 Topic: 82S sickle mower
Posted: 16 hours 25 minutes ago at 8:02pm |
 Not sure how many of you run an 82S sickle mower but I always lay my sickle support rod at the edge of the field as I enter the field to mow. I often thought of a way of carrying it with me so I wouldn’t have to go back to the same spot to lift the mower to transport. Sometimes I could have exited the opposite side of the field. While performing a repair this afternoon, I walked by the rear of my D17 and it hit me. I opened up the snap couplers, grabbed the rod and it fits perfectly in the slots. Snapped the covers down and it’s nice and snug. Put the wing nut in the tool box. Mowed for 2 1/2 hours and it never moved. Just thought I would pass it along.

Depending on the bar and support rod it should hook in the slot on the lh side of tongue and the bolt through the angle on lh axle gusset with the nut to the rear. I think only one of mine actually fit there though

Mine is an 82T but am going to investigate this! There is probably a place to stow it somewhere on the machine. Lift arm latches another good possibility.

With no weight on my lift arms they stay up when I lower the mower. I don’t think it would be an issue even if they were down. Worked great for me and I would think it would work for a trail mower also. So simple yet it took so long for it to hit me.
