Default DIY pull behind sickle

Hi,

I had a need for sickle. At first I tried to find Haban 402E but these seem to be hard to find(rare). So I decided to build my own. This is modified from big tractor 3pt sickle. I made it pull behind version with its own engine(5.5 hp gas). Mainly because I want it to be easy & fast to attach and start working. Here are few pics:

Now that is great use of the old noodle... How about some up close shots and a bit about how you made it? The big tractor sickles are pretty easy to find.

Excellent job Tero!! Looks like it works very well!

How do you raise and lower the sickle bar? I may have to build something like that someday...it seems the proper Habans are becoming more difficult to find.

Great pics!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
