These pastures need a haircut! Today I’m out clipping pastures with the Farmall H and the International 120 sickle bar mower. There are several benefits to clipping pastures, including getting dead grass onto the soil where it can decompose, limiting the spread of weeds, and promoting pasture regrowth. Plus, it’s fun to work the old equipment!

Awesome Pete! Question, those bolts and nuts you use on your sicklebar, anyone know the model info and/or where to acquire them? Thank you!
Can that go beyond horizontal to mow along decline of creek beds, etc?
Nice jokes. I could watch that mower all day. The grass Zamboni, on that nice flat field.
That joke was a real groaner.
Excellent video! Well produced with great drone shots! How old is your sickle bar attachment? Is it difficult to maintain?
So as short that is, could u bale it, for bedding or if your short on hay
You are blessed….from oklahoma
I have a great joke for you why some juices when they fly in a v some fly on the right side some fly on the left side cuz some are left with and some are right wing get it left hand right hand
I have a great joke for you why do some geeses
Love watching you cut the grass. It's a learning experience
I have the newer version of that mower, an international 1000.
Super…
Just wanted to let you know what a great job you do on your videos! Great camera work!
I Remer getting my butt kicked by my dad for not making the backswath
I do when I was in my 20s I ran a john deere no5 sickle bar mower cutting broom hay
Hi Pete! I.love your videos. Takes me back to my childhood on the farm. How many acres do you farm? My grandfather had two farms. The big one was 100 acres and the small one was 29 acres. Pappy lived on the small one. We had I cow, a beef, 100 chickens, and a batch of pigs. We did our own butchering .
Can you use Bolton once in place of riveted ones .??
Hi Pete! Just wondering I know you check everything out but I was wondering if you bought a nine foot bar and sold the 7 ft you would be able to cut the pastures faster?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're killing me, Pete!
Side note…
In my youth I worked at a country club on the grounds crew. We had a couple older gentlemen that worked with us mainly mowing the rough and fields bordering the golf course. They would use a sickle bar mower for the tall grass fields. Well one day old Pete, yes his name was Pete, had is most favorite hat in the while world blow off his head due to the wind and wosh right into the mower it went.
He came back all upset and said" I ain't never running that thing again!"
We almost died laughing.
Now that was some great footage! My hat's off to you Sir! I have this same mower except with a steel tail-wheel.
Boy that MD looks so good . you just did a heck of a job on it resteration.would love to see you do the same for the 656, and the 505. I love RED tractors.Bob

Gotta love the image of a farmer taking shelter under a tree in the rain. something I have never had the experience of, having always had cabs or at least a roof on our tractors. Definitely had it tougher those old timers!
