Clearing capability

The BC2601HM is intended for vegetation that can be difficult to manage with a conventional lawn mower. Billy Goat states that the fixed-deck BC Series can cut thick brush, grass and weeds over 180cm tall, along with saplings up to 5cm in diameter. This makes the machine relevant to clearing overgrown fields, meadows and trails or paths.

Its 26-inch cutting width provides a broad working pass, and the manufacturer lists productivity of 2,700m² per hour. Actual output will depend on vegetation and working conditions.

Drive and operator controls

Self-propelled drive reduces the need to push the machine through rough or overgrown areas. The geared transmission provides three forward speeds and one reverse gear, giving the operator a choice of travel speed and a reverse option when manoeuvring.

The wide, ergonomically angled handles have padded grips and guards, with forward and reverse drive controls operated from the handles.

Fixed deck and cutting height

The rigid fixed rear-discharge deck is designed to remain stable in deep vegetation. The cutting height is fixed at 9.5cm, so it is not adjustable to suit different mowing heights. A blade spindle reinforced in four directions is specified for durability in harsh cutting conditions.
