sickle bar mower

   / sickle bar mower #22  
I don't know if anyone got back to you, so I will make a suggestion.. I don't know of anyone In Tenn. who is a dealer, but, in Central KY, just off of I-65, there is Sweet's Farm equipment. They have a lot of used sickle bar mowers and have some
refurbish ones also. The have a lot of sales in Ebay selling them and if googleing, just look for Sweets farm equipment.They are also found on here in the forums I believe....
Good luck
Tom

I know I may be late posting on this, but I just went through the same search. I found a good IH 1300 3pt mower. Parts are still made (Rowes) and you can even get a lift kit for the bar from Rowes. Rowes also makes new units. They also will service the head.

What is the cost of a new drive head (less cutterbar and pullys)? KenSweet

Ken - not sure but you can give them a call Rowse Rakes I think I talked to a Randy in parts - nice folks. The price for the hydraulic lift kit was under $700

I am wondering if the hydraulic kit will let the sickle bar keep its original range of cutting movement? If it will let the mower mow 70 degrees below horizontal and 90 degrees vertical, I could consider a kit. Most optional hyd kits for the new double action mowers are only 450. Ken Sweet

Their web site show +90 to -20 - probably limitation is on the linkage which is the same for the standard IH unit per the original manuals I have. As for the cost of the lift, it is a whole lot heaver and more robust than the new double action units. I have seen both) Remember it is designed to their specifications to be durable and also lift the 9 foot heavy bar I have. Bottom line it is great to have options and good parts sources for our mowers. Their shields will also fit the 1100 and 1300. I'm going through my unit carefully and will be adding the lift kit at some point before spring. I plan to post pictures and comments of the project. Hope this helps.

Ken - On edit a brand new cutter head is slightly over $2K - they may have rebuilt ones available for less.
