I have mowed fields for my customers for 20+ years with rotary cutters. Occasionally I get talked into mowing a rocky field. I feel for the rocks with my front loader bucket, which works very well ( not so much for the bottom of my bucket ) but I still wind up bending and dulling the blades at some point. I use a shop press to straighten the blades, and then I resharpen them. Is it any better to use a sickle bar mower for rocky fields? I have never used a sickle bar, so any advice is appreciated.
