Long time reader, first time poster

I don't know if this is the place to put this or not...but. I bought a little 8N (and love it btw) that came with a 2 bottom plow and a Ferguson Belly Sickle Bar Mower. Here's my dilemma: 1) I don't know how to hook it up (or if all the components are there), 2)from other posts it sounds like a bear to hook up and it limits other uses of the tractor, and 3) I feel guilty leaving a good piece of equipment behind the barn. Should I sell it or keep it? If I sell, what's it worth (I don't know what it's worth and I don't care just as long as it can be of some use to somebody) That and the stipulation that I would like to see it in action someday.

Sorry for the length and thanks for any responses,

I am in the middle of tryng to attach my 8n with just such a mower. IT IS A BEAR! When you succeed, it leaves your tractor good for two things: Mowing & muleing! Forget about ever mounting a three point implement! It's great for road shoulders and pond banks, but as for anything else aside from being a mule, your tractor is a paperweight! If you have an "extra" tractor that you can afford to take out of regular service then by all means mount that mower, since there is no substitute foer what it can do!

If you check the archives you might find the info on attaching it. Ed Gooding might know orhave the brochure for one. The benefits of a belly mount, to me anyway, would be that you can eyeball it while mowing with it and keep it out of trouble. Some I have seen will lift up when you left up the rear 3pt somehow. It does tie up the tractor so you can't do anything else with it. It hooks to the belly and the three point hitch plus runs off the PTO. I have a rear mount one that I am going to sell also as I have no need for it. My neighbor says he can cut ditchbanks with it.
