I want to mowe around a pond with out getting so close I go in. I know nothing about sickle mowers but would think this would be a good way to do this. The neightbor has a New Idea three point hitch mount for sale for 250.00. It looks to be OK. But again I know little. Can some one give me some help? What makes the bar go up and down. I don't see a cylinder on it? Will the bar go beyond horizontal? I want to mowe down the bank. I have a Oliver Supper 55 that I want to run it on. Live power and hyd.
If I sound like a nut for thinking about this some one tell me and I'll go buy more string for the string trimmmer. Thanks in advance. J.Ray

If there is much of a bank, I would pass on doing this.

Some will go below some will not. Most 3 point type lift the bar with a rig on the 3 point. What to look at if the bearings gaurds and blades also the pitman if it has one

The issues with a sickle bar mower:

It puts weight on the right side of the tractor, & mowing around a body of water you are typically leaning that way. You do not want to lean too far on hills downhill with a sickle mower....

With the bar sticking out there, if it catches on something and the saftey latch is not working, it can pull the tractor around to the right, and you will drive into the body of water.

If the hills, rocks, trees, etc. are not too bad, then what you want will work.

Pitman mowers - a wooden (sometimes metal) bar that drives the sickle back & forth - is older style, and cannot angle down quite as steep as the newer wobble-box style on most mowers. Not sure which type you are looking at, nor how much 'down angle' you are considering mowing over.
