Sickle Bar Question

[Daves Maple Farm]

Mahindra 2516 HST Sickle bar mower. Was looking at Farm Maxx and dealer can put me on a Rossi 7 ` with hyd for 3750.00 Good buy or not? Also will be used mostly to reach under low hanging brush and trim back my roadways. Dont expect any heavy duty work. Thoughts, and thanks.

Sounds like a good price. You might find a good used one at a better price since your not going to be using it that much. JMO

The price is about right.
Several years ago I bought a 7-ft Massey Ferguson 31 sicklebar at auction for $550 and put in about $150 in new parts. You can find these deals on eBay and craigslist all the time. And you can get refurbed 7-ft sicklebars here

for less than $1500.

Good luck.
