Sickle Bar Mower

[Hairtrigger]

Why do I keep looking for a Sickle bar attachment even though I remember using one when I was a kid on the farm pulling it behind our Oliver Super 77 and keeping sharp blades on the bar and knife was a royal PAIN

And it prolly was a "New Idea" rope trip, and you had a sore neck after a day of mowing,and looking back to see if it was clogging up from heavy hay.
3 days later it was forgotten because your back was sore from stacking bales on the wagons.
All the while with treating rain clouds overhead and 90% humidity
I sure miss my cattle, but hated the haying.

It is almost like you were with me!

We used a Dearborn Bailer with the Wisconsin four-cylinder engine that made 70 pound emails and I was always a scrawny little kid

I have a IH #45 baler that is notorious for loosing knots on light hay/corners
or run faster than,
one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three count of the ram stroke.
The Baler was a fence row gift, so I used it.

if the weather is threatening it will miss more knots
But memories are made of good times and bad.
