There maybe one safety issue regarding a sickle mower you may not be familiar with. Watch were you place your hands when you lift the bar to secure it for traveling. DO NOT place your fingers between the teeth and guards, the section WILL shift/slide and you'll be without some of your digits.
By the way, my cousin and his neighbors annually put up 12,000 (yes 12,000) square bales with a Farmall 'A' and PTO baler, also using a sickle mower, and rake. I'm not saying it's the most efficient means to do that must baling, just that it CAN be done. Stay safe.
