Ideal for many different tasks, the Sickle Bar is designed to slice material at its base to leave the cut material in tact. This means there's no flying debris, thrown stones or excessive mulch. Swivel joint in shaft allows bar to follow ground contours.The Sickle (cutter) Bar Mower is original to the BCS brand, and it's also one of the most popular attachments.
82'' version for model 660 Hydrostatic only.
51'', 67'' or 82'' available bar widths for Dual Action Sickle Bar. 47'', 59'' or 71'' available bar widths for Dual Action Sickle Bar with Fingers. The 82'' version is suited for model 660 Hydrostatic ONLY. PLEASE NOTE: All prices for the Dual Action Sickle Bar Mowers include the required oil bath transmission. This reduces required maintenance because the owner won't have to manually adjust the clamps as they wear over time, being careful not to over-tighten them. Instead of static clamps as on the single-action version, moving arms with spring-loaded down pressure maintain optimal contact between the knives and the ledger plates. Self-adjusting tensioners are a key feature of all Dual Action Sickle Bar Mowers. It can also be used for forage harvesting, most notably hay. This version also includes heavier-duty self-adjusting tensioners.īoth versions of the Dual Action Sickle Bar are much wider than the wheelbase, so you can easily trim along slopes, ponds, under fences, and other low-clearance places you wouldn’t dare take a traditional mower. The version without fingers is better suited to use in woody material such as saplings, because the version with fingers can be prone to breakage. Compared to the standard sickle bar, it reduces vibration and enables mowing in faster speeds. The version with fingers is formerly known as "duplex", and has been available for many years. Both feature riveted guards on the lower teeth to allow for no clogging of mowed materials, and have spring-loaded blade tensioners for decreased vacillation. The dual-action reduces vibration for the operator and increases efficiency in mowing applications.īCS offers two versions of the Dual Action Sickle Bar: Dual Action WITH Fingers and WITHOUT Fingers. This unique and fast sickle bar attachment mows using two moving blades, each moving in equal and opposite directions. The BCS Dual Action Sickle Bar Mowers step it up a notch from its single-blade predecessor.
