I'm trying to figure out how many ways I could lose a limb with those "toys"
I've seen a few three legged dogs, courtesy of a sickle bar mower.
We have run a sickle bar mower for 40+ years for hay crops. They are for sure a tool to be used with utmost respect. No animals are let loose while in operation. There have been several times when mowing I would come up to a fawn that is bedded down in the field. If the operator wasn't paying attention, I am sure they'd be dead. Those fawns absolutely stay where they are told by mom. I wonder how many get killed by the larger mowers where the mower is farther away and things are less visible.
Would a belt drive mower have less cutting torque in thicker grasses than a pitman?
