Eterra 5 Ft. Sickle Bar Mower for Excavator

Eterra 5 Ft. Sickle Bar Mower for Excavator The Eterra 5 ft. sickle bar mower for excavators is the most affordable way to put shear-cut mowing on the end of a boom. At 5 feet it is the shortest and lightest bar in the excavator range, which makes it the right choice for smaller carriers and for work threading between culverts, headwalls, sign posts and trees. Rated for 8–20 GPM. Available from Skid Steer Store. Why Mow From an Excavator Boom Reach over, not drive through — cut ditch bottoms, banks and water's edge with the machine on stable ground. Angle the bar to the slope — boom articulation follows terrain a direct-mount mower cannot. Almost no thrown material — shearing drops cuttings in place near traffic and property. Low hydraulic draw — runs on 8–20 GPM, within reach of small and mid excavators. Cuts wet and aquatic growth — reeds and cattails that clog a flail. Excavator Sickle Bar Range Model Width Best Suited To 5 Ft. 5 ft. Smaller excavators; obstacle-dense sites; lowest cost of entry 7 Ft. 7 ft. Mid-size carriers; balanced reach and coverage 9 Ft. Razor 9 ft. Larger carriers; maximum coverage per pass Bar length adds leverage at the end of the boom. The 5 ft. asks least of the machine, which is what makes it the practical choice on smaller excavators. Specifications Specification 5 Ft. Excavator Sickle Bar Cutting Width 5 ft. Cutting Capacity Vegetation under 2" diameter Flow Rate 8–20 GPM Carrier Excavator Electrical Connector Not required Mount Required — sold separately Your Mount Is Sold Separately Excavator sickle bar models require a mount, not included in the price above. Add the correct one from our Eterra Attachment Mounts listing — Machine Specific to run it on your excavator (we need your make and model), or Universal Mount to run it on a skid steer instead. Raptor boom mounting options are also available. Common Applications Drainage ditch and culvert maintenance, pond and stream banks, roadside shoulders with barriers, small-acreage right-of-way, orchard rows, and municipal work on constrained sites. Frequently Asked Questions What size excavator do I need? Auxiliary hydraulics rated 8–20 GPM. The 5 ft. bar is the lightest in the range, so it suits smaller carriers that would struggle with a 7 or 9 ft. bar at full extension. Is the mount included? No. Excavator models require a mount sold separately. Choose Machine Specific for an excavator or Universal Mount for a skid steer. Do I need an electrical connector? No. Only skid steer sickle bar models require one. What will it cut? Grass, weeds, reeds and brush under 2" in diameter. For heavier material, look at the EX-Series flail mowers or the Cyclone rotary cutter. Why choose 5 ft. over 7 or 9 ft.? Lower cost, less leverage on the boom, and easier placement around obstacles. Longer bars cover more ground but demand a larger carrier. Order From Skid Steer Store Add the 5 ft. mower above, then add your mount as a separate item.
