Description
When you’re cutting hay or crop residue, a bent or broken sickle guard can turn a good cutting day into a frustrating repair session. This forged steel two-point guard keeps your cutting bar running smooth and protects the sickle sections from rocks and hard debris that want to tear things up. It’s built tough to handle the constant vibration and impact that comes with serious cutting work.
What You’re Getting
- Heat-treated forged steel construction that stands up to rocks and hard ground contact
- Two-point design provides better cutting performance and smoother crop flow than single-point guards
- Direct replacement that bolts right on without modifications or special tools
- Black finish resists corrosion and looks professional in the field
- AgSmart quality means you’re getting reliable performance at a fair price
Built for Real Farm Work
This guard fits Owatonna windrowers manufactured before 1979 and Ford 536 mower conditioners – machines that were built for serious hay production and custom cutting operations. These older windrowers and mower conditioners are still earning their keep on farms where reliability matters more than having the latest gadgets.
Made to Last
The forged steel construction and heat treatment process creates a guard that can take the punishment of field work year after year. Unlike cheaper cast guards that crack under stress, this forged design flexes with impact and keeps protecting your expensive sickle sections and drive components.
Installation Notes
This is a straightforward bolt-on replacement that most folks can handle with basic hand tools. The guard bolts to your existing mounting points on the sickle bar. A good time to replace guards is when you’re doing your pre-season sickle bar maintenance – check all the guards while you’ve got everything apart.
