Is that a new cutting bar or did you refurbish it. Looks brand new.

Do you sharpen the cutting blades with a file?

Post by: Nick on November 29, 2019, 10:14:26 am: I used to have an electric sickle sharpener, but it was next to abunch of scrap metal that was stolen out of Grandpa's shed and they took that too >:( Likely went to scrap...

By the way, facebook must be stalking me, look what popped up on my Marketplace suggestions this morning :D They sure get good money for newer ones!! :o :o

Haha very true true!

I would still like to find an old/used 3-point blower for my tractor because I clear so much of my driveway/yard.

My driveway is gravel, so I left the first two snowfalls and drove over them to get a good frozen base, but Monday we had quite a bit that I had to blow.
