The BCS 618 is simple to manoeuvre and straightforward to operate, even in confined areas. The driven wheels and powerful cutting teeth mean that user input is kept to a minimum; you let the scythe do the work for you.

A locking differential makes the 618 extremely manoeuvrable and capable of being used with many useful implements.

The 618 has the option of a Honda GP160 or a Honda GX270 engine, with each machine able to operate a choice of scythe cutter bars. The GX270 option enables the power unit to be able to operate a variety of other implements including the double reciprocating (duplex) scythe cutter bar.

Description

The BCS 618 is the first machine within the power scythe range that feaures a locking differential. This can be unlocked for turning in tight spaces and locked when working the machine across a slope.

The 618 is fitted with 4x10 agricultural wheels that provide more ground clearance than the smaller models which can be useful on rutted or undulating ground.

The choice between a long or short oil bath is very much operator dependent. A longer oil bath can help provide additional stability for the machine on difficult terrain but will change the balance of the machine and make the nose feel heavier. Again this can be preferable for certain ground conditions.
