BCS 622 PowerSafe® Reaper Binder
The BCS Reaper Binder not only cuts but collects and binds, leaving reeds, lavender and other material in neat bundles for easy collection.
Featuring large wheels for use in wet or uneven ground, this classic harvesting machine has been updated with modern clutches and drive components to make this an operator friendly and highly effective machine.
Description
The BCS Reaper Binder is ideal for growers wanting to take control of their harvesting and reduce harvesting time. It will cut, bundle, and tie crops in a single pass. Suitable for many different types of crops, including grains, sesame, lavender, herbs, and more, this harvester is directly descended from the very first BCS machines that were originally built over 80 years ago!
The 140cm wide cutter bar cuts material 7cm from the ground. The continuous and constant movement of the forks positioned above the cutter bar then allows the cut crop to be bundled towards the binding mechanism which ties the cut material approximately either 19cm or 28cm above the cut (dependent on the model).
