No offense meant here but what's complex about a sickle-bar mower??? They're what the original horse mowers were. Just a sickle going back and forth, and in this case driven by a wobblehead that's driven by a pulley that's driven by a belt hooked to another pulley driven by the pto shaft. I mowed with and maintained a 7ft bar mower when I was 9 years old. Yeah, you gotta keep sickle sections in them, and ledger plates on the guards if you use that type, but that's a job accomplished with a hammer and punch, nothing complicated there.

I do agree that bar mowers wouldnt be suited for mowing where there's stub posts or rocks or other crud to hit but he said this feild was mowed two years ago, so it should be fairly clean. The IH-type bar mowers have a break-away feature on them anyway that will let the bar swing back if you hit something solid....and you can probally guess how I know that ;).
