Riveted 7 Foot Hay Mower Knife for Classic John Deere Sickle Bar Mowers

Description

Nothing stops hay making faster than a dull or damaged sickle bar, and when you’re running those reliable old John Deere pull-type mowers, you need a knife that cuts clean through tough stems. This 7-foot riveted knife comes ready to mount with 28 under-serrated sections that’ll slice through hay like they should. It’s the same quality replacement that keeps your vintage mower earning its keep year after year.

What You’re Getting

• Full 7-foot knife with 28 under-serrated sections for clean, efficient cutting
• Fine tooth serrations (14 per inch) that grab and cut tough hay stems without clogging
• Riveted construction that stays tight and aligned through heavy use
• H286076H head design that mounts directly to your existing knife back
• Under-serrated profile that self-sharpens as you cut

Built for Real Hay Work

This knife fits those dependable John Deere sickle bar mowers from the older series that are still cutting hay on farms everywhere. Whether you’re cutting first crop alfalfa, timothy, or mixed grasses, these mowers with their simple, reliable design keep working when properly maintained. The fine tooth serrations give you 14 cutting edges per inch for smooth operation even in dense or lodged crops.

Made to Last

This riveted knife is built the old-fashioned way – sections permanently attached to the knife back so they stay put under the vibration and stress of cutting. The under-serrated design means the cutting edge is on the underside where it should be, and the fine teeth handle everything from tender grasses to woody stems without plugging up or requiring constant attention.

Good to Know

This is a direct replacement that bolts right to your existing knife back – no modifications needed. When installing, make sure your guards are properly aligned and your knife has the right clearance. A sharp knife with properly set guards will cut clean and last longer than one that’s fighting misaligned hardware.
