149 sickle bar tractor
 

While in route to my dads new spread in Tennessee I made a detour and picked this guy up. Haban is missing a few things but is functional, has new knives on it. Looks to be a home made qa instead of hangers on the axle. I’ll get it home and get it working properly, put it with the other 149

Detour well worth it by the looks of it! Congrats :beerchug:

Great find!!! A nice tractor and a fun attachment!! Bet your dad thought, oh no....another project. That's why he arrived late!!! I did not know the 149 was a Cyclops....:biggrin2:

Cub Cadet 123

Very nice! I wish I could find a good deal on one of them.

Where in Tennessee is the new spread?

Nice find as they are hard to find. I see it was modded to use a hydraulic lift on the 149, are you keeping it like that for your other 149?. Is this your first Haban?

Thanks it was off the beaten trail for sure
He wasn’t shocked probably be more shocked if no cub on the trailer or truck. Won’t be a cyclops for long, won’t have those plastic jobs.
Kingsport, all dads family from East Tennessee,Deer and turkey in abundance got a nice 11” longbeard first with a bow
This will be my 2nd 149 Haban sickle bar tractor, 3rd haban sickle bar

It was an ok deal but ill probably hold on to it, i need it like a hole in my head. I figure they don’t pop up much and nothing of mine been selling like they used to so i”ll just get it running right and park it in the barn with the others

That’s a good eye, I was not sure how it lifted up and down but there was some cables on it, I believe your right, I’m leaving early tomorrow can’t wait to get this one right. I’ve got a strap holding the bar up now

Wish I could find a haben sickle bar for my 149 up here in Michigan. Nice find and collection you got there.
