Hyd drive sickle bar mower
 

Have any of you guys ever seen one of these? If so who made it? It looks a little like a Haban but I have never seen a Hyd driven Haban.

I added the pics just incase the link goes away

I've never seen one. I saw that today. Someone posted it in the CL section.

Know nothing about it, but from the look and design of it, I'd say its something newer adapted to a fit the cub.

:popcorn:

Yep that's where I noticed it also. Thought I'd post it here to see what I can learn about it.

No hydraulic pump option on that 147 either. And even if it had ported hydro i wouldn't think it would have the volume for it. I wonder where the pump is mounted and the controls. Hmm. :bigthink:

Edit: I see the mule and belt now. Would like to see what's going on under there and where the reservoir is hidden, thought for some reason it would be pure hydraulic.

The pump is run off the front pto,see the belt coming off it.It has to be a self contained system ,like a danco loader.Maybe if you call him he can possibly give you a name and model of it.

Did a little more digging and found out what it is. Go figure the answer is right here on OCC.

Interesting item.

looks like a good buy for $600.

Except that he's asking $750.00. Your close you should get it, you don't have one so you must need one.:biggrin2:

I have 2 sickle bars,but not a HYDRO one,hmmm

If I remember correctly didier was bought out by haban. They made only a few that actually fit cubs. I believe Nashcub had one but sold it to another member here. Didier hydraulic sickle bars seem to be popular on Deere's. I know of one that fits a Deere 317 and alike. They are cool!!!
