It's another day on the mower! Except today, I'm using the Farmall H with an International 120 balanced head sickle bar mower. Sickle bar mowers are lots of fun to run, if they are adjusted properly. Today I have to mow under our electric fences to keep the tall grass from grounding them out, and a sickle bar mower is the perfect tool for the job. I also have some new calves to show you!

Growing up I spent time on my uncles dairy farm. He had 2 Farmall H tractors that he bought new when he returned from WW2. They had came off the production line one right after the other. After driving the John Deere H at our place it took me a little bit to get used to the foot clutch on the Farmall. That being said those Hs were a very easy tractor to drive. My cousin and I used to race them while cultivating corn, but that's a story for another day.

What a great combination of a nose-wheeled tractor an sicklebar which has a backward motion when making a turn! No modern equipment can do the same without a big deal of hydaulics. Of of the few reasons i envy you Americans, is the invention of those nose wheeled tractors and keeping that delight to yourselves! I have only seen a tractor like that ones in the Netherlands. Probably taken home by a returned Dutch immigrant... Thank you so much for your positive video’s!

I grew up in the 60's and 70's in Upstate NY. At that time the sickle bar mower was the main mower of choice. It was used to not only cut fields but the local highway department used them to cut down the grass on the side of the road. In my area the main tractors were the IH Farmall's and the old Ford tractors. We had a bunch of the Farmall Cubs which were really great for mowing because of the offset body design.

While my parent's dairy had long before switched to a mo-co, dad still had the No 10 mid mount mower that mounted on our 3020 gas tractor for clipping pasture and roadsides. Usually was mounted at least once a summer, couldn't be used with the front end loader. Got to run it a few times, the hardest part was adding/removing the transport rod..........

Pete, it's always so refreshing to watch your lovingly put together videos. We had a particularly stressful day picking up meat from the butcher today (truck problems, worrying about making it home before three steers' worth of beef thawed). My wife and I have been stewing for several hours and are finally getting over all the stress. Watching and listening to your sickle bar mower clear the fence line was just the vibe we needed to get back in a positive state of mind. Thanks, as always, for sharing your wisdom and positive outlook.

OMG Chills when you back up to the mower and bolted it to the drawbar of the H. This brings back lots of memories. My Dad bought the first model 120 balanced head mower our IHC Dealer sold. The second day we had it I mowed a 40 acre field of grass hay. That little Super H had a has 4th gear that would run 7 miles per hour. The hay was tall enough when I was opening up a land the hay was coming over the hood and flipping past the radiator cap. The hay was not falling on the ground for several feet past when I cut it off running at 7 mph. Loved that mower. We had lots of road side mowing to do and the unlimited angle the cutter bar would work was great.
