Scythe Mowers Barbieri

Barbieri scythe mowers are self-propelled machines designed for mowing tall grass, rough meadows and agricultural land. The brand was established in Sossano in 1958 as Agricola Sossanese and became Barbieri in 1960, when it began producing its first single-wheel two-wheel tractor. During the 1970s and 1980s, the company expanded its range and developed an international presence, consolidating its specialisation in small-scale agricultural machinery and green area maintenance. The scythe mowers available at AgriEuro meet the needs of private users with large plots, farms and operators carrying out periodic mowing work. Their compact structure, traction system and cutter bar cut vegetation at its base, leaving it spread across the ground for subsequent collection or drying.

The Barbieri product type available on this page is intended for jobs requiring a robust mechanical transmission:

• Barbieri medium-large scythe mowers with gear transmission: they use oil-bath lubricated gears to transfer power to the traction system and cutting unit. They are suitable for regular mowing on large plots, tall grass and land requiring a machine with controlled forward movement.

At AgriEuro, Barbieri scythe mowers can be selected according to their technical features, helping identify the configuration best suited to the surface, vegetation and frequency of work. Comparing the data in the product specifications makes it possible to assess the following main elements:

• Gear transmission: the gears transfer power through a mechanical system lubricated in an oil bath. This configuration is suitable for frequent mowing sessions and operating conditions requiring consistent traction;
• Gear configuration: the number of forward speeds and the presence of reverse affect control over the machine's movement. A suitable speed allows steadier progress as grass density and ground conditions change;
• Petrol engine: displacement and rated power must be matched to the cutter-bar width and expected workload. The recoil starter simplifies starting on models equipped with this system;
• Cutting width: a wider bar covers a larger strip with each pass. Narrower bars make manoeuvring easier in irregular spaces, between obstacles and along edges;
• Recommended working area: this value guides the choice according to the size of the plot and the required working time. It should be considered together with power, cutting width, slope and vegetation density.

The models in this category may suit domestic, semi-professional and professional applications, depending on the configuration specified for each product. A private user may employ them for seasonal mowing on a plot; a farm or green maintenance operator may consider them for more frequent work. The selected machine must always be operated within the limits and instructions provided by the manufacturer.

The range available at AgriEuro includes a product type intended for mowing medium-large surfaces. Its mechanical transmission and cutter bar meet different requirements from lightweight belt-driven machines. Comparing the configurations helps match structure, cutting capacity and manoeuvrability to the operating environment.

Barbieri medium-large scythe mowers with gear transmission are designed for mowing meadows, agricultural plots and land covered with tall vegetation. The oil-bath gear transmission transfers power through lubricated components, making it a suitable solution for repeated jobs and heavier workloads. The cutter bar cuts vegetation at its base and leaves the grass spread across the ground, which is useful when the material needs to be collected or dried. The traction system reduces the effort required for forward movement compared with a machine that must be pushed. Where available, different speeds allow the working pace to be adapted to vegetation density and ground conditions. Cutter-bar width affects both productivity and ease of movement between obstacles. Engine, weight, tyres and handlebar adjustments complete the technical specifications that should be checked on each model's product page before selection.

This product type features several distinctive operating characteristics:

• Tall-grass cutting: the cutter bar cuts vegetation with a reciprocating motion and limits material shredding. The resulting cut facilitates windrow formation and subsequent mowing operations;
• Controlled forward movement: traction and the available gear ratios help maintain a pace suited to the load on the cutter bar. Reverse gear, where included, makes it easier to move away from edges and enclosed passages;
• Work on large surfaces: the combination of engine, cutter bar and transmission is designed to cover larger plots than compact scythe mowers. The actual recommended working area always depends on the specifications declared for each machine.

Purchasing a Barbieri scythe mower from AgriEuro makes it possible to compare configurations and technical specifications within the same category. Dedicated services support the order and remain available after the machine has been delivered.

• Fast and free delivery: shipping is organised by AgriEuro's logistics centres, with order status information available to the customer. The service allows the scythe mower to be delivered to the specified address without additional transport costs, according to the conditions stated on the page;
• Possibility to order spare parts that are always available: after purchase, the spare-parts diagram associated with the product makes it possible to identify and order the required components. This system helps select the code referring to the purchased machine and simplifies the search for spare parts over time;
• Attentive and personalised after-sales support: AgriEuro's service provides support for technical requests, spare parts and work covered by the applicable conditions. The Central Workshop and service centres make it possible to follow the different stages of the request using references linked to the order.

A Barbieri scythe mower is used to cut tall grass and herbaceous vegetation on meadows, agricultural land and rough surfaces. The bar cuts the material at its base and leaves it on the ground, making the machine suitable when the grass needs to be collected or left to dry.

The choice depends on the size and shape of the land, grass height, frequency of work and manoeuvring space. Cutting width, power, gears, weight and the recommended working area stated for each model should then be compared.

An oil-bath gear transmission transfers power through mechanical components lubricated inside the housing. This configuration is suitable for repeated, demanding work; oil checks and changes must follow the intervals and procedures specified in the manual.

A wider cutter bar covers more ground with each pass and is suitable for open, regular plots. A narrower bar is more practical between trees, fences, edges and uneven sections; its width must always be matched to the power provided by the model.

Yes, scythe mowers with cutter bars are also intended for mowing tall grass. Dense or damp grass and tough vegetation may require a lower speed and suitable configuration; stones, branches and other obstacles must be removed before mowing.

Some Barbieri models are also designed for inclined surfaces, but the permitted working slope depends on the machine and fitted engine. Before starting work, the manual, traction, ground conditions and manufacturer-stated limits must be checked without exceeding the safety instructions.

The gears allow the forward speed to be adapted to the type of vegetation and ground profile. Reverse gear, on configurations where it is available, facilitates manoeuvres at the end of a pass and movement away from obstacles.

The bar requires cleaning after work, inspection of its sections and lubrication of the specified points according to the manual. Sharpening, blade-holder adjustment and replacement of worn components must follow the manufacturer's procedures and be performed with the engine switched off.

The scythe mower should be stored clean, dry and protected from the weather. The specific manual must be followed for fuel, engine oil, spark plug, filter and cutter-bar protection, as the required procedures vary according to the engine and storage period.

Spare parts can be found through the spare-parts diagram linked to the product, available in the AgriEuro account after purchase. The model and order references help identify the correct component before submitting the request.
