The powerful Al-Ko BM 870-III has been developed to clear the sort of heavily overgrown areas that would prove too much for a handheld brushcutter or conventional walk-behind mower to handle. Driving its wheels & scythe-bar blades is a high-output 3.7hp (148cc) Briggs & Stratton 450-Series engine that employs the American manufacturer’s advanced overhead-valve technology that works to reduce noise; fuel-consumption; emissions; & vibration. An oil-foam air-filter helps to lessen wear on key parts; while a fuel-purge primer facilitates hassle-free starting. The Al-Ko BM 870-III Scythe-Bar Mower is a single-speed self-propelled machine that will get you across challenging terrain with minimal effort expended. It’s equipped with an adjustable grass-deflector that ensures no debris is left on the mown area; & it’s fitted with an ergonomically shaped handlebar that makes it easy to keep under control on rough ground (vibration-damping allows for long periods of fatigue-free operation). Supplementary accessories are available, including snow chains & a snowplough.
