I am a bit confused about sickle bar mowers. Some say you can't mow downward unless you have a wobble drive. Others say a pitman drive can mow downward.
I have a ditch across the front of our place. It's mostly 10' high, and comes down at an angle of maybe 60 degrees. I am no longer able to do weedwhacking to keep it looking nice. That pretty much leaves sickle bar mowers----- go across it mowing up, and go across it mowing down.
What are the rules on whether you can mow downward with sickle bar mowers? All accounts say you do mowing from 0 to 90 degrees upward with either. It's the downward thing I need to know the rules on.
