Sickle Bar Cutter, rule of thumb sizing?

[jimmysisson]

It's maybe not the power (they don't use much) but the weight hanging off one side. I wouldn't want a 2000# tractor lugging a 600# mower on the three-point. Those mower arms are hefty and hang way out.

The 5' Feraboli Sickle mower would work great on your tractor! They have a double action cutter bar and will mow 90 degrees up and 45 down.

Yes, Ted, I think that when I am ready a 5'er would indeed be ideal.
I did not know a 5' model was available, now I know from this thread.
Obviously what I do not know about tractors will fill volumns and volumns,
I appreciate the inputs from all.
