So after struggling with the haybine and then buying and then quickly selling a disc mower, I ended up buying a Befco double action sickle mower used from a dealer (same as an enorossi). When I got it home it needed more love than I thought at first inspection but still cheaper than buying a good used one after rebuilding it. Parts have all been available, just slow shipping
Finally got it back together to cut third cutting last night and the thing is amazing! Whoever suggested the double action sickle, thank you! The thing is unpluggable and I can drive as fast as I can comfortably drive in my fields (5.5mph). Additionally, I can cut my pond bank with it and trim hedges. As a fringe benefit, the neighbor cant run it since he doesnt have 3pt haha.
I still have a couple kinks to work out but this thing will be perfect for my operation.
