| When it comes to regrowth I've seen studies that show the sickle is better, some that say a disc is actually better and some that say there is no difference. The key with a disc mower is to keep sharp blades on it and to spend some time walking the field to see what is going on. In our case even if a disc mower causes a 5% decrease in regrowth (about 2 days on a one month mowing cycle) the increased capacity of the disc mower would more than make up for the possiblity of the hay being two days behind at the next mowing. I know a couple of people in Deere's hay equipment marketing department and they say that almost 100% of their sickle machines are sold out west where they tend to have easier mowing conditions.
