680 HY StarGate
Motor mower with new continuously variable transmission (CVT) and PowerSafe® hydraulic clutch.
With the 680 HY StarGate the new era for BCS multifunctional motor mowers has begun!
The new, completely redesigned, transmission opens up the approach to the machine with hydrostatic drive for a wide pool of users: from hobby farmers to professional farmers, and from individuals to the greenery caretaker.
In addition, the new driving position makes using the professional motor mowers for mowing grass and greens maintenance even easier, more intuitive and 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.

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.
- Forward motion of the machine or activation of the power take-off is only permitted with the red safety lever actuated.
- PowerSafe® hydraulic clutch which guarantees, when the handlebar is released, that the PTO and wheel traction stop immediately without, however, stopping the engine, which remains running for safely resuming work later on, thanks to the double-action system that consists of pulling the clutch lever and then lowering the red safety lever.
- Independent working brakes on the two wheels and enclosed in cast iron housings.
- Lever parking brake acting on both wheels.
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.
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.
