Adapting a hydraulic sickle bar mower to my loader

This is my latest hair brained idea. So far it looks like it might work.

No such thing as hair brained if it works....even if it doesn't work.

I could use that!. Might want to consider making the mounting tube telescoping so you can move it out and in a few feet.

The ability to adjust it in or out a little was always the plan. It is pretty heavy and I don't want a bunch of excess hose so I don't think I will need to move it much.

I have changed my mount idea. I have a blank plate I made into light duty pallet forks I seldom use so I now plan to clamp the 2 inch tube directly to that. I hope it has enough hose on it to not have to add any.

How long is the bar on the mower?
