[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 862325, member: 4674"] It is just as fast to cut with a sickle as the disc mower. Disc mowers are higher maintenance than the sickle. What controls the amount of hay to be cut depends on the tractor speed and whether you ground can allow the higher speed. I am still running 9 foot IH model 1300 sickle mowers. I have had a lely, vicon and a kuhn disc mower. The lely is laying in the corner of the barn in several pieces. The Vicon was sold for scrap iron several years ago. The Kuhn is still around but not used that much any more. It needs about 1500 worth of parts now. If I had a good sickle mower and $5000 I would keep the sickle and also the $5000. [/QUOTE]
