I have a NH616 disc mower which works very well after you get it on the tractor. I use it with the 3 point hitch on my Ford 5610 which is sized correctly for the mower. It is very heavy and seems to take an army to get it on the tractor. It can not be "man-handled" by any number of people and once it is on the tractor it stays until all the hay is cut for the year. After what I go through every year mounting it on the tractor I would forget a 3-point hitch machine and look for some mowing device which pins to the drawbar. The difficulty mounting it on the tractor makes extra tractors a necessity for raking, baling, etc. New Holland makes a dolly for the NH616 but looks very heavy and is very expensive I have found. I have neighbors with other brands that seem to not have the mounting issues I seem to come up against every year. We just put it on the tractor yesterday and took 3 men almost two hours to hook it up. I would certainly request a demo to mount the disc mower to your tractor before buying one so you know what you will be up against, Hal.
