Bar mower

Robustness, a wide range of applications and high efficiency make bar mowers (oscillating mowing technology) a frequently used type of mower. In contrast to mowers with rotating cutting tools, bar mowers with moving blades work according to the scissor-cut principle. The mowed material is cut cleanly and smoothly instead of being chopped and frayed as with the rotary method. This mowing technology offers numerous other advantages in terms of safety, environmental protection and power consumption. It has proven to be versatile in both professional and hobby mowing applications. Bar mowers are therefore used in almost all areas of mowing.

The advantages of using bar mowers

Compared to rotary mowers, the mowing technology of bar mowers allows for general protection of the clippings thanks to a clean cut. This benefits the harvested material and the living plant residue in equal measure. Forage harvested with a bar mower stays fresh for longer and provides more nutrients. This in turn improves the milk and meat quality of the fed animals. In addition, significantly fewer dead soil organisms are incorporated into the mown crop, thus minimising the formation of toxins in the forage.

Environmental protection, conservation of living organisms and sustainability are further positive aspects of mowing with a bar mower. While rotating mowers leave insects and soil organisms little opportunity to escape, bar mowers protect the fauna of meadows and pastures. The mown plant itself also benefits from the clean cut. They grow back much faster, allowing the green areas to regenerate in the short term.

The advantages of gentle mowing and a clean cut are also noticeable when mowing in private areas. Here, a bar mower allows you to work with significantly less fatigue than a rotary mower. The rapid oscillation of the blades results in low-vibration mowing and correspondingly pleasant operation of the device. The protection of the clippings is clearly visible and has a direct effect on the mowing result. Here too, the sward and root area are less stressed than with a rotary mower. This mowing method promotes the growth of the plant and the cut of the lawn is clean and even.

Professional bar mowers with ESM cutting units

The versatility of bar mowers is reflected in the wide range of applications for oscillating mowing technology from ESM. ESM single and double-knife bars are used in a wide range of motorised mowers. They can be operated at the front or side of a machine. The choice of bar width depends on the area of application. Other criteria that should be taken into account when purchasing are consumption, maintenance and cleaning properties and handling. A high-quality bar mower with an ESM cutting unit offers a long service life and reliable, safe and power-saving mowing. The drive units for bar mowers can often also be used for other work. This means that the drives for bar mowers can also be used for other attachments and a wide range of work. This compatibility has the advantage that space and purchase costs can be saved.
