Here is the sickle mower I picked up a couple of weeks ago. It needed a lot of work to get it into this condition. Still need to get the belts put on to make it functional but its getting close to seeing some mowing action.
I have a 416H and a sickle bar mower for it. This is the first time I've seen a pic of one installed. Might get mine out and see if it works...
they are a scary looking implement but are a blast to operate. I go down the road looking for lots that need to be mowed just so I can play. I have plans to cut a field what has 3-4 years of growth with small small saplings and briers. Might even get paid to do it.

I have had AC/Simplicity sickle mowers in the past. I must say they are much lighter, easier to move around and mount onto the tractor than this Haban. From reading the manual, a little more complicated to get set up for mowing also. On the plus side, you run this three quarter to full throttle while mowing which should mean a nice cut. Also, it's heavy enough to warrant a dedicated tractor for it. :)
