BCRI-180 Heavy Duty 3 Point Offset Ditch Bank Flail Mower

Tackle embankments, ditches, and roadside mowing with the BCRI-180 Ditch Mower, designed for 50–80 HP tractors. With a 70″ cutting width, 60″ hydraulic side-shift, and a -60° to +90° angle range, it reaches up to 118″ from the tractor center and 75″ vertically for hedge and bank trimming.

Built with 1300 g forged hammer flails, a Comer gearbox, and an electronically balanced 2150 RPM rotor on SKF bearings, the BCRI-180 shreds grass, brush, and branches up to 2″. A 7.6″ rear roller maintains a smooth finish with 0.75″–2.95″ height adjustment, while the crash-protection system, safety valves, and front safety flaps help protect both tractor and operator.

The BCRI-180 Heavy Duty Ditch Mower is built for 50–80 HP tractors with CAT II three-point hitch. It offers a 70″ cutting width, 60″ hydraulic side-shift, and a full -60° to +90° mowing range, making it ideal for ditch banks, hedgerows, pond edges, and demanding roadside applications. The mower can extend up to 118″ horizontally and 75″ vertically from the tractor’s center, providing serious reach for medium and larger tractors.

The BCRI-180 uses 1300 g forged hammer flails mounted on a 2150 RPM electronically balanced rotor powered by a 4-belt drive system with SKF ball bearings and CNC-machined bearing seats. This setup, combined with the Comer gearbox, delivers strong mulching performance and virtually zero belt slippage—even in heavy brush up to 2″ in diameter. A heavy 7.6″-diameter self-cleaning rear roller maintains a consistent cut and allows 0.75″–2.95″ height adjustment over rough terrain.

Safety is built-in with a mechanical crash-protection system that lets the mower swing back if it hits a solid obstacle, along with dual safety valves that help prevent the mower from dropping too quickly during lowering. Integrated transport lock pins keep the unit secure while in transit. The replaceable counter knife and front safety flaps improve chopping efficiency while helping contain debris.

Packaged in a solid wooden crate, the BCRI-180 is shipped partially assembled. Once connected to two double-acting hydraulic circuits, it can deliver ~1.4–3.5 acres/hour productivity, making it one of the most capable heavy-duty verge and ditch mowers in its class.
