Considering a sickle mower for road and ditch trimming. Prefer 6 or 7 foot. No experience, what's a good RELIABLE recommendation, esp brand wise? Not a situation of wanting a native or fixer upper unit at this time.

no brand, just a comment.. I have an old 1940 Allis sickle mounted on a B tractor.. Works OK... but it would be nice if you could angle the bar and cut on slopes and hill sides... The old pitman arm type you can only tilt a few degrees from horizontal... Some models are belt drive out the the bar/ cam shaft area.. Those you can tilt quite a bit ... Something to keep in mind..

Like them all, but love the "B"s.
