When I was a boy, I cut hay with a side-mount Koch mower on an Allis WD-45 and a side-mount Allis mower on a WD. When I got older, I cut with a IH 990, then progressed to a JD 1209. Well, it was pretty much the same drama the whole time: sickle bars.
When I became a man (and left the farm to go to school) then my Dad realized how much they sucked and went out and bought himself a brand new disc mower-conditioner (JD 925). When I bought the farm from him, the mower came with it. Apart for changing out the knives once or twice a year (30-min easy-peasy job), I never have to touch the thing even though it's pushing 20 years-old now. My only advice is this: If you aren't mowing through rocks, look at getting a disc mower.
