Standard Features
  • 90 deg. up and 55 deg. down mowing angles: BEFCO sickle bar mowers are designed to mow 90 deg. up and 55 deg. down and anywhere in between, making them ideal solutions for mowing around ponds, mowing ditch banks or even trimming small hedgerows.
  • Spring loaded upper blade guides: Spring loaded upper blade guides help prevent blades from overheating and allow for quick and easy blade replacement.
  • Heavy duty bolt-on serrated tooth sections: BEFCO is the only manufacturer to use heavy duty bolt-on serrated tooth sections. These sections are not only stronger that the competition but also feature 2" spacing between each tooth (most competitors have 3" spacing). The reduced spacing makes it harder for rocks to get wedged between the blades resulting in fewer failures to the cutting bar.
  • Evenly spaced skids: Unlike most competitors who only have skids at the ends of the cutting bars, BEFCO sickle bars have evenly placed skids throughout the cutting bar. This allows for less bowing of the cutting bar and therefore less metal stress related failures.
  • Cast aluminum connecting rods with cooling fins: Cast aluminum rods lowers the weight of moving parts, dissipate heat faster also with the help of the cooling fins. Rods are assembled with sealed bearings that never require greasing.
  • Hydraulic cylinder with cutting bar raise lock.: All BEFCO sickle bars are delivered with a single action hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the cutting bar. Cylinders are equipped with a flow adjustment valve that allows operator to adjust the speed at which the cutting bar is lowered. Cutting bar raise lock at the end of cylinder allows operator to raise the cutting bar, using the tractor hydraulic remote and turn around so that end of field maneuvers can be carried out without ever having to raise the three point hitch.
  • Easy belt inspection and tensionning: Sickle bar mowers are equipped with our unique belt tensionning system that allows operator to verify the correct belt tension without even having to remove the belt shield.
  • ASAE Cat. 1 quick hitch compatible: Compatible with ASAE Cat. 1 quick hitches.
