Slywoody, I would like to see more pics of that sickle bar mower! I would also like to see attachment points! I could really use something like this to mow my road bank and the neighbors pond bank! that is an interesting build! Thanks Ken.

If you are wanting to have your pin location near the water hazard, then this is the mower for your pond trimming.

How old is that thing? I did golf course work about twenty five years ago. It looks older than the old we used back then.

I loved mowing greens. We did it every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Fairways were fun too. You didn't have to watch yourself quite as close. There is nothing like a well kept golf course. I used to get $5 and $10 tips from players. {this was 25 years when money was worth something}

... and reel mowers are used there because unlike rotaries or flails, they actually shear the grass leaving a cleaner cut with no tearing of the edges, so the grass is less prone to browning.

But that samuri looks like the bee's knees.

I am at work and don't have any more pictures of it with me. the mount that comes with it slips over the edge of the bucket but the previous owner did not like it and he got rid of it. when I bought it from him it would only cut straight out from the tractor so I fabricated a mount so I can cut horizontal, verticle or at about a fourty five. I am going to install a wheel on the end so I can let it float. my drive way is 3/4 mile long and it took me about an hour to do what it use to take all day to do.

3/4 of mile? If you go up one side and back down the other it should only take you about 20 minutes unless you are going way slow. Any decent sickle bar should cut at 5 mph.

I had to cut over the fence, under the fence both sides of the drive and then do the vertical down both sides. being it was my first time to use the samari I also had to figure it out.
