Sickle Bar Sickle Bar Mower

   / Sickle Bar Mower #11  
Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but I've chopped down lots of stuff larger than 1/2" with my Enorossi sicklebar. I ease into it. the shrub starts shaking, and TIMBER! Never had a problem with the guards. To be fair any rocks I might encounter are too large to fit between the guards.

Try different speeds. Emperical observations. Is sickle cutting speed independant of your forward speed?

Mow at the lowest tractor speed and at the the highest PTO speed... This is the best to cut the grass in general and the wet grass in particular. However, your PTO speed will have to be limited because the technology in the sicklebar mower won't permit you high linear speed in the knife bar. So, find the highest PTO speed till you break somethings by real field scientific experiements.

How is the Rug & propane cannon business, Nomad?

Mark, why do you always pick on Nomad? Does he push some button in your psyche that hurts? Sometimes you're just going for the throat, without reason it seems. John

Thanks for the insight. How important is the grass catcher/board on the end of a sickle bar mower? Mine is clogging up on the opposite end, pitman end. Is it because the grass cut on the last pass is falling to close to the uncut grass on the next pass around the field?
Also noticed that the guards near the pitman end of the bar seem to have more space between them and the knife. Could that also cause tearing rather than a clean cut? If so, I am not sure how to adjust that? Just by shimming? Probably do not want to try to bend the guards with a hammer?
Thanks,
Craig
