OK gang, got a performance question about sickle mowers under Cadets. First, I'm assuming Haban was the only people to make them, or that they are the most plentiful? Now for the performance part, how well do they work? To define well I'm talking about comparing them with tractor sickle mowers. I've run 3 different ones over the years that are great. I've ran one under a Farmall Cub, a semi-mounted Deere from the 60's or 70's (great machine, just pitman drive) and we currently run a belt drive balanced head IH machine 7 ft blade, semi-mount. The Deere and the balanced head IH will cut through most anything. I'm talking stuff 2-3 foot tall, ditches, road banks, around ponds, dense hay etc. I've cut plenty of hay that was rank enough to where you could feel the side draft in the steering wheel. How will a Haban work in those conditions? Is the angle of the blade pretty much infinite?
