Sounds good, what's price differencei had my 7480 on @boyo's triple pottys a few year back and was mowing at 10 to 12mph on slopes
Slackened the condition hood!!Need front PTO unit aswell, would it manage doubles with conditioners 155r pulled down to 6k
Did you go for it? 2650 2wd here and contemplating one for topping with, McConnell topper9 is to slow, used to run a Krone AM243CV on it years ago which was 740kg, I still have it but the ram is rusted bad so unsure how much it would need spending on it to get it running again. The Pottinger Novadisc 305 is 650kg but the weight is further out?Looking at buying a used 3m pottinger novadisc mower. It’ll be mainly for pre-mowing in front of the dairy cows and the odd field for silage, would only really cut 5 acres in 1 go, but still need it reliable. Blades need to be easy to change. Would it be to heavy for a JD2650 4WD? Some of our ground is pretty steep, but we’d never be in a hurry.
TIA
Looking at a krone 280 easycut today, as the pottingers are quite rare, will report back if I buy it.Did you go for it? 2650 2wd here and contemplating one for topping with, McConnell topper9 is to slow, used to run a Krone AM243CV on it years ago which was 740kg, I still have it but the ram is rusted bad so unsure how much it would need spending on it to get it running again.

Conditioner or straight?Looking at a krone 280 easycut today, as the pottingers are quite rare, will report back if I buy it.
We run an 8ft on an 85 hp case here no issues at allFriend of mine run a 8ft kvernland disc mower on his 1640 John Deere with no problems so I’d imagine if it’s plain discs it shouldn’t be a problem

Until last year this was barn stored and oiled!Unless ram is leaking I’d be tempted to clean it up with wet and dry with some oil on it, in a rotating motion not back and forth along the rod and carry on. You could even drop the conditioner rotor off quite easy
Wow! Where has it been since, looks like its been taken from the sea!Until last year this was barn stored and oiled!View attachment 965921View attachment 965922
Not that far from the sea it was slightly stiff but still turning, hydraulic pipe and ram had rusted away and I needed space for straw so it wasn’t working when it went outWow! Where has it been since, looks like its been taken from the sea!
