Haban Sickle Bar Mower on a 1641
 

As some of you guys know I picked up a Haban Sickle bar mower along with a 149 and a tiller.

Well the 149 is up and running and it will live with the tiller. So now it's time to see what I can do with the sickle bar mower. It's sitting under my 1641 getting the mounts figured out. Sorry no pics just yet, stay tuned. :beerchug:

Looking forward to this, Sam.

Looking forward to it Sam!:beerchug:

It's not finished yet? No pics???? :biggrin2:

:TTWWP::popcorn::popcorn:

sounds like a fun project. my only concern would be, seeing as there is no "ease" to the PTO on and off like an older mechanical PTO, if the sudden jerk of the pto being kicked on will snap the bolts from the pitman arm to the sickle section....i could be over thinking it but thatd be my only concern. seen it happen before! lol

either way it looks to be a good project.

Oh so Jealous, Really needing a sickle. I am in for pics as well.

Got the mount fabed up. Hooked it up and it runs. I can engage the PTO at idle so I don't think that will be an issue. Still need to build the rear mount. All in all with a little tweaking I think it will be a cool thing to have. I did make sure I didn't hack up the Haban mower just incase I ever want to sell it. Just cut up a mule for a Cyclops that I had. :beerchug:

Tough crowd, sorry for taking so long. :biggrin2:
