The hydrostatic drive of BCS 780HY offers the user the ability to control their ground speed precisely without the need to engage the clutch. This has several benefits for the operator, particularly when digging or cutting grass. Cultivating often requires a slow ground speed to enable to digging knives time to cut into the ground. The variable speed allows you to choose the best speed for the ground conditions in this case. When grass cutting, you are often travelling at different speeds depending on the density of vegetation and often you will be going into forward and reverse in tight spaces. The hydrostatic control in this application allows you to change speed and direction without engaging the clutch which means that the cutting head never slows down. For flail mowers and rough cut mowers this is a real benefit.
