Scythe Mowers

Eat your way through brambles and other thick vegetation with a German-engineered scythe mower from AL-KO. The robust BM 875 IV is a powerful and specialist machine, which can cut grass as cleanly as it does thick undergrowth. Optimum benefits are to be gained from use in paddocks and orchards, as well as wild meadows.

With its powerful 2.7kW petrol engine and a cutting width of 87cm, this AL-KO scythe mower gives you the powerful mowing power to get through large areas of up to 3000m² quickly, efficiently and effortlessly. This workhorse guarantees that it can handle almost any undergrowth and terrain. The movable grass deflector prevents grass from remaining on the cover which reduces work interruptions.

The engine ensures that the blades attached to the cutter bar work quickly and evenly - and drives the wheel drive (one forward gear) that can be switched on and off via a worm gear. In conjunction with the height-adjustable, vibration-damped handlebar for perfect device guidance and the 13" wide tyres with farmer's profile, optimal handling is guaranteed in any terrain and on slopes up to approximately 20° incline.

The heart of the BM 875 IV mower is the wide cutter bar with edge protection to protect the blade and ensure safe handling of the device. Its extra-hardened high-performance blade from the German manufacturer ESM combines strong mowing performance and optimal mowing results with durability and minimal wear - whether in continuous use or during longer periods of downtime (seasonal use). The encapsulated driver increases the running time by significantly reducing dirt and grass residue on the blade. The continuously height-adjustable soles and the extreme mobility of the device also ensure comfortable work.

Whether it's a natural garden, a meadow orchard, difficult terrain or a slope: the AL-KO BM 875 IV scythe mower is your extremely powerful, versatile specialist for the care and management of your natural meadows, and can also be used economically for the production of forage grass, on animal paddocks, etc. It is the workhorse for the rough work - and still guarantees ecological garden care.

The solo® by AL-KO BF 5002 R II combi device is a very powerful basic device and can be optionally converted for four applications. Whether as a scythe mower for garden maintenance and forage grass production, as a tiller for digging or hoeing, as a front sickle mower for clean mowing of meadows or simply attaching a ridging plough - with just a few simple steps you can equip the all-rounder with the right attachment and carry out the task efficiently and effortlessly.

The height-adjustable and swivelling (up to 180°) handlebar makes it extremely comfortable to use and allows easy manoeuvering even in narrow, winding courtyards and halls, on meadow and field edges. This makes the combi device a reliable and versatile helper for every home and garden owner who wants to complete all the tasks around their property with just one machine. 

With the 3.8kW output of its powerful Loncin 196cc petrol engine, the combi machine is ideally equipped to take on a wide range of tasks efficiently, saving time and with little strain on the operator. The transmission is operated via a worm gear in an oil bath, thus ensuring a long service life.

The wheel drive with forward and reverse gear (2.2/1.1km/h) ensures consistent work and fast, effortless passage through any terrain, increases safety when operating the machine and makes the machine extremely manoeuverable. 
The basis for the precise and fatigue-free machine control of the mighty powerhouse is already laid in the design: the short single-axle machine with extra-large wheels with foam filling and a coarse-tread farmer's profile ensures perfect traction. You can also get through slopes of up to approx. 20°, with tall grass and wild growth, efficiently and effortlessly.

Almost limitless in its use – four devices in one: you can easily convert the basic device from one application to another with its quick-fit attachment system in no time at all.
