Ventrac 4231 Sickle Bar

BKBrown · Aug 4, 2014

I've been looking for a Sickle Bar that will fit the 4231 Ventrac.
I understand that there were some made for the Steiner that would fit the Vetrac.

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks !

I would like to know that answer too? I asked my local dealer about a cycle bar mower for a Steiner and he said that people retro fitted the mowers already.

If there is one out there, I have first Dibs! lol

They were just too expensive and as with so many other things, they were a liability issue!

I guess I didn't update this thread. I have one now and it was located by one of the Steiner brothers for me.

The bar will cut at any angle from below horizontal to vertical. It needs 2 suitcase weights to counter balance the bar. This was a slightly used (like new) unit and I had it shipped from the dealer who had it.

Thanks, It does a great job - I just wish it was about a foot longer - I can't quite get down to the water level on the inside of our Dam.

Yes, tools and attachments can always be a little bigger or a little longer. An extra foot would reach without attempting to do something I should not and will not do. I don't want a tractor at the bottom of the pond.

Just run the duals...it should float lol...I had our old Steiner in about 2 feet of water once...with duals it didn't float but it felt like it was about too....
