Lightweight yet robust and reliable, the Bcs Duplex mower series is designed for those working in mountainous and hilly areas or, on the plains, over small surfaces. Among its advantages is the ability to be used even with compact, low-powered tractors
Specialized equipment designed for specialized applications — this, in short, is the best way to describe the Bcs Duplex mower series, a flagship line from the Abbiategrasso-based manufacturer.
Conceptually derived from the first mowing bar developed by the company back in 1943, these machines have been continuously updated in design and construction materials, remaining to this day the only type capable of ensuring fast, precise, and safe mowing in mountainous or hilly areas where the use of disc mowers would be difficult or even impossible.
In such conditions, the rear-mounted “Duplex” double-reciprocating mowers prove unbeatable in terms of efficiency — a quality ensured not only by their lightweight yet sturdy structures but also by engineering solutions aimed at maximizing integration between the implement and the tractor. The frames are designed to minimize the mower bar’s overhang while still allowing operation on slopes of up to 55 degrees relative to the tractor’s plane.
Another advantage lies in the simplicity of their mechanical design, which makes these machines significantly lighter than disc mowers of comparable working widths, while also ensuring low power absorption. As a result, they can be used with compact, low-power tractors — as little as 40 horsepower — without encountering functional or reliability issues and without compromising cutting quality.
The operating principle, based on two rows of teeth moving reciprocally like a pair of scissors, guarantees clean and precise cuts, completely free of tearing or fraying. This results in clean forage — aided by adjustable cutting height — that maintains its nutritional quality even after extended drying times. The system is also gentle on the crop, promoting regrowth. Unlike disc mowers, the Duplex models are clog-free thanks to anti-blockage teeth and feature self-adjusting elastic hold-downs that maintain optimal cutting conditions over time, eliminating the need for manual adjustment.
Ground pressure adjustment for the bar is spring-based, and in the event of impact with stones or obstacles, the entire blade can be easily replaced thanks to a lifting mechanism integrated into the hold-downs. A hydraulic tilting system with a safety lock also ensures easy transport. Designed for long-term, fault-free operation, the teeth are available in two versions: “Gold” and “St.” The latter features a triple-section design, making it particularly suitable for working in fields contaminated with stones.
All Bcs Mowers
Since its inception, Bcs has focused on addressing the cutting challenges typical of the forage sector. In addition to the “Duplex” reciprocating mowers, the Bcs Group also offers an extensive range of mounted disc mowers, which can be fitted either at the rear or the front of the tractor.
The rear-mounted models belong to the “Rotex” series, with working widths ranging from 165 to 285 centimeters and available with optional polyurethane chevron roller conditioners.
Complementing the Rotex line is the “Dynamics R8” model, offering over three meters of working width and featuring the innovative “ZeroGravity” system, which, combined with traditional weight-reduction mechanisms, provides an anti-shock effect that protects the mower bar from impacts.
Front-mounted mowers fall under the “Avant Nt” series, with maximum working widths of up to 285 centimeters and the option of integration with a chevron conditioner. The lighter “Edelweiss” versions of the “Avant” series are specifically designed for mountain applications, while the “Avant Neva” mower-conditioners form a class of their own.
With working widths of up to 325 centimeters, these machines feature an exclusive “MultiFloat Frame” parallelogram design that provides dynamic weight compensation, optimizing ground pressure and cutting performance on all types of terrain and at any speed.
