Bowell BCXpro Professional Front/Rear Flail Mower for 90-200 HP Tractor with hydraulic side shift system

Front and rear mount for 1000 rpm PTO shafts

The double-sided Comer angular gearbox also enables operation at the front of the vehicle with appropriately equipped tractors. The Comer transmission is operated at a PTO shaft speed of 1000 rpm. The Bowell BCXpro mulchers are already equipped with a double three-point linkage, so that a quick change between front and rear mounting is possible at any time.


Bowell BCXpro flail mowers are factory fitted with Bowell Power Efficiency technology. Your tractor must have a front and rear PTO speed of 1000 rpm for this and can therefore work more efficiently with lower fuel consumption. Bowell Power Efficiency technology saves fuel from the very first metre, at no extra cost.  
 

Flail mower with Bowell 5-speed belt drive

The new Bowell 5-fold belt drive with 17 mm wide drive belts and correspondingly reinforced belt pulleys guarantees almost 100% power transmission even with these large working widths and despite the high shaft and flail weight, with a barely measurable loss of power and minimal wear. The new belt cover allows the belt tension to be checked in seconds without having to remove the cover.

BCXpro mowers are equipped with stainless steel grease nipples at the relevant points and have a parking support in addition to the skids. The service schedule in the German instruction manual takes the guesswork out of maintaining and caring for your Bowell mower. Like all Bowell mowers, the Bowell BCXpro series is equipped with an electronically fine-balanced flail shaft, which is driven by 5 wide V-belts. The heavy freewheel gearbox runs in an oil bath, so the gearbox oil must be filled before commissioning.
 

SKF ball bearings

The BCXpro flail mowers are equipped with large SKF rotor shaft ball bearings, which are anchored in solid CNC-machined bearing seats. This is also necessary because the heavy laser-balanced rotor shaft rotates at 2350 rpm and thus shreds the clippings to a minimum so that they can decompose quickly. The PowerCut® rotor shaft is specially optimised. The flails are arranged in a spiral so that no more than three flails cut the grass at the same time, despite the large working width and number of flails. This reduces the effort required considerably.

Variable rear roller position

Depending on the material to be chopped, the technical requirements of the mulcher can vary. The Bowell BCXpro mulcher therefore has a trailing roller that can be mounted in two different positions. If the material is placed in front of the roller and then driven over by it, it is compressed, which is irrelevant if it is subsequently worked in with a roundabout harrow or rotary tiller. However, if the material is placed behind the roller - i.e. not compressed - it rots faster and more light and air reaches the meadow below. On uneven surfaces, a small distance between the trailing roller and the rotor shaft can be advantageous for ground levelling. The chopped material is then deposited behind the support roller. However, with dry chopped material such as maize straw, this can lead to a lot of churning, which can impair the cooling performance of the tractor engine when mounted at the front. The Bowell BCXpro mulcher offers the option of moving the rear roller or support roller 20 cm further to the rear. This allows the chopped material to be deposited in front of the roller. By changing the position of the support roller, the BCXpro flail mower can adapt perfectly to different conditions. There are three positions for the support roller to adjust the mowing height.

 

Double walled housing

For wide and heavy flail mowers that also operate at high rotor shaft speeds, a torsion-resistant and low-vibration housing is a basic requirement for the reliability of the machine. In addition to solid side walls, which are 10 mm thick on the BCXpro mulcher, the best results are achieved when the rest of the mulcher housing is double-walled. The Bowell BCXpro mulcher has a 5 mm thick outer housing and a reinforced inner housing with a material thickness of 4 mm, which covers more than 90% of the surface area. Both housing surfaces are welded and bolted together. This enables very quiet operation of this professional attachment.
