Yep, the sickle mower explanation makes the most sense. Back in the 1920's ag engineers probably did not envision tractor power driven forage harvesters or balers to name a couple of machines. The power mower was the dominant PTO driven machine in the industry and things went from there.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
