Sickle mower

Post by pumperatv » Sun Feb 01, 2015 9:14 pm

has anyone ever put a sickle mower like a no.8 on a crawler?
Will the brackets off a wheeled tractor work?
thanks

I don't think the tractor brackets will work as is, they bolt to the side of the drawbar which is like an angle iron, no side to a crawler drawbar, so modification will be necessary.
No reason it won't work, use an overrunning PTO for safety, and don't use the reverser ever while running PTO.
