Yeah taking the broken ones off led to me finding stuff under the “floor” that was banged up. Decided to go deeper. What ya mean dual action?

The stub guards oscillate against the knives to give you double the strokes per minute without actually doubling the the shaft speed. It's pretty cool.

Two cutter bars moving in opposite directions that make the cut, rock guards only protect the cutters.

I've seen those too. I have only seen the double action sickles on two wheel walk behind tractors personally.

We have been getting just enough to keep things from browning. Got some the other day just because I cut hay. Still time for another cutting, if we get some rain first.

Started raining in the night and continued into the morning. More than I have had in the last two months. Had less than an inch when I left for work this morning. Surprised to see that much in the gauge when I got home.

Tired of working in the dark as well. These LED lights they are making now make quite a difference. Have a small light bar across the back to light up the corral when I am loading. Got 4 going to butcher in two weeks and I will be loading at 5AM. Just hooked things up enough tonight to see how they look.

 

[ajschainsaws]

What you got here aj?

It’s a vibrating Roller run by a Diesel engine on the back
Noise and shakes gets too ya but it’ll do a good job
It’s better Behind a D4 or D6
