Need help!
Does anyone know how to hook up a NH 451 sicklebar mower to a JD 990 tractor??

I tried to do it today and found that the JD's three point hitch is too narrow at the top. I finally just used my top link to the frame of the NH, bypassing their set up, but also making it impossible to raise the mower.

I also have a NH 451 mower as you described. On my JD 4500 I chained the top links together and just picked it up with a quick hitch. It worked ok, you just don't have the flexibility of the sickle going up and down as you raise and lower the mower. I am working on a solution to add a hyd. cylinder to do that.
