Kuhn Moco purchasing advice

dimanche 28 juin 2020

I had some questions about this MOCO I was looking at, I'm getting into haying this year with 80 acres right now hopefully expanding to about 150-200 by fall. I have a 100HP tractor so looking for something with some decent size, and being that I would be mowing a mixture of grasses, and on my fields I plant heavily in forage crops in the BMR sorgum-sudan and Millet varieties combined with humid summers wanted a diskbine moco to cut everything and also speed up drying. Semi limited budget, and fields are a bit spreed out so have to be able to haul either behind truck, or on flatbeds so center pull is most interesting, but I saw this Kuhn fc303gc for very affordable cost for what it is, needs some TLC work (mechanic of sorts used to working on heavy equipment) But Im wondering what people think of the cutting bar, it looks half decent to me, minus a possible leak on one cutter hub? and the left side hub deflector thingy has a crack in it. Are those big issues to fix that are thousands of dollars or does it look like a decently safe option to work with and then fix up all the way over the summer? Thanks!
