Mountain motor mowers

Working in alpine environments and on steep slopes requires reliable, powerful and, above all, safe machines.

To meet these needs, BCS has developed a range of professional motor mowers specifically designed for forage mowing in mountains, while remaining extremely versatile for general use in demanding conditions.

The dedicated range includes three core models, all featuring exclusive technical solutions that ensure stability, traction and control even on the most challenging gradients:

 

Three motor mowers engineered for mountain professionals, combining high performance, mechanical robustness and maximum operator safety.

 

Technical solutions engineered for slope work.

BCS motor mowers for mountain mowing stand out among professional machines thanks to a series of unique technical features developed to tackle steep slopes without compromise:

• Honda Alps engines, designed to ensure reliable performance even on inclines over 30°.
• ‘WS’ steering-clutches with combined brake control and independent operation on both wheels, ensuring precise steering even on challenging terrain.
• Cascade gear reduction units in oil bath on the wheels, increasing track width for improved lateral stability and optimal power transmission to the ground.
• PowerSafe® clutch, hydraulically operated with multiple discs in oil bath, enhancing safety, durability and user comfort.
• Reinforced gearbox with cast iron housings, designed for durability under heavy mountain use.
• Independent PTO with oil-bath engagement for enhanced reliability and better work quality.
• Laterally adjustable handlebars for secure operator positioning even on uneven terrain.
• Wheels for slope mowing, available in clawed, twin or Super Bite versions to suit all terrain types.

The BCS mountain motor mowers also feature a simple and intuitive user interface, with clear pictograms and ergonomically positioned controls for easy recognition and operation.

 

Different transmissions for specific needs.

Each model in the range meets specific operational requirements:

• 630 WS PowerSafe^® : mechanical transmission with 3 forward and 3 reverse gears and a mechanical quick-reverse shuttle.
• 630 WS EasyDrive^® PowerSafe^® : mechanical transmission with EasyDrive® hydro-mechanical shuttle for smoother direction changes and reduced operator fatigue.
• 660 HY WS PowerSafe^® : hydrostatic drive with continuous variation, dual speed ranges and EasyRider travel control for maximum command in any situation.

 

Total safety: a fundamental requirement in the mountains.

In alpine environments, safety is not an option: it is essential. For this reason, all BCS motor mowers are equipped with advanced safety systems:

• Forward motion only when the red safety lever is engaged.
• Immediate stop of the PTO and travel if the handlebars are released, while the engine remains running for quick and safe work resumption.
• Independent steering brake-clutch units on both wheels.
• Parking brake on all models:
  • lever-operated on the 630 WS PowerSafe^®,
  • automatic on the 630 WS EasyDrive^® PowerSafe^®,
  • automatic Auto-hold on the 660 HY WS PowerSafe^®, capable of locking the machine even at the limit of traction and with the engine off.
• On 660 HY WS PowerSafe^® , the motorcycle-style EasyRider travel control allows the operator to maintain right-hand control of direction and speed, increasing operational control and safety on steep slopes.

 

BCS: the ideal partner for professional mountain mowing.

With decades of experience in agricultural mechanisation and technical solutions developed for the toughest working conditions, BCS motor mowers are a benchmark choice for professionals in mountain forage mowing, where reliability, stability and safety make all the difference.
