Do you have to cut a field in a loop or can you easily switch which side of tractor a sickle is on?

How thick can it cut? Can it be used to trim fasythia bushes?

Would this work for cutting down blueberry bushes that are up to 1" to 1.5" thick and a pretty hard wood?

I bought a used 7 ft New Holland sickle bar mower about 15 years ago when I thought I wanted to cut hay on my 12 acres. Decided it was too much work. Sold everything except the mower. Use it about 4 times a year to cut pond dam and ditches. Best $800 I ever spent.

This seems perfect for mowing tall cover crops and then raking them onto beds as mulch.

The sickle mower would be great in a few places I need to mow, but wow they're expensive.

Yes, the sickle mowers typically like faster ground speeds. A friend of mine uses their sickle mower for cutting hay. They cut 6-7 fields with their sickle mower 3-4 times a year depending on how the weather goes. It does a great job and they can go faster with it so it takes far less time.

I like your hydraulic setup, I would never have thought about using the loader hydraulics to run the hydraulics on the sickle mower without having to have rear remotes added at a much higher cost than a few hoses and couplers.

Tim, thanks for all the great videos and information. My father had a New Holland 455 sickle bar mower (7 ft). Is the limitation of the 5 ft bar shown in your video due to the 3 point mount? Do you think a 1 series (I have a 1023E lower PTO horse power than the 1025R) would drive a pull behind 7 ft sickle bar mower? To raise and lower the bar you would need the rear SCVs, which I do want. I have been browsing the internet to find anyone that has tested this out and can't find anything. Any suggestions? Thanks and keep up the great work.

Tim,the proper name is swathboard. Some people say grassboard. Early mowers such as horse drawn mowers it was made of wood with a stick that looked like a cut off hoe handle up at an angle. Keep the great videos.

You are better off with a bush hog in that brush/grass/weeds you were mowing. The sickle bar mower is for straight grass or hay only. The bush hog will also mulch better than a sickle bar.

Its brutal irony that for most of the time sickles were used the issue was the "goldilocks" issue. Too fast too slow just right. Well since all the tractors were geared and you need engine speed for PTO speed youd be trying 3 low 1 high 2 high 4 low. All day you would fight clogging up when going too fast or you would be bored to tears creeping along. What I would have given for a hydrostatic with a speed control lever.

I also used to have the pleasure of mowing ditches but with a narrow front deere A hand clutch with a #5 mower. And I'll tell you mowing banks and ditches on a popper is scary.

This mechanism is very efficient, light weight, and has low power requirements. There were horse drawn versions, after all, which were unpowered. That's one reason they're so quiet. It should use a lot less fuel to mow the same ground than other types of mowers. Especially the longer the grass gets.

You need a floating valve to mow really well and flat, else the end of the bar will be raised up when the tractor tips to the left (you can see this in your video if you look close enough)....

Only a farmer with a second source of income could consider spending $30,000+ on equipment to produce $500 worth of hay...but it does look like fun except for the money part....maybe the wives would prefer a vacation in Italy? Love your videos.

Tim good video. I have the frontier model I bought second hand I think I'm missing the pool cord and the bar that helps support on the cylinder so I'm gonna check into that. One concern I had and it may be an optical illusion from the video was the cutting bar should be at 90 degrees to the Perpendicular to the tractor and it looked like it was dragging behind in some of the video I'm looking at the manual myself to kind of see what can be done to advance it to be 90 or even ahead to the tractor to compensate for the drag of the ground. Thoughts?

Tim I’m not gonna be really critical. But I learned to mow hay with a sickle mower. And honestly I seen a few mistakes you made but I think those mistake were made because you are not used to mowing with this style of mower. There are some tricks to using this mowers that I’ve learned over the 25 years of running a hay farm. God Bless and thanks for the great video.

I build utility scale solar projects (700 ac and >) and we’re always looking for better ways to manage vegetation once the modules are installed in the array. Flinging debris and glass don’t go well together. How much debris does a sickle blade bar throw? We’re using 100hp JD tractors. Is there a scaled up model? Will this model work with a 100hp JD?
