Looks like a sickle bar blade converted to an anchor


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I was hoping someone knew of someone putting this sort of anchor together.
Guess I need to template these bad boys and figure it out as sickle bars are sort of uncommon in these parts.

I lost my communication with the guy who knew the guy making this when the PM’s got pruned.

Mike that's what does the cutting of the hay or what ever it is that's being harvested.
If you knew some farmers they replace them from time to time on the swathers and combines and the wore out one's go into the scrap metal pile.

Somebody throw me a link to that sickle bar part? Or offer me a price on salvaged material?




This has been yet to date the only anchor to hold for my needs.
I would seriously appreciate help in locating either the manufactured anchor or the sickle bar material that I could make my own from.

It’s a picture of it.
I used it, a bit, and it is still in the field.

I sure hope one of the western wheat farmers on here will chime in . I hate to see you have to buy new ones when their are thousands of used ones that are just going to go in the junk .

Interesting when I went on that site it first listed them at 38$USD but it searched my location and it fell to 23$Cd, for 25 or a dollar each.

We use them for bottom teeth of scare crows we weld up for the garden centers and the scickle tooth as the beak.

Yeah, not fond of the online pricing. Used would work just fine for me.

Someone is welding up lawn ornaments I'd guess chickens and using sickles for a beak on them.
In some cases I've seen where they were added to a broken axe handle and used to cut bailing twine on hay bales when feeding cows.

Mike I'm going out to set a snare line and a bit of coyote calling I'll do some asking for some if I get a chance and let you know.
If there is a scrap metal recycling center up there they may have some ?

Any Tractor Supply or local farm store will carry them. They are sickle bar teeth. Come serrated or smooth. Used on sickle bar mowers, and yes combines and swathers.

As others have correctly stated.....they are sickle bar sections.....used on hay mowers and combines alike. I have a whole stack of used ones in the barn.

What I'm trying to figure out is why anybody would want one?

The anchor pictured at the to of this thread has proven to have the best holding potential of any I have tried. I was hoping to buy more of that type anchor but have come to the conclusion that I most likely will have to make them myself.
This isn’t ag country up here. Heck, I have never even seen that type of mower, much less a combine, up here. So that leaves me with no local source.
