Remember, the proper settings, a sharp sickle, correct forward speed, and good general main~ tainanee: will enable you to cut any ronsonable patch of grass with satisfaction, Overlooking any one of the above points may detract from. the machine's performance, A few points are listed below: i OPERATING SICKLE BAR MOWER ON TRACTORS WITH HYDROSTATIC DRIVE: Proper ground speed for mowing depends upon (1) the height, density, and type of grass to be out and (2) field or yard conditions.
