I've seen sickle bar mowers in two setups ( mayb be more? but I've seen two types ).
1 is the standard.. mid mount.. like on cub/farmall, etc.
2 is in a tow behind or 3pt? setup for another tractor.
Any idea if anyone is still making sickle bar mowers? I currently have a belly mower on my 66' IH cub.. but it is a bit of a drain on the engine. I've learned how to angle it, etc.. and it cuts good now.. just no 'bush-hogging' with it.
I havn't measured.. but am guessing ine is a ? 40" deck.. dunno .
I hear the cubs can run a 60" sickle bar though... just as easy.
Anyone have info on either model? availability/price.. I'm assuming the tow behind is made for tractors with the standard asae 1 3/8 pto.. 540 rpm... not the cubs pto.. which is a smaller spline... which.. I don't even know the rpm of.. go figure...
