Trying to decide between buying a used sickle bar or a haybine for mowing hay. I want to be able to run either with my 40hp tractor, in case my other one is down.
Like the haybine for the crimping, but It is pretty much for mowing hay only.
If I go with the sickle bar I can use it to mow banks and around ponds and will also be alot easier to trailer. Do most people who mow hay with a sickle run a crimper behind it?
I'll probably go with a 7ft cut either way or possible a 9ft sickle.
What do ya'll think about the two? How do you think 40 horses will pull them?
