Scythe Mowers BlackStone

BlackStone sickle bar mowers are self-propelled machines designed to mow tall and wild grass by cutting the stems close to the ground. They are suitable for the periodic maintenance of rough lawns, small plots, orchards and surfaces where the vegetation is too tall for a conventional lawn mower. The cut material remains intact and can be collected for use as fodder, provided that its condition and intended use make it suitable.

BlackStone develops, imports and distributes equipment for gardening, agriculture, construction and other sectors throughout Europe. Over the years, the brand has expanded its catalogue to serve both hobbyists and professional operators, with a continued focus on technology, quality and value. The range is selected for the European market and supported by spare parts and after-sales assistance.

At AgriEuro, the category includes BlackStone small belt-driven sickle bar mowers, designed for hobby work on smaller surfaces and seasonal mowing of tall grass. Their compact size provides greater control while moving and manoeuvring through restricted spaces.

At AgriEuro, sickle bar mowers can be selected according to their technical features, helping customers identify the machine best suited to the type of vegetation, surface and frequency of work. The main elements to assess include the cutting system, transmission, engine and machine configuration.

• Cutter bar: it operates at the front of the machine and cuts stems close to the ground. Before starting work, check the condition of the blades, teeth and fasteners;
• Blade movement: in standard systems, the upper blade oscillates over the fixed lower counter-blade. This configuration is common on machines intended for hobby mowing;
• Final belt drive: it connects the transmission assembly to the cutter bar and is protected by a cover. In the event of an impact, the belt can slip and limit the load transferred to the mechanical components;
• Cutting width: this indicates the strip covered in a single pass. The choice should take into account the size of the surface, manoeuvring space and the presence of narrow passages;
• Petrol engine: it powers both the drive and cutting unit, according to the model's configuration. Displacement and power should be assessed together with grass density and workload;
• Wheels and handlebar: these affect steering control, traction and the operator's posture. The available adjustments depend on the individual model and should be checked in its technical specifications.

This category is primarily intended for hobby use. It may be considered for the periodic mowing of small plots, rough lawns and areas of orchards with tall grass but no woody shrubs.

Compact sickle bar mowers meet the needs of users working on smaller surfaces who require a more substantial machine than a handheld tool. The final belt drive transfers power to the cutter bar through a simple system enclosed by a dedicated cover. The choice should be based on the type of vegetation and ground conditions.

BlackStone small belt-driven sickle bar mowers are designed to mow tall and wild grass on smaller plots. The front cutter bar cuts the stems at their base without shredding them as a rotary cutting system would; this leaves the material laid out on the ground so that it can be collected when its condition allows. The compact structure facilitates changes of direction and movement between rows, fences or other obstacles, provided the available space is compatible with the width of the bar. Positioned between the central transmission and the cutting unit, the belt can slip following an impact and reduce the load on more delicate components. Before each work session, remove stones, branches and foreign objects from the surface, inspect the bar and consult the instructions in the manual. After mowing, grass residues and soil must be removed with the engine switched off and the cutting unit stationary.

A BlackStone sickle bar mower is used to mow tall and wild grass by cutting the stems close to the ground. It is suitable for rough lawns, small plots and orchards where the vegetation is too tall for a conventional lawn mower.

The final belt drive transfers power from the central assembly to the cutter bar. The belt is protected by a cover and can slip following an impact, reducing the load transferred to the more delicate mechanical components.

The cutting width should be chosen according to the size of the surface, the available passages and the frequency of manoeuvres. A wider bar covers more ground with each pass; a narrower bar facilitates work between rows, fences and obstacles.

Yes, a sickle bar mower is specifically designed to mow tall and wild grass. Density, moisture and the presence of woody stems may affect the result and travel speed, so the ground should be inspected before starting work.

A sickle bar mower cuts the stems at their base with a front bar and leaves the material mostly intact. A lawn mower maintains lawns through regular cutting; a brush cutter is a handheld tool intended for edges, finishing work and hard-to-reach areas.

Suitability for work on slopes depends on the model, traction, ground conditions and the limits specified in the manual. An acceptable gradient must not be inferred from the category alone: always follow the manufacturer's instructions and stop work whenever stability and control are inadequate.

Before starting, check the condition and fastening of the bar, guards, stop controls, clutch and the absence of leaks. Remove stones, branches and other foreign objects from the surface; follow the manual for the complete procedure applicable to the specific model.

The bar must only be cleaned when the engine is switched off, the cutting unit is stationary and the machine is stable. Grass, soil and other residues should be removed without using flammable liquids; lubrication and other work must be carried out according to the manual.

The belt should be inspected at the intervals stated in the manual and whenever unusual slipping or irregular cutter-bar operation occurs. Tensioning, wear assessment and replacement require the procedures specified for the model to be followed, always with the machine switched off.

Yes, AgriEuro makes available spare parts orderable through the diagram associated with the product in the customer's account and provides after-sales assistance. Service conditions depend on the product and the specific case, so the model, proof of purchase and a description of the problem must be provided.
