Replacement mower

[Normie]

Looking for replacement front plain disc after writing off our New Holland mower last week. People’s views on what’s good and what to avoid would be appreciated. The following features would be good :-
STRONG quality blades that don’t bend
Good ground following abilities
Bed protection system
Good build quality
Capable of leaving a swath that will fit between the front wheels

many thanks in advance
Norm

Class or pottinger are doing the work with little trouble.

Just had a new Claas 'move' front plain mower this time very pleased with it. Cuts cleanly, follows contours brilliantly and easy to put on and off. The only drawback is that because it's 'pulled' it sits further forward than some. Put a camera on it to see out of gateways, junctions

SIP Silver Cut 300 F with S Flow hitch but as I think you may know already sold out for this season. Ticks all your boxes though.

Have looked in to one, but our local dealer doesn’t carry much in the way of spares.

Pottinger- more bragging rights down the pub. There. Close the thread.

How many acres are you cutting?
Availability at this time of year could be a factor. Can't go far wrong with any of the main brands, dealer proximity and back up probably more important.

He carries fast moving parts. Kramp UK carry a huge No of lines for 24 hour delivery

Could have krone, claas or Pottinger tomorrow but would have to wait for a Kuhn. All dealers within 20 miles cutting about 550-600 acres with both mowers a year.

You've narrowed it down to 3 then
Any of those 3 will be fine I'd say.

Had a pottinger novacat for 10years.

No issues at all.
