Re: Sickle mower of my dreams
I emailed the seller and they replied it was sold, even though it was still listed on C/L for another two weeks. Now the ad is taken down. Oh well, I'll keep looking sooner or later something will be available.Eugen wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 10:04 am It's a good thing he hasn't sold it yet Harry. Hopefully it's something you can use. I parked my large sickle bar mower now in the yard, it's a nice ornament (says my wife) at the very least. Hopefully I can do something with the cutting bar next year. It will be a difficult project for me, but I like that challenge.
Looking forward to seeing what you might be doing with yours if you get it.
Keep the Peace

Re: Sickle mower of my dreams
They must have figured it was the best way to transfer power on a variety of brands of tractors and control the cutter speed.
Would not be a cheap date today with a hydraulic motor and pump.
Sure be nice to have if it the price was right.

Re: Sickle mower of my dreams
I think it was to make it more universal . Taking little to adapt to different tractors.

Re: Sickle mower of my dreams
Hehe here’s my sickle bar mower. Worked good. And you can cut backing up. 18 volt, I think, hedge trimmer. Black and Decker. Just another typical weird idea I came up up with.
Good thing with Grunt is, it has a bull low first gear and on idle it can go very slow, if needed.
And some how I had it hooked up so when you lowered it it would turn on. And when lifted it would shut off. Hehe.

Re: Sickle mower of my dreams
Had my old mower out today to get some pics so I can get it listed for sale. It works but is a little too much for Ingy. The space it would free up would nice.
