Re: (ET) Looking for sickle bar mower

I have one for sale, but it didn't meet the criteria.  I'm in NY, and 
it's not cheap. :)

The motor on the sickle bar is only an E8 or E10 motor.  Mine was 
damaged when I got it and swapped it out for an E10 motor.  An E12 motor 
will add a LOT of weight far behind the rear axle.  It will make it much 
harder to steer.  If you did use it, I would suggest having a weight box 
on the front.
