Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
What this machine is
The Breckland Sickle Mower is a rugged, walk‑behind cutter designed to tackle long grass, rough verges, banks and overgrown plots where a standard rotary mower won’t cope. Built for reliability on tough sites, it combines a heavy‑duty sickle bar with a robust gearbox and a petrol engine to deliver steady, low‑maintenance cutting power.
Jobs it’s suited for
- Cutting long grass and coarse vegetation on paddocks, roadside verges and embankments
- Site clearance before landscaping or groundwork
- Preparing rough ground for turfing or seeding
- Routine maintenance of larger gardens and smallholdings
Key specs & features
- Cutting width: typically 60–90cm depending on model — ideal for narrow access and larger swathes
- Petrol engine for reliable start‑up and power on remote sites
- Heavy‑duty sickle bar blades for clean, efficient cuts through long and coarse growth
- Adjustable cutting height and sturdy wheels for uneven terrain
- Simple, serviceable drive train to keep downtime low
Why hire rather than buy
If you only need a mower for occasional clearance or seasonal work, hiring makes far more sense than buying. Save on capital outlay, storage and maintenance — and avoid the cost of servicing and blade replacement. Hire the Sickle Mower from our Attleborough depot when you need it and return it when the job’s done. We offer delivery within 20 miles of Attleborough and Wymondham and free collection if you prefer to pick up.
Operator & safety notes
- Always clear the work area of stones, wire and debris to prevent thrown objects and blade damage.
- Wear suitable PPE: ear protection, eye protection, gloves and sturdy boots.
- Do not operate on steep slopes where stability is compromised — take extra care on banks and uneven ground.
- Turn off the engine and isolate ignition before inspecting or adjusting blades.
- Only operate machines you are competent to use; contact Breckland Plant Hire if you need a quick demo or guidance on safe operation of the Sickle Mower.
For landscapers, groundworkers and homeowners tackling overgrown areas, our Sickle Mower is an efficient, reliable hire option — robust enough for trade use yet simple to operate. As a family‑run company based in Attleborough we provide practical advice, prompt delivery and collection across Norfolk and Suffolk, plus exclusive trade discounts for account holders.
