Why the BCS 614 Crusader Power Scythe?
The BCS 614 is a versatile power scythe offering a single working speed and a choice of cutter bar widths.
This makes the 614 is ideal for open areas of 1-3 acres, as well as for cutting areas where there are obstacles such as trees.
The 614 is the ideal entry-level power scythe, and offers great value for money especially as it is fitted with the cost-effective Honda GP160 engine option.
The 614 can also be fitted with a power brush for sweeping leaves in autumn and snow in winter.
Implements and Attachments
The BCS Crusader Power Scythes are capable of operating a range of other front-mounted implements.
However, unlike the Two Wheel Tractors, the handlebars on these machines do not rotate 180° so they cannot operate the ground cultivation attachments.
See the IMPLEMENTS tab above for more details.
