Side Mower

[Anonymous Poster]

I saw a fellow using something one time and now that my county isn't doing any spraying or mowing wish I'd stopped and talked to the fellow.

What it was, was a simple offset mower. It wasn't a typical deck mower it looked like a giant version of an electric hedge trimmer, a set of blades that acted like multiple scissors, they went back and forth at a speed (at least when I saw it) much slower than the blur of a hedge trimmer. It was a 3pt setup running off of his pto. Anyone seen something like this?

If there was a ditch it could be angled down quite a bit.

Is there any other mechanized way to mow at least some way down a ditch? I really hate those shoulder weedeaters.

thanks

del, that sounds like a sickle bar mower. Look at http://www.ssbtractor.com/page3.html and see if that isn't what you saw.
