer cutter-bar and simple set up for suspension and cutting height. Surprised a 2017 model is already for sale?

It’s a demo mower bought new by a tractor manufacturer and used to demo one of their tractors working. It’s only cut 150 acres at most. It’s been Lay up since summer 2017. It’s as new. Just was know nothing about them

If it’s good value, Go for it and I say that as a competitor these days! Is it in Staffs? I re call JCB farms have to wait a long time for a new one so a demo machine ex Grassland 2017 was loaned to them. If it’s this one, they will have looked after it. The lads on the estate are top notch!

Sounds like same machine. It’s about 10 grand less then a new one. I’m thinking it’s worth a shot. I’ll let you know if I purchase it.

Just out of curiosity Martin. Do you know if jf have a sheer bolt or similar on the disc’s if you hit a foreign object. Save it doing harm to the bed?

No, when I left in early 2017, they were not using the shear line protected version. This is something that dates back to around 2009 when the then JF moved away from Kuhn cutter-bars. Comer make several versions of bar. Whether newer ones or the NH branded ones are using different versions now, I’ve no idea.
