Picked up a 2 point C 28 Sickle for my S/C. Had nothing but problems and have not cut anything yet. Current problem is continual breaking of the yoke attaching to the mower drive shaft due to the severe angle. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi D.C., have cut many hundred acres with C28 3pt version. Just a thought but there is a trip mechanism that would allow the cutter bar to release and swing to the rear if the cutter bar struck a rock. You had to backup with the cutter bar on the ground to reset. In the tripped position the PTO shaft would not be aligned properly. The other problem with SC is the PTO output shaft is much higher up on the rear end of the tractor than a 300U. For proper operation the PTO shaft should be straight inline with the PTO output shaft on the SC. Then to get the proper cutter bar height you have to adjust the chain on the cutter bar lifting mechanism.

Good luck
JB

The PTO shaft has to be kept nearly l;evel to not break as you have experienced. I have cut many hours with mine and no problems.
You need 3 levers to make the mower function properly.
1, lift the hitch up so it levels the shaft and 2, adjust the leveling side-to-side, then use the 3rd lever for up & down.
Let me know if you need more assistance.
