Finally, after missing my other one I sold a few years ago, I bought one at the big show today. Looking forward to gettin it in top shape.

I've always wanted one.  Don't know why, 'cause it do not have a use for one.

I haven’t had any use for one but it’s always been that “one piece” that I’ve been missing since I sold my other one like a fool.

I don't even know what they are good for.

I've got a ditch on my Ky. property where a sickle mower that could angle down would be really handy - except for the rocks that are in the ditch.....

I had one for 20-25 years before the move to Florida in 2000 when it was sold in the auction. After coming back up here in 2017 I started looking for another one. Finally, after running an ad, I found one less than 15 miles from here. A guy bought it in an auction and after realizing seeing that it was so rusted solid he must have figured it was unsavable. I didn't see it that way. Here's the thread.

If ya need one you'll know. Mine runs at about a 45° angle about 90% of the time. I keep the briars that intrude on the paths out back clear.

The Wheel Horse model doesn't angle down but a very few degrees. I've heard the Haban will go more but I can't verify.
