Hello,
I have an opportunity to purchase a sickle mower and I’m looking for some advice. This one is 5’5” long and I’m told was used to cut hay for many years. I have been told however that the 4’ sickles are more desirable. Are the 5’5” ones problematic or too much for the cub? Any and all advice is appreciated.

Joe, That extra 6" makes a difference if you have a lot to mow.

I have a 5 ft and power has never been a problem even when cutting some pretty nasty stuff, old berry briars and such in a field that hadn't been touched in years. Vern

Re: Sickle Mower Question
Hi,
I like my Cub 22 mower, it's a 5 feet bar. I've had it for years, works good.
