That may be true but in this part of the country a sharp knife does not last long. The cutter bar on a mower runs so close to the ground that it can not miss the mole hills that are so common here. And any mole hill will contain little pebbles that will either chip a sickle or if big enough, break the top off a guard.
With my haybine it has hydraulic control on the cutter bar which is also floating on springs. I can set it to cut a few inches above the ground and miss at least some of the mole hillls. That in itself is a huge advantage that I noticed after years of using mowers. Also by cutting a few inches higher it allows the swath of hay to lay above the ground surface. That can make a big difference to drying in a wet year when the ground is wet. Wind can get under and through the swath to help dry it.
