2-point sickle mower

I'd like to find a good 2 - point sickle mower to put on my 350. What model was the best, newest? thanks

Best? IH balanced head mower. I would think based on the tractor that an IH 120 semi-mounted mower with the right hardware for the fast hitch would be the ideal thing to look for. Not sure how easy it will be to find one set up that way but the manual shows it so I guess it exists. Newest? Don't know. That never was my criteria for buying anything except an iPod.

I've got a model U-F28 fasthitch mower that I'd love to see to a good home. Very reasonable price... Don't know much about it. It came along with a tractor I bought last spring. It needs some TLC, but as far as I can tell is complete and unadulterated. Located in Northern Ca.
Email if you're interested.

IAt one time I owned a IH #100 fasthitch sickle bar mower with 9' bar. Currently own a IH # 1300 3pt sickle bar mower w/ 9' bar. Both are fully mounted with balanced head . The 1300 was also offered in a fasthitch bersion & is an updated version. Balanced head mowers have the sickle driven by a belt so they will mow in any position unlike a pitman drive mower where the bar has to be pretty much flat or you will break the pitman.

I would recomend either one of these models. Go with a fully mounted model as they are easier to manuver & one less thing (tail wheel) to give you problems. Also take up less room to store & can back up closer to things.
