Sickle Bar Sabre Samurai

[woody]

I am thinking about purchasing a Sabre Samurai to help me maintain my 3/4 mile drive and 10 acre home. has anyone used or have any experience with one? the price is the biggest hold back.

I have one which I purchased late last year. Have only used it a little this spring. As far as I am concerned, it operates as advertised. It is NOT a heavy duty saw but it is great for cutting encroaching, out-of-reach, new growth along trails, field edges and ditches. You'll need a third hydraulic source on your loader and a flow control valve.

These are photos I took when it first arrived.

$1400 new -- I would buy the used one on eBay if I lived nearby.

thanks for the reply, they have a special on shipping right now. I am checking in on the forward hydralics for my B26 but did not know about the flow control.

You dont need flow control if your tractor will motivate at an rpm low enuf to give correct flow. I couldnt use mine on the Mahindra which pumps too much even at idle. It works fine on the Ls at 12-15 hundred rpm.

alright what grandpa says grandpa does, oh wait a minute thats grandma anyway just got home with it and now I got me some figuring to do. Got the one that was on Ebay, can you believe it did not sell on Ebay? the owner did not have the original mounts said he did not like them so he made some, looks like they will work but I know I can't leave well enough alone. but my biggest concern is the hydraulics. I need to add forward hydraulics to my B26 and would like more than just a single function. (got ideas for later). ok let the suggestions begin.

got to use the sabre today worked good, I don't have my forward connections like I want. I ran some hose back to my backhoe thumb control and used it for now just had to see it work.

where can I find a parts list for the TL2141 remote valve set up and installation instructions. I need to try to save some money off the 850 dollar price tag from Bota
