- This video shows how Peter sharpens our sickle bar as well as describes replacing the individual blades!
We also show the insertion of the guard bar as well as the sharpened cutter bar and explains the parts that need polished and maintained for superior hay cutting ability!
Please enjoy this video and please subscribe for more documentary type vlogging on our farm!
We would like to personally thank you all for viewing and for subscribing to our channel, we are humbled with appreciation! 400subs strong! Thank YOU!
Have a great day for now, Lynette and Peter
It's good to keep it sharp for a superior CUT
Thanks so very much. Lovely couple.
I keep coming back to this video for reminders on maintaining my mower. Thanks for posting
Have a bfs 210h, hit a rock and actually bent a blade tooth but didn’t break it so belts started squealing immediately as the bent tooth wouldn’t allow the blade to pass through the rock guard. Didn’t really know how to pull the blade out but did have a complete spare blade assembly. Already pulled all the guides and spacer plates but easy enough to bolt them back on. Thanks for showing the blade slides out from the back. I’ll see if I can figure how to pull the pins with the marginal clearance they give you at the Pittman arms. Thanks again for the insight!
I bought this mower last year and just love it. Ordered it from a Case dealer. It is rebranded as a Farm King (but is still made by Enorossi). I mow 25 acres of hay with it and clip 25 acres of pasture . It makes a very clean cut and NEVER plugs like the old style sickle mowers did. A much improved design. My fields are located in Indiana.

So glad I found this. Just purchased new cutting bars for my 7ft Superior sickle bar mower. Can't wait to start mowing hay again this year.
Peter says awesome
Very informative and instructional video! I don't farm but I certainly see a number of uses for the Enorossi sickle. Thank you and best wishes
Congrats on the 400 subscribers! As always very informative and fun to watch. Love the selfie of you two together at the end. what a beautiful couple indeed.Yahweh bless!
Robert Lamb Thank you so much! This channel with you included seems so much to us like a group of friends getting together and I never imagined this would happen! We are so happy for your friendship and love your comments! I can tell you that I personally thought of you when it rained the other night and was thankful for your prayers! Have a great day, Lynette and Peter
Thanks for the info on the size of the blade, which is different than the standard one at Tractor Supply.
Thank you , it was very helpful and informative. Where are you located?
We are located in Western NY just outside Buffalo
We were told to try using the serrated top and bottom edge blade well we'll never go back to the smooth blades. Another thing I noticed everybody on here changes the guards and cutters out but nobody is adjusting the hold down clips. They have to be adjusted because the new parts are not worn so when you adjust the big nut with a set screw in middle on the hold down clamps there's Less noise not banging or prematurely wearing everything out. It changes the clamp angle so when you tighten it down it's not pinching to tight
Thank you this video has been very helpful. Did you by chance do a video of reasonably of the bar ? If ya happen to take it all apart before looking in the book for how too. 🤦♀️
Congratulations on the 400 subscribers! The people in the plane are probably going to be new subscribers after watching you from the air. Lol.
Thank God for the rain and have a fantastic day!

Martin Benton Thank you so much and Haha, I hope they do subscribe lol! We sure were happy for that little bit of rain! Everything is on the verge of completelyl dehydrated! It's always great to read your comments, Have a great evening, Lynette and Peter
Thanks a nice cutter. Congrats on 400 subs. 👍🏻
Gerrald Farms thank you! We could not do this without YOU and we are so glad that we have become friends! Have a great day! Lynette and Peter
GREAT video how to maintain and sharpen…..however, I would like to learn how to take the blade off from my Enorossi sickle bar mower
Great video; thank you.
I’ve been trying to figure out where the (limiting) chain gets connected to the tractor. I think it connects to the toplink mount on the tractor. You appear to have it connected to the top mount on the cutter (where the toplink connects to the mower). Is there a reason why you’re not connecting it to the tractor? What is the purpose of this chain? Thank you.
Great video guys. Tfs
Thank you for viewing! We always love to see you comment! Have a great day, Lynette and Peter
I’ve watched your videos several times and enjoy them. A question for you though… Where do you get parts for this more I have one, and need to replace one section, and also need the small rivets and the big rivets. Lots of companies on the Internet say they have parts for this more, but never produce them and leave me hanging!! Some help here would really be appreciated. Thank you
Cummins and Bricker is where we get our part like teeth from
You two work so good together your fun to watch great job on the sharping and tips on how to do it.....Thanks for sharing.......
PS are you going to enter my contest?????
Thomas Schmitt Homestead project thank you so much and yes I am! Your pigs look so good btw! We love your channel! Have a great day! Lynette and Peter
Used a sickle mower for years ! Issue is..... you can only do so much to sharpen a sickle ! Because........ the bottom of the sickle is also worn...along with the top of the sickle guards. There can be as much as 1/16 inch between the edge of the sickle laying flat on the sickle guard. Not easy to cut with this situation ! Also.........most times the back of the sickle bar........and guard wear at an angle...causing the sickle to ride up which causes even more space between the sickle and guard. Most times it best off replacing everything new at the beginning of the year ! Add into the mix...golfer mounds and sandy soils....... often the sickle wont even last a year. All depends on the acres its uses on. Might get 200 acres out of a sickle.
I jave rhe Frontier version of this sickle mower. How do you remove the cutter bar. I took the nit and bolt out but was unable to get spacer out
Good video
Thank YOU James, I hope your day is awesome! Lynette and Peter
Well if I OWNED and used a sickle bar mower. After a thorough cleaning. I would spray a graphic coating on the back edge of the cutter bar and the inside of the cutter guard. It would reduce wear, material build up and ease install effort. Oh yes coat the pivot bushings as well.
Jason B yes sir! Thank you for your comment! Thank you also for viewing and have a great day! Lynette and Peter
Jason B did you mean graphite?
We have a really old one we bought it for a hundred dollars next year I am hoping to plant at least 3 acres of hay land but are sickle bar mower needs a little bit of work
We have an older one too that needs work and Peter is going to do some videos on fixing it up! Thanks for watching and that's a great way to start farming! Have a great night! Lynette and Peter
Back to the Land organic farmers c
Run some steel cable through that suspension spring.
That video was confusing enough that anyone wanting to know the right technique should seek some better advice elsewhere.
deernutOO thank you for your comment I’m sure it was helpful to some
