Good points of a sickle mower- Cheap, Low power requirements (good when you're mowing with Horses) and years ago it was the best alternative, mostly because the alternative was a hand scythe. When I was a kid (and dinosaurs roamed the earth) we did 20-40 acres with a New Idea 30A sickle mower, it worked fine but it did take us a bit to learn how to maintain the darn thing.

We have learned a lot since then and this thing called progress has showed up, in the past a lot of people did a lot more with a lot less. Don't know that it was a choice it might of been all they had or could afford.
