No,Ours never have Hydraulic lift. It is "Rare" If it has factory Hyd lift. It is a steal a the price we were discussing via PM. If it has been added on, cut the value in half. Ken Sweet

Seller says cylinder is not OEM, but he thinks the mounting loops for it are. Maybe the cylinder was replaced sometime later after it was purchased....

If the mounting brackets are OEM, the cyl really doesn't matter. Ken Sweet

Thanks to all that has looked at this mower and especially to the gentleman that purchased it.
Just wanted to let everyone know, that I have 2 more ready to go. They are refurbished to the exact same high standards as this one and same price. Ken Sweet

Ken,

I'd be interested in a hydraulic raise/lower 7-9' sickle. Can't find anything up here.

What is the benefit of a sickle mower? When would you want one vs a rotary mower?

Ken, You guys do some seriously nice work. That sickle looks new not refurb.

You can cut to the side of the tractor rather than behind. You can cut road banks, ditches, etc.
You can also cut hay since it "clips" the grass rather than chop it all up like a bush hog.
