Re: Sickle bar mower
It's main use (at least for me) was cutting hay, but I have found it works pretty well on my Bota. Now-a-days, it's used to cut the meadow once every 6 weeks or so. Doesn't need high HP to run it (as long as its sharp) and gives me a 7' cut. High maintenance though. Its a pain to keep sharp, and it must be sharp to cut meadow grass. It works OK up to a 30 degree incline, good for along the driveway and over the edge of waterways.
