Running the Sickle Bar mower for the first time. Will it cut Hay? New Holland 451

I just got done fixing our New Holland 451 sickle bar mower that we bought at auction. Today we are finally going to test the mower and see if it cuts hay. I have never used a sickle bar mower before, so this will be a learning experience for me as well. The grass is getting tall, so hopefully this will be a good place to test the mower.
