:letmesee: I think if you keep watching you may find one from one of them old tractors that had them. Also watch the old walk behinds, some also had sickle attachments.
It would be an interesting project. :smash:

Picking this beauty up today or tomorrow (sans the skeleton). Yeah, it'll take me a long time to do something with it but it came up for sale nearby and at a really good price! :bee:

I like the skeleton. ;) Looks in good shape. (The mower, obviously not the skeleton)
I have one of them ground driven mowers. I have pulled it behind the 4118 but it's more than it can handle in the thick stuff. The compact tractor handles it though.

I watched the market for something like that for a while Tim. They come up for sale rarely, prices are high, and they are too small. 😕

Oh wow that one in alibaba is hydraulic! So it's $650 with $2170 shipping :rofl: :$$: :$$: :$$:


Saw a few gravely attachments over the last few months but I think I'd like something wider.

I really like the sickles. I can remember as a kid the farmers using them to cut the fields with them. The link here is more for a home owner model. I never had a use for one, but I think they are cool!

Keep the Peace

@Eugen When you itch it is hard to keep from scratching. That is what keeps us coming back to this site.
