The sickle bar boom is designed for medium-duty work. They can cut grass and weeds, around waterways, under fences and other hard-to-reach areas.
For Non-Agricultural use, OSHA, ASABE, SAE, and ANSI standards require the use of Chain Guards, Deflectors, or Solid Skirts at all times. The Mower manufacturer strongly recommends the use of Chain Guards, Deflectors, or Solid Skirts for Agricultural purposes as well to reduce the risk of property damage, serious bodily injury, or even death from objects thrown out by or from contact with the Cutting Blades.
At least 20% of the tractor’s total weight must be on the front tires with the Mower lifted to provide adequate traction for safe steering under good conditions. Slow down on hills, rough terrain, and curves.
Front and rear, and left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel (the same as on your automobile).
