That's pretty cool. Not exactly what I was thinking, but probably way more useful. I didn't see anything about cost on there- any idea?

Better yet I could hang that thing on my backhoe and do some real sculpting...

Milkman,
Take one of those with a dead engine & hook it up to a QA for the mid mouth PTO or on the leading edge of the FEL. :2cents:

Another option that I've thought about copying.... modifying for my needs .

Sorry i didnt get back sooner. Just run another hose from one of your output remotes and that will work fine.

Really would not be hard to fab up. Get an old sickle bar and small hydraulic motor.

Several years ago, I saw a front sickle made out of the header from a NH479 hay mower. That included the rolls. The wobble drive was hydaulically driven from a pto pump. Tractor was a JD 4430 and also run with a 4020.
That's a 9' sickle mower for you. Is that enough? Or, would you prefer to have a 12' 499? These mowers go thru 3/4 to 1" saplings all the time, but, they are not shredders. Its "cut once and its done cutting".
