Sickle mowers or sickle bar mowers are a great way to mow under fences and
into corners where a rotary or flail mower can't reach. The sickle mower is the
best mower for alfalfa, straw etc where you don't want to chop up the stalk
and leaves. Such as baling hay etc.
The sickle mowers from BCS are available in three models Single action, Dual
Action and Dual Action with Fingers.
Single action mower. Only the upper blade moves. The lower blade is fixed.
Pros: Less expensive purchase price, Can be powered by smaller tractors.
Cons: Since only the upper sickle bar is moving, there is more vibration. Must
be operated at lower speed than a dual action mower.
Dual action mower. Both the upper and the lower blades move.
Pros: smoother, less vibration, can be run at higher speed.
Cons: Requires more horsepower to operate. Slightly higher purchase price.
Dual action mower WITH FINGERS.
Pros: As with the dual action mower without fingers, this mower is smoother
and can be run at higher speed. The metal fingers help guide the vegetation
into the cutter blades and in some instances will help prevent rocks from
entering the blades.
Cons: Requires more power. Metal fingers can be broken if cutting woody
material such as saplings.
Metal Fingers. Also known as
"Rock Guards". The metal fingers
are actually the lower cutter bar.
When the upper cutter bar moves
to the right, the lower bar with the
fingers moves to left and vice
versa. This system is typically very
strong unless you try to cut a large
rock or large sapling. This can
cause the fingers to break off.
Replacement fingers are available.
