Video: working with the Bowell BCX flail mower
The Bowel
l BCX flail mower series is equipped with a very powerful double sided transmission made by the famous italian factory Bandioli Pavesi making them the perfect choice for large tractors as front or rear mower. With available working widths of up to 260cm and a hydraulic side-shift function of up to 500mm, Bowell`s professional BCX mowers can be used almost anywhere. In combination with the right tractor BCX-mowers are superior to almost any vegetation and can still offer the highest work efficiency.
The conveniant 500mm hydraulic side-shift system saves manoeuvring in narrow corners. This function requires a double acting hydraulic control circuit on your tractor.
Bowell is using 24 to 26 large high performance forged flail hammers (depending on working width) - each with a weight of 1400gr - that ensure a perfect mowing result on grass, undergrowth and bushes up to 30mm diameter. The new counter knifes inside the mower help to even increase the performance to allow mulching even high grass. The mowing height is adjusted by the heavy self cleaning rear roller, to prevent the mower from cutting into the ground on bumpy surface.
The large Comer free-wheel transmission lets the rotor shaft turn, once the PTO is switched off, so that its movement will not be transferred to the tractor. The mower´s front is equipped with safety flaps to prevent debris and stones being thrown out of the machine.
Front and rear mount for 1000 rpm PTO shafts

The Bowell BCX flail mower uses the Bowell Power Efficiency Technology. Your tractor needs to support 1000rpm PTO speed to acchieve a mowing performance with higher efficiency and less fuel consumption. Save fuel with the new Bowell Power Efficiency technology at no extra cost and from the first meter. The double sided Bondioli Pavesi transmission offers the possibility to use the mower on the front or rear of a tractor if it has a front PTO shaft installed. The Bowell BCX mowers are equipped with a double 3-point hitch for Cat II and Cat III tractors, making it extremely easy to change between a front or rear mount mowing system.
Bowell 5-belt drive system
The new Bowell 5-belt drive system with 17mm wide drive belts and reinforced pulleysguaratees an almost 100% power transfer rate with virtually 0% belt slippage even for these large mowers. The new Bowell belt cover lets you check the correct belt tension within seconds without having to remove the belt cover. This makes service and maintenance a lot easier than before.
All BCX-mowers have easily accessible stainless steel. grease nipples for easy service and height adjustable skids and support leg for storage. The short and easy service plan in the user manual helps you on maintenance and service.The completely assembled ready to use machine is delivered in the massive Bowell steel crates.
SKF ball bearing and Performance rotor shaft
The BCX mowers come with large SKF rotor shaft ball-bearings sitting in massive CNC-made bearing seats. This is important, because the heavy and extra wide rotor shaft is turning with 2350rpm and cuts the material down to a minimum, so that it can rot away fast. The rotor shaft is specially designed. The flail hammers are mounted in a spiral, so despite the wide working width never more than two flails are actually cutting at the same time. This significantly reduces the needed mowing power.
Double walled housing
For wide and heavy fail mowers, using very high RPM on the rotor shaft, a torsion-resistant and low vibration housing is the precondition for a reliable machine. Next to massive side walls, which are 10mm thick on the Bowell BCX series, best results are achieved when using double walled housings. The Bowell BCX-mower comes with a partially reinforced inner housing with solid 4mm plates. Both housings are welded and bolted together. This leads to a very smooth operation of this professional implement.

How does the BCX mulcher position itself behind your tractor ?
The reference point is always the centre of your tractor, i.e. where the PTO output is.
Let us assume that your tractor is 120 cm wide from its centre to the right rear outer edge of the tyre (i.e. 240 cm total width), then the mulcher should extend more than this 120 cm to the right from the centre of the tractor. This allows the mulcher to mow to the right of the right rear wheel. This would allow you to keep some distance to e.g. a fence, bush, tree or shed with the tractor and still mow flush.
The three-point linkage can be moved hydraulically on this model. The above values A1, B1 etc. and A2, B2 etc. for the BCX models result at the respective shifting end points.
If, in the example chosen here, the flail mower is to extend more than 120 cm from the centre of the tractor to the right, all BCX models would be able to do this (50 cm, 70 cm, 100 cm), but you will need to use the hydraulic side shift to do this. The BCX flail mulcher is a front/rear mulcher, so it can also be used at the front of the tractor, provided there is a PTO output and three-point linkage there. As a rule, tractors are narrower at the front axle than at the rear axle, so that significantly different values can then result.
