[AT] Ford Jubile Implements

[Mike Sloane]

I would agree with everything that Dave wrote (and I don't do forums 
either), but only add that some of the "pitmanless" mowers have 
hydraulic lift cylinders to raise the bar, so, unless your NAA had 
auxiliary hydraulic ports, you wouldn't want to buy one of them.

And a word of warning: a sickle bar mower is one of the most dangerous 
implements around. If there is any reason that you have to dismount and 
get your fingers anywhere near the sections, don't just release the PTO. 
lower the bar all the way and turn off the engine. Those things will cut 
off a finger with no trouble at all, even when the PTO isn't engaged.
