Modern Tractor Discussion Board Mounted disc mower conditioner update [ Expand ] [ View Replies ] [ Add a Reply ] [ Return to Forum ] Posted by Ken Macfarlane on April 28, 2009 at 12:19:46 from (156.34.142.102): I bought the 10 ft Pottinger NovaCat that I went to look at. It was in really good shape and sounded good while running. It is a heavy sucker for sure, it was demo'd on a 65 hp JD 6x20 tractor and she sure let you know it was there. I also looked at a few other tractors but a MF 5455 caught my eye. Reverser but no dyna-4, just the speedshift w hi-lo. I ran it for about 40 mins and its worked great. High hours, 4000 hrs on a 2004 but well looked after except the steps. PTO shaft seal was leaking and the 1000 rpm shaft was likely the culprit. All rust pitted where the seal lays. Can't find a single other one for sale with that many hours though. Wonder if the first rebuild is at 5000 hours or 8000.
