117 cm Sickle Bar Mower for YATO YT-85850, YT-85851 Two-Wheel Tractors
The YATO YT-85863 sickle bar mower is an attachment for two-wheel tractors, designed for cutting grass, hay and low vegetation over large areas. Its twin-blade design and eccentric gearbox deliver precise cutting on uneven ground.
Technical features of the sickle bar mower
117 cm working width
The wide cutting swath allows large areas to be covered quickly, reducing working time and fuel consumption. A single pass covers more than a metre of ground, which is particularly important when mowing pasture, meadow and amenity grassland of more than 1,000 m².
Twin cutting blades with eccentric gearbox
The eccentric mechanism drives two blades in an oscillating motion, working in opposite directions. This arrangement delivers a clean cut of the stems without pulling plants out by the roots, which is essential when preparing hay and on uneven ground where standard rotary mowers may leave uncut patches.
Articulated cutter bar
The cutter bar can move freely from side to side, automatically following the contours of the ground as you work. The articulation mechanism prevents blade damage on contact with stones or mounds and ensures an even cut on ground of varying height.
Cutting height adjustable from 6.35 cm to the skids
The cutting height is adjusted by repositioning the support skids. A setting of 6.35 cm (2.5 in) works well for mowing grass in pasture, while lowering the skids allows vegetation to be cut almost at ground level, as required when harvesting hay. Because there is no stepless adjustment, the skid position must be changed manually before starting work.

Compatibility with YATO two-wheel tractors
The YT-85863 sickle bar mower is designed for use with YATO two-wheel tractors, models YT-85850 and YT-85851. It is mounted using the standard attachment mounting system, which requires matching the tractor's PTO shaft to the mower gearbox input.
Checking compatibility before purchase
Before buying, check that the two-wheel tractor has a PTO shaft and that its engine power (typically 7-10 hp) is sufficient to drive a 117 cm mower. Tractors below 7 hp may struggle to maintain blade speed in dense vegetation.
Use and maintenance
Preparation for use
Before first use, fit the mower to the two-wheel tractor in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, check that the drive shaft is connected correctly and set the cutting height by adjusting the skids. The blades should be oiled and checked for sharpness.
Sharpening and replacing blades
The blades of a sickle bar mower need regular sharpening – how often depends on the type of vegetation being cut and whether stones are present. Blunt blades tear at the stems instead of cutting cleanly, which reduces hay quality. Sharpening is done with a file or angle grinder, keeping the original sharpening angle (usually 30-40 degrees).
Storage
At the end of the mowing season, clean plant debris from the mower, check the condition of the blades and gearbox, oil the moving parts and store in a dry place. It is worth protecting the blades with anti-corrosion oil to prevent rusting during winter storage.
