BEFCO Sickle Bar Mower

BEFCO Sickle Mower for Tractor

This sickle bar mower is built tough to meet the demands of hardworking Americans who need dependable equipment to manage their land with precision and efficiency. Designed to handle a variety of mowing tasks—from cutting hay to maintaining ditch banks, conservation acreage, and the rugged terrain around ponds and lakes—this mower adapts to the challenge with up to 90° upward and 55° downward mowing angles. Its clever double-action sickle bar design reduces jamming, enabling you to tackle thick vegetation at speeds up to 9 mph.

Mounting securely on Category I or II three-point hitches and powered by your tractor’s PTO, it offers smooth operation combined with ease of use—thanks to a hydraulic cutting bar raise lock that simplifies end-of-field maneuvers without interrupting your workflow. Heavy-duty bolt-on serrated tooth sections with tighter spacing protect against rock damage, while evenly spaced skids reduce stress on the cutting bar, extending the life of your gear. Cast aluminum connecting rods with cooling fins keep the mower running cooler and longer, supported by sealed bearings that never require greasing.

This is practical, American-made equipment you can trust to perform season after season. When you choose this sickle bar mower, you’re backing reliable craftsmanship and supporting the values that keep our country moving forward.

Order now and put American-made quality to work on your land. From one hardworking American to another, this mower has your back.
