BCS - Model 622 - Reaper-Binder
The success of BCS mower comes from a brilliant intuition that made this machine versatile for other uses as well. 622 combined with a reaper-binder attachment becomes a true harvester for corn, sesame, lavender, officinal herbs, common reeds and any other crop requiring mowing and tying in heaps or bundles.
622 reaper-binder has a4 forward speed and 1 reverse speed gearbox; it is operated by asingle-cylinder diesel engine from Lombardini, type 3LD450, 10 HP.
Thedifferential with lockandindependent control brakes on the two wheelspermit the best control of the machine on any type of ground.
There are two versions of reaper-binder available:
- Standard reaper-binderfor those products whose height does not exceed 70/80 cm from ground.
- Special reaper-binder with raised chassisso that all the crops whose ground clearance is higher than 80 cm can easily flow under the axle.
Thecutting height is 140 cmand the cutter bar is available with standard fingers (finger clearance: 76 cm), low cut fingers (finger clearance: 38 mm) or mulching fingers to prevent clogging, in particular for common reeds.
Theforksover the cutter bar move constantly and continuously, to convey cut crop towards the tying attachment.
Thebinderis a patent by BCS and is true technical exploit: tying of cut product and wire cutting can be adjusted once the heap is ready. The diameter of the latter can be adjusted in three positions using a suitable spring.
The standard reaper-binderis directly applied onto the transmission unit of 622.
The ground clearance and the overall dimensions are the same in this version, that can be used for crops with ground clearance not higher than 70/80 cm.
Available with tying at 19 or 28 cm of height.
Thespecial reaper-binderuses a special chassis where the transmission assembly of 622 is integrated.
This chassis is used to raise the structure of the complete machine; in this way, crops with ground clearance higher than 80 cm can easily flow under the axle after being cut.
Available with tying at 19 or 28 cm of height.
To work in a comfortable position while being seated, aspecial single-wheel sulky with padded seatwas developed, to be fitted on the axle of 622.
