Long-Lasting Sickle Sections Hardened AllThe Way Through COMBINES Accessories 23-6-36 Unlike most conventional sickle sections, which are hardened only along the cutting edge, these new sections are heat-treated and totally hardened all the way through.
SI Distributing says the new SCH sections û which are imported from Germany - are available for Deere, New Holland, Case-IH, and Agco combine cutterbars.
"Because the sections are totally hardened, they cannot bend so guard life is extended. Bent sections wear the guards out, causing the greatest damage to cutterbars. These sections cut at peak performance 30 to 40 percent longer than conventions sickle sections," says Joe Whitney.
They're available in regular (12 serrations per inch) or coarse (7 serrations per inch), depending on what kind of ground you're working in and the condition of the crop. The coarse sections are stronger so they're better on rocky ground.
The new sickle sections sell for 80 cents apiece.
