I would think that if the mower weight falls within the 3 point lift specs it will handle the mower. The tractor has more than enough horsepower to operate the sickle.

i would say that the weight of the sickle bar shouldn't be a concern. we have a 5' mid mount sickle on our 45 farmall A and you can lift the tip of the bar with one hand.

as for the size, you might find it a tad big in really heavy grass, if so, you can shorten it, or slow the tractor down.

I really doubt that that is a newly produced mower. It looked orignail, with the pole being cut off so it will work better being tractor pulled. someone has made a halfhearted attemp to make a double whipple tree that would be used if 2 horses were hitched to it.

No, it is really new although it is a little rusty because it has been kept outdoor for months. It looks like original because it is a copy with some changes from original mower. This was made for two reasons; 1. hobby 2. for the fields like mountain or hills where tractor can't access.

Is that mower pulled with horses?

Yes, it's pulled with the horses. But a power of 30 horses (tractor) too can pull;-)

Ps: This small craft too is pulled by the horse;-) (see attachment)- I also do somethings different in my spare time. just for fun.

If you made, it is a beautiful piece of workmanship, and if you did not whom ever did my hat is off to them.

I have that mower and have run it on a 20HP 4WD with no problem

Actually, I am making such handcraft carts in a small workshop (you call "blacksmith"?) of a friend here and we make them together. He has wood tools in his workshop and I sometimes work there. just for fun. Thanks for the good words. Hand work is a joy.
