New Video-Wheel Horse 953 & sickle bar

[oldnugly 2]

I don't know how to link on this forum but I just uploaded a vid to youtube.com showing my 953 with 50in sickle bar in action. I think if you search "WheelHorseMDL953" that should get you there.

Looks like you were making it happen with that sickle bar, what happend right there at the end though? :thumbs:

[oldnugly 2]

Yeah! Two weeks of almost daily rain so I knew it'd be slick. Was gonna wait 'til tomorrow to mow but the forecast is for heavy rain overnite. Just had to back her up about a foot and she got traction---drove it to the stable. :thumbs:

Nice What did you do before you had the sickle mower?

[oldnugly 2]

"Nice. What did you use before you had the sickle mower?"

With water in the ditch 10 months a year and mud the rest of the time i usually use a Weed Eater lots of work and not much fun when the line hit the water! This is much faster and cleaner too!

I want one

Man, that would do a job on my ditch!!! Always wondered how well one of those

would work, and now I know. My ditch is deeper, so is it possible to angle the

sickle up and drive along the bottom of the ditch? That way you could mow from

the top down and from the bottom up to get all of a big ditch.

Yeah Jeff. When not in use, it folds up about 90 deg and fastens to the side of the tractor with a hook and eyebolt. The PTO will work when folded so I'm sure it'd work mowing uphill. This thing is "the bomb"!

now I'm going to have to dig mine out and see if I can make it work on the center attach a matic or get an old raider 12 running, just another priority shuffle in the projects to work on list.

Finally got a chance to watch the vid, that thing is

But who is brave enough to show their RJ with a front mount sickle in action? :thumbs:
