Don't think a sickle mower would cut stalks. You need a silage cutter. Cows would be better off with silage anyway. It takes alot of work to make silage, versus what he wants to do. I knew where a John Deere 350 7’ cut was, I’ll see if the guy still has it.
A friend, the Bible and a banker will get you though about anything.

for cutting stalks you need a Silage Cutter. It will be a slow process with a sickle. There are a couple on Craigslist and Bates in Cullman usually has a few there by the interstate. Get one that's belt drive if you get one.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

I only have 11 rows about 300 feet long. My idea was to cut them NOW, right after the corn has been picked, one or two rows at a time and feed them immediately and whole. Thought I would cut them with a sickle mower, then kind of grub them up with a grapple bucket and dump them in the pasture. They really like the corn shucks and short cobs, and I have read that they will eat the whole stalk with good results. First time trying it so who knows. I was thinking a sickle would also be handy for banks ETC so not a total waste.

Also, just and FYI my corn stalks are very thin this year. Corn was GREAT, but the stalks are short and spindly. I would guess no more than half an inch thick at the place I would be cutting.

It’ll work fine for what you are doing. The one I had lined up didn’t pan out. If you find one try to get a New Holland 450 or 451 or a John Deere 350. Lots of parts still available for them. I do know where a haybine is. It’s a international 1190, it’s a mower conditioner with a sickle bar. 9’10” cut I think.

I think he will have a hard time counting to 10 if he buys a sickle mower. Just guessing here...

FYI I am using the snot out of that big finish mower I got from you. It does a great job! Should have bought the nice one tho, I bet I have more in this ugly one that I would have if I had just bought the good one! Jason
