Malleable Rock Guard for Ford Dearborn Bar Mowers

Description

When you’re cutting hayfield edges or mowing around old fence rows, that sickle bar takes a beating from rocks, stumps, and whatever else is hiding in the grass. A broken or bent sickle bar guard means downtime and costly repairs when you should be getting hay in the barn. This heavy-duty malleable rock guard keeps your cutter bar running smooth and protects your investment.

What You’re Getting

• Heavy-duty malleable iron construction that bends instead of breaking when you hit something solid
• Single prong design fits most Ford Dearborn bar mowers with 1/2-inch bar size
• Direct replacement that mounts just like the original—no modifications needed
• Heat-treated malleable finish resists wear and handles field abuse

Built for Real Farm Work

This guard is made for the Ford Dearborn sickle bar mowers that have been cutting hay and brush for decades. Whether you’re running an older Ford tractor with a mounted bar or a pull-type unit, this guard keeps the cutting section working when you encounter rocks or debris. These mowers are workhorses for maintaining fence rows, cutting waterways, and handling rough ground where disc mowers can’t go.

Made to Last

The malleable iron construction is the key here—it’s tough enough to protect your sickle bar but flexible enough to bend rather than snap when you hit something hard. The heat treatment process creates a guard that can take repeated impacts while maintaining its shape and mounting integrity season after season.

Good to Know

Installation is straightforward—remove the old guard and bolt this one in place using your existing hardware. Keep a few spares on hand since rocks have a way of finding sickle bars when you’re in a hurry. The malleable construction means you can often straighten a bent guard with a hammer if it gets tweaked.
