680 HY StarGate
Motor mower with new continuously variable transmission (CVT) and PowerSafe® hydraulic clutch.
The 680 HY StarGate ushers in a new generation of BCS multifunctional motor mowers.
The completely redesigned and patented hydrostatic transmission introduces the continuously variable transmission system to a wide range of users: from advanced hobby farmers to professional farmers, and from individuals to the greenery caretaker.
The differential with lock and independent working brakes make the 680 HY StarGate motor mower agile and easy to handle in all working conditions.
The new driving position also ensures excellent comfort, making grass cutting, green maintenance, and snow removal operations even easier, more intuitive, and more comfortable.
HY | Continuously variable transmission
The user of the 680 HY StarGate motor mower is given an advantage by the continuously variable transmission, especially in case of terrain that is irregular, when manoeuvring around obstacles and in general in cases where machine speed and direction are often changed.
The manoeuvre does not require any action on the clutch and gear levers, it simply requires adjustment of the EasyGrip lever positioned on the handlebar without releasing the driving handlebars for greater comfort in total safety.

Honda Alps motors for steep slopes.
Thanks to specific technical solutions, the Honda Alps gasoline engines make it possible to work even on slopes exceeding a 30-degree gradient, without loss of performance or any failures.
Continuously variable transmission (CVT).
StarGate hydrostatic transmission
Greater comfort in total safety.
With hydrostatic transmission, the forward speed can be changed continuously and independently, both from the PTO as well as from the engine’s rotation speed.
The work conditions are thus more relaxed and comfortable, especially in difficult operational situations and during manoeuvres.
PowerSafe® hydraulic clutch.
PowerSafe® hydraulic clutch
Unique and inimitable.
The exclusive PowerSafe® clutch with hydraulically-operated multiple steel disc in oil bath, not only guarantees maximum reliability but also greater operational comfort, safety and high performance in any conditions of use.
Axle with differential.
The differential allows the two drive wheels of the motor mower to rotate at different speeds, especially when turning, offering several advantages:
-
Improved maneuverability: during steering, the inner wheel travels a shorter path than the outer one; the differential enables this difference in rotation, making the turn smooth.
-
Reduced effort: the operator does not have to forcefully correct the trajectory.
-
Greater operating comfort: especially on flat terrain or with good grip.
By locking the differential using a lever on the handlebar, the two wheels are instead forced to rotate at the same speed, providing the following benefits:
-
Maximum traction: useful on uneven, muddy, snowy or slippery ground.
-
No power loss: prevents one wheel from spinning while the other remains stationary.
Driving position.
The driving position, with height and side adjustable handlebars, has been completely redesigned and is now equipped with:
- Motorcycle handlebar levers which are even more comfortable to operate.
- Knobs with soft non-slip grip.
- Forward motion command with EasyGrip lever to continuously vary the speed and direction of the machine.
- New silent-blocks to reduce vibrations.
Safety.
- Independent working brakes on the two wheels, housed in cast iron drums.
- Lever parking brake acting on both wheels.
- Forward motion of the machine or activation of the power take-off is only allowed while holding down the red safety lever.
When the operator releases the handlebar, the PowerSafe® hydraulic clutch ensures the immediate stop of both the PTO and wheel traction, without shutting off the engine.
Work can be resumed safely thanks to the dual-action system, which requires pulling the clutch lever before lowering the red safety lever.
Three-pronged power take-off.
Three-pronged power take-off
Exclusive patented system.
The PTO, which is independent of the gearbox with oil-bath engagement, features the unique and patented three-pronged engagement system to transfer power from the engine to the attachment.
