Now that brings back old memories. I remember cutting hay with a Ford 2000 with a sickle mower hay cutter. I was about 14, and loved cutting hay. Liked breaking it up to didn't care about the baling part. It smelt great. I remember cutting hay with a Farmall h too. Loved it all. Good old days. 😃😀😁👍

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

Such great memories! I love to hear those types of remembrances because that is exactly why I chose to farm as well! Peter and I both have similar memories as kids! Have a great day, Lynette and Peter

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

We love the mower; the mower retails new for about $6000 usd thanks for watching! Have a great night, Lynette and Peter

O really ☹

[@lxtx6753]

Lynette and Peter, thanks for your video! We bought ours yesterday and I can’t raise the sickle bar :(. I have old tractor and that’s part of the problem. Do you know if it’s possible to get this running with the older tractors? Thanks again!!

Very nice mower you guys have there! It's a heck of a lot nicer than the old Ford 501 sickle mower I use to have. Subscribed!

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

Denny's Country Life thank you so much for subscribing, we have an older sickle bar mower as well that we will be doing a video on; it's really fun to pull it behind my M to clip pastures with! I really look forward to seeing more of your videos, I love how positive you sound and inspirational! Have a great evening!

[@vinlennox7658]

What's nicer about it? I tell you I can cut MUCH heavier grass than that with my 501 well tuned up. No problem

[@Redhackle]

Very nice.

[@mindymills2182]

Whats the purpose of the lift spring and how to adjust that.? Is that what makes the outer end of the bar raise first? Wish I could find a good used one and trade my NH 451 on it! .

[@dennis8445]

The best part of the mower is it doesn't kill anything but grass. Even baby rabbits don't get hurt most of the time. This what we need to save the bee's.

[@gary24752]

Obviously, you have never mowed with that type of equipment.

[@brianpritt4154]

Nice video. Do you have any regrets not getting the 270 model?

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

Brian Pritt no regrets! We tell everyone that there is a 9 foot model, but we are very happy with the versatility of our Seven Foot cut.

[@joyceweaver6949]

P.S. My mower (Farm King--Enorossi) BFS 210-H) cost $4525.00 put together and delivered by a local Case dealer.

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

That is a great price!

[@SPCLPONY]

Yes, our local implements dealer has several BFS 210H seven foot sickle bar mowers in their display area. The gent said they ran about 4500 bucks. I currently am getting ready to cut, rake, and bale hay for the first time ever to feed our 2 horses for the winter. I only needed about 200 bales each winter for the past few years, so that's my goal. I have several old 50's through 70's sickle mowers in my collection. All with various needs of minor repairs or missing parts. I have a beautiful 3 point hitch Ferguson rake I picked up for $450, and a good working New Holland 68 super hayliner baler for $200 from a neighbor who moved up to larger, newer round bale equipment. Just right for my small operation with a 30 hp and a 45 hp tractor(s). I personally like the sickle mowers for now because everything fits in my pole barn neatly. I don't think I could fit a hayliner in there with everything else.

[@SPCLPONY]

By the way, that local dealer is in Columbia Cross Roads, Pa. (Crossroads Equipment) on Rt.14 if anyone wanted to know.

[@triciahill216]

Some of the old sickle bars had wheels at the end of the bar to help with the bar bouncing and scalping. Do you feel that modification would be necessary or beneficial? Thank you.

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

This floats- no need for a wheel

[@thebovees49091]

How long is the drying time compared to a mower/conditioner? Are you baling all round bales, or are you doing small squares as well? How badly does the sickle plug up with grass? Are replacement parts readily available? Your videos may have changed my mind about getting a discbine...

[@jdoconnor8883]

Where did you get the kit and how much was it for the rear remote hydraulic connection for rear of your tractor?.. asking for a friend..

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

We bought the unit complete with hydraulic hook up for the tractor.

Would this sickle bar cutter mow dry (late winter / early spring) cornstalks? Thank you in advance.

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

This mower is like a little brush Hog- it will cut very easily thru cornstalks

[@vanreliant5584]

You'd certainly need a can of spinach to keep up with that using a scythe.

Does it cut second cut hay fine without bunching up?

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

No problems

How does the cam work on one of those?

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

I’ll have an answer for you today

[@rolsen1304]

The cam running the blades and stone guards separately? Like any cam system, say a two cylinder engine, two cams with different timing running on the same power input, so the blades and guards move independently and offset. So when the blades are at peak stroke the guards are at minimum stroke, and so on.

[@haleyfarmz]

Where are you buying parts at?

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

We actually buy parts at our local Kabota dealer and they order them from Cumin and Bricker we really only replace teeth and have only bought one box of teeth in eight years. We did just replace our cutter bar( after eight years)

[@keithkuckler2551]

Oh my god, sickle bar mowers have been around since the McCormick reaper. This system is only a variation on that, just more parts to wear out, and, more things to go wrong. I grew up with a semi mounted mower mounted on a Farmall B, it would cut heavy Alfalfa all day long. Later we switched to pulltype hay conditioners, and, finally to mower conditioners. The mower conditioners had reel pickups to pull lodged and down hay into the cutting bar. You could probably buy a good used mower conditioner for less than this thing cost. And, a mower conditioner, will condition the hay for faster drying and better hay.

[@darylsmioth1904]

I found the drying time is about the same between a haybine and a sicklebar mower because of how the sickle mower lays it all out flat in the field.

[@bo200wow]

You are Not mowing hay you mow Grass and it becomes hay 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Would have been a good video if you could hear anything the guy was saying. Turn the tractor off or speak into the mic.

[@acarragher2561]

Thank you for this excellent video. I live in Co Armagh in Ireland. When I discovered these sickle mowers about 4 years ago I was fascinated about the many innovations these machines have compared to the old traditional sickle bar mower, especially the “non clogging” aspect. I was virtually ready to import one in a box from Italy, until I read some general reviews on some farming sites. Some people complained about bits falling off, also difficulty with maintenance etc. I’m not fully convinced about such negative views, but I think you people have the correct approach of TLC towards the machine, especially the back up of a spare sharp knife. Your video has been exceptionally informative, almost better than the manufacturers in Italy. Please keep us up to date as often as possible on the wellbeing of this mower. How long approximately would it have taken you to cut this 10 acre field.? Thank you again.

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

Thank you for you excellent comment! We still love this cutter. A ten acre field takes about two hours to mow

[@rolsen1304]

The machine is good, but sickle bar mowers requires a bit more skill to run then disc mowers. I think the bad reviews mostly stem from people who don't know their equipment... I have the 2.7m version of this Enorossi and love it!

[@johnt7232]

Nice ! I sure would love to have had that type of mower here in Ireland forty years ago when my dad used send me to mow , the meadows with the use of artifical fertilizer became to heavy for traditional mowers

[@yesterdayfarm5273]

Are those all under-serrated single sickle sections?

[@deanbarr5740]

I just got a new J.D.3025 and a frontier cutter bar mower I functions just like yours. It also has hydraulic lift for the cutter bar. And you're right my tractor is only a 25 h.p. Thanks I enjoyed your video.

How is this mower holding up so far? I bought a gribaldi just like it and couldn't keep blades or guards on it to save my life. Even walked the field to make sure it was clean.

Enorossi 👍

[@Tcrim354]

Sounds like to many moving parts. Too many bearings to wear out and then damaging both the bar and cutting edges.

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

Many moving parts but seriously very low maintenance and long working life with minimal replacement of parts/ seriously minimal one or two small knives in over five hundred acres of hay during one season!

[@rolsen1304]

It's a simple rocker cam system, any moving part has a grease point, and there's only two bearings, one for blades, one for guard.

[@joyceweaver6949]

I bought this mower last week (Farm King--Enorossi BFS 210 H) and love it, but am having a problem adjusting how fast the blade raises and lowers. I've followed the directions on turning those 2 knuckles near the end where you plug the hose into the tractor , but I'm not getting any results. Now it's stuck up and I can't lower the blade to mow. Any suggestions????

[@backtothelandorganicfarmer6861]

Turn the knobs counterclockwise while the tractor is off! Dont stand under it while you do this! The valves are probably closed and not letting fluid in or out! If it doesnt lower then start the tractor up and try your hydraulic handle to see if it lowers! I hope this works

[@joyceweaver6949]

Thank you so much for your help! It worked! I was able to lower the blade and cut some pasture weeds. However, then the blade wouldn't raise up so I could leave the field and get through the gate. Grrrr. Had to walk back to the barn to get 2 wrenches. Eventually I was able to get it to raise again. Once back in barn with tractor it wouldn't lower again. So I'm to the point of having a mechanic look at it. Will solve this eventually! Love your videos. You're doing a good job. I have a small 57 acre farm all in hay and pasture and raise 150 head of Dorper hair sheep. So need a good mower.
