If you are referring to my post, it's a New Holland model 47.

I bought this one - Maschio 175 - from my local tractor dealer in june 06 for a little under $3K. Has hydraulics to lift/lower the bar. Works just fine.

Just so you know, 2 years ago I went on the search and found a IH 1300 (non pitman) 7' mower and 2 spare blades with new knives for less than $1600. Only needed some paint touchup, lube, belt was as new.

I have been very pleased with it. I use to mow banks both up and down. I would like to know if I can add a hydrolic lift without putting undue stress on something. Anyone got help?

Best Neil

I have been looking for a sickle bar mower for almost 1 1/2 years. Most everything I have seen is junk. I am seriously considering buying a new one, I am afraid to ask this question has anybody priced one I want this to mow around my ponds and ditches and along the road.
thank you

I have 3 sicklebar mowers:

- A 1950s' 7-ft Allis Chalmers 80T trailer mower ($150). Cuts OK, but I'll be changing the sickle sections and ledger plates soon.

- A 1960s 7-ft Massey Ferguson 41 3pt hitch type ($550). I have about $200 invested in new sections and guards.

- A 1950s 6-ft Farmall mid mount mower that came with the Farmall Super A tractor I bought last year ($1300 for tractor, mower and rear scraper blade).

Sure, you see a lot of beat up sicklebars, but if you keep looking, something suitable will show up eventually. Just remember that you'll have to do the maintenance on the mower to keep it cutting efficiently.
