Sickle Bar Excavator Mounting
Double Pin Hitch
We build the double pin hitch to suit your machine’s pin dimensions to be pinned on manually or picked up by a coupler.
The hedge trimmer has 3 mounting points on the trimmer bar – one on each side and one in the middle.
Cutting Configuration
The standard double pin mount holds the sickle bar perpendicular to the machine. You will have to slew the machine sideways and track forwards to trim.
The angle of the trimmer will be controlled by the bucket cylinder on the machine.
90 Degree Adapter
The 90 degree adapter lets you mount the hedge trimmer sickle bar parallel with the machine so that you can track forward and cut.
