The Bcs “Ws” series mowers, impossibile in dna

The BCS “WS” series mowers sit at the top of a range that spans nine different models. These machines are super-professional, designed for continuous operation in challenging terrains that cannot be handled by mounted or trailed equipment. First designed in 1943 and launched shortly thereafter, Bcs single-axle mowers revolutionized the forage sector, effectively starting its mechanization. Over time, these machines were joined by more powerful equipment operating with tractor-driven systems, which, however, are only suited for large, flat, or gently sloping forage fields where tractors and large harvesters can operate…
