It might be slightly more compact than its counterpart the BM5001R, but this model is no less capable when it comes to taking-on tall nettles, dense bramble, high grass & entrenched weeds. Its high-powered 190cc Briggs & Stratton 625-Series four-stroke engine develops a substantial 6.25ft.-lbs of torque, so even the thickest growth can be cut-down with ease. A pleated-paper automotive-type air-filter keeps wear on key parts to a minimum for a longer engine-life; while B & S's Prime 'N Pull™ technology ensures fuel is delivered to the carburettor in precisely the right quantity for consistent first-pull starts with no flooding. The Al-Ko BM875II Scythe Mower employs a narrower 87cm blade, which makes it absolutely ideal for those needing to access awkward nooks & crannies. The blade itself is made from specially hardened EMS & has been fitted with edge-protection, so you can confident you won't damage it when operating flush against walls & kerbs; & it can be height-adjusted to suit the particular task in h&. Other noteworthy features include a single-speed power-drive for almost effort-free operation; & a height-adjustable handlebar that means that you can achieve the most comfortable working-position.
