Eterra 9 Ft. Sickle Bar Mower Head for Raptor Boom Arm

Eterra 9 Ft. Sickle Bar Mower Head for Raptor Boom Arm

The 9 ft. sickle bar mower head is the widest cut available for the Eterra Raptor Boom Arm. On long uninterrupted runs — highway shoulders, canal banks, levees, mile-long fence lines — those extra feet compound into real acres per hour. It is the production choice, and it asks for a machine and operator comfortable with the leverage. Available from Skid Steer Store.

Why a Sickle Bar Instead of a Flail or Rotary

• Almost no thrown material — essential on highway shoulders with traffic passing.
• Low power draw for the width — 9 ft. of cut without needing a high-flow machine.
• Clean shear — healthier regrowth than shredding, which matters on managed right-of-way.
• Quiet — a genuine advantage on residential and park work.
• Cuts wet and aquatic growth — canal and shoreline vegetation that clogs a flail.

Choosing Your Bar Length

A 9 ft. bar puts the most weight and leverage at the end of the boom. It rewards open ground and penalises tight, obstacle-heavy sites.

Cutting Capacity

Cuts grass, weeds, reeds and brush up to roughly 2" in diameter. For heavier material, look at the Sidewinder flail or Cyclone rotary heads.

Requires the Raptor Boom Arm

This is a mower head, not a standalone attachment. It mounts to the Eterra Raptor Boom Arm. Note that Eterra recommends the Raptor on a skid steer of at least 6,000 lbs — a point worth confirming before pairing it with the longest bar.

Common Applications

Highway and interstate shoulder mowing, canal and irrigation bank maintenance, levee and embankment work, large-acreage fence lines, airport and solar farm perimeters, and municipal contract mowing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 9 ft. too much for my machine?
Eterra recommends at least a 6,000 lb skid steer for the Raptor itself. With the longest bar at full extension, machine weight and stability matter more still. Contact Skid Steer Store with your model if you are near that threshold.

When is 9 ft. the right choice?
When you are billing by the mile or the acre on open ground. On tight sites the extra width becomes a liability rather than an advantage.

What will it cut?
Grass, weeds, reeds and brush up to about 2" in diameter.

Can I run this without a Raptor Boom Arm?
No. It is built exclusively for the Raptor.
