Sickle Bar Sickle bars - New Holland 450 vs Massey Ferguson 238

[hcf]

Have a chance to buy either of the above. The NH450 being a bit more expensive, but not much.

The Massey Ferguson is three-point mount, belt driven, cast head, so that makes me think it a 238.

They look about the same to my untrained eye. Is one greatly preferable to the other? Are spare parts available for both?

Thank you for your time and advice.

we had a NH trailer sickle bar mower for years and IMO they are the best cutting mower going, very little to go wrong with them and parts are available at Tractor Supply.
Also in my opinion NH knows how to make haying equipment.
