massey ferguson sickle mower

You can get by with a junk disc, cultivator, etc:

But let me tell you, as a owner and user of a MF #32 cycle mower that dad bought new.

Nothing is much more aggravating than a worn out cycle mower and the art of setting the mower blades is a lost art.

I would try to buy the best mower I could in excellect condition if you are going to use it to cut heavy hay.

If you are only going to paint it up and attach it to the tractor for show then you can buy an old one.

Also they are very expensive to work on as you have to buy guards blades and all cutter parts must be in excellent conditon or the thing will hangup all the time.

You can cut weeds and small bushes around a pond with an old one, they are good for that.

Just my two cents!! From someone that has spent many hours using one.

also note: for some reason bumble bees like to chase tractors with cycle mowers attached.

As Fred said, they can be expensive to repair. I wouldn't buy it unless you just want it for show.

Around here they rarely get used. They can be had for scrap prices just to get them out of the shed.
