Most of us haven't seen anything dry since last August, but dry tall grass is really hard on a sickle bar mower. The mower has to work like a pair of scissors.

Like the other guys said, the sickle sections and the ledger plates (on the guards) have to be sharp, the guides have to hold the sickle in place, and the guards have to hold the ledger plates in place. Make sure the pitman is the right length - one of the guys called it in register.
