Chris727 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Do you have the cable guide pulley that attaches to the tractor frame? You will also need to fab up some sort of rear attaching point for the support chain and drill a hole to mount the pulley guide. Josh and CarlH have used these sickles on the 900/7100 tractors so yes it can be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talntedmrgreen Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 First...I'm diggin the artificial turf! That's a great idea. My folks put that down under/around the playset they put up for their grandkids in the backyard. I will look for more pictures of my 900 series machines with sickle. I have a writeup somewhere. Here's the pulley setup. The type for RBT's won't work on a 900...the orientation of the pulley is all wrong for the available space to mount on a 900. You need a homebrew or an FDT pulley mount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talntedmrgreen Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Got a pic of how close the skid plate is to the ground? That bracket is an add on so it might not be needed but lets see the skid clearance first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
