Sickle Bar mowers - who makes them?

[KofAlberta]

I’d like to get up to date on manufacturers / models of sickle bar mowers in case a great deal comes up in the future.

Right now we have an old 1970s Jari Monarch mower which we still hope to use for years. It’s been a great tool. Rarely have seen a used one for sale in my part of the world so unfortunately at some point we may face having to replace the whole unit. Therefore I’d like to get up to date on manufacturers / models in case a great deal comes up in the future.

Is anyone aware of who-all now makes sickle bar mowers these days?

It would be nice to create complete list of manufacturers and peoples’ experience with them for others to reference.

What size or length are you looking at?

I did a quick google search and found 3 or 4 companies.

One was farm king which I believe is available in both US and Canada

We just use ours for trail maintenance. Only 3-4’

Not a 12-14’ PTO unit.

Toro has or had a self powered walk behind one too.

Actually I think Toro now has a walk behind bush mower.
