Probably slightly worn holes allowing the bolts to wear and then break. Also check the register on the sickle and make sure if any adjustment is available that it is adjusted correctly. Also make sure you don't have any guards bend up from hitting rocks, stones, or other obstructions.


Make sure you have good guards, sections and that the knife back isn't wore. Would usually eat up the rubber bushings in the knife head then every couple of bushings would shear the grade 8 bolt that connected the knife head to the box. If it's the bolt that connects the knife head to the wobble box it was a common problem with the 495 as well. Is it the bolts that hold the wobble box to the frame or the bolt that connects the knife to the wobble box? We used to have a New Holland 495, was a 12' cut but with a single wobble box unlike the 499 which used dual 6' sickles with dual wobble boxes. UT done a test on the recovery time on orchard grass cutting it at 1 inch compared to 4 inches and it was unreal how much faster it started growing than the grass cut close. We have started cutting about 4 inches high and it has helped a bunch with keeping a good stand of grass. Also the quality of hay you are cutting can help help you decide whether you need the1110 or a disc mower. It will be a lot slower than a disc mower. I would check it out and if it has been well maintained I would not be afraid of it. Dad uses the 1110 all the time and it does a great job crimping the hay.
