BCS Laser® Scythe Cutter Bar

Precision Cutting, Naturally Efficient: The BCS Laser® Scythe Cutter Bar

The BCS Laser® Scythe Cutter Bar is designed for people who want clean, fast, and effortless cutting across everything from tall wild grasses to dense brambles. Built on the trusted engineering of the BCS system, this beautifully simple yet highly capable cutter bar offers a smarter way to maintain meadows, orchards, paddocks, verges, conservation areas, and large gardens. With a choice of five working widths and the ability to select either a short or long oil transmission (as shown in the dropdown compatibility list), it’s a versatile tool that adapts easily to your BCS power unit and your landscape.

Clean, Controlled Cutting for All Vegetation Types

At the heart of the Laser® design is a pair of precision blades working in harmony. The lower blade stays fixed, while the upper blade glides side to side, its row of serrated triangular teeth delivering a crisp, scissor-like action. This cutting method allows the scythe to slice vegetation cleanly at the base—leaving the material whole and easy to gather or leave in place.

Thanks to its anti-clog serrated blades, the scythe can cut through surprisingly tough growth, including:

• Woody material up to 1″ thick
• First-year saplings
• Brambles and scrub
• Tall grass and hay crops
• Bracken, nettles, reeds, wildflowers, and more

This makes it equally effective for agricultural users, landowners restoring wildlife areas, and anyone maintaining tall or overgrown vegetation.

Deep Reach for Difficult Areas

Because the cutter bar sits right at the front of the machine, it reaches places that rotary mowers simply can’t access. That includes:

• Beneath low fences
• Around the base of trees and posts
• Along ditch edges or water margins
• Under solar panels or orchard branches
• Tight corners and awkward obstacles

This forward reach makes the Laser® cutter bar one of the most precise and adaptable cutting tools available for BCS machines.

Choose Your Width – Built for Every Landscape

The Laser® Scythe Cutter Bar is available in 80 cm, 100 cm, 115 cm, 135 cm, and 155 cm widths. Whether you’re mowing small paddocks or managing large acreage, there’s a size designed for your workload.

All versions share the same cutting performance and refined finish—you simply choose the width that suits your terrain, tractor model, and cutting preference. Because each cutter bar width pairs differently with each BCS power unit, you must first select the width that suits your requirements and machine, and then choose the appropriate oil transmission (short or long) from the dropdown to match that combination.

Simple, Adjustable Cutting Height

Cutting height can be adjusted quickly and easily using the skids on either side of the bar. You can set it anywhere from ¾” (2 cm) for a close, neat cut up to 3¼” (8 cm) for rougher ground or more delicate habitat areas. This flexibility is ideal for haymaking, maintaining wildlife meadows, or cutting over uneven soil.

Smooth Operation and Low Fuel Use

One of the standout benefits of the Laser® scythe is how economical it is to run. The BCS power unit only needs to operate at around one-quarter throttle, keeping fuel consumption low while still delivering excellent cutting power. This also reduces engine noise and vibration, making long mowing sessions more comfortable and efficient.

Smart, Practical, and Built to Last

Every detail of the Laser® Scythe Cutter Bar is designed with practicality in mind—from its robust build and simple maintenance to its ability to handle dense material cleanly without clogging. Whether you’re cutting hay, managing wildlife areas, or taming overgrowth, it offers a natural, consistent cut that rotary mowers cannot match.

Effortless Cutting, Exceptional Versatility

With its fine scissor-like action, efficient power use, and wide range of working widths, the BCS Laser® Scythe Cutter Bar is one of the most effective and environmentally considerate mowing tools available. Choose the width that suits your land, match it with the correct oil transmission, and enjoy smooth, quiet, precise cutting across even the toughest vegetation.

Q) Which width should I choose?

The cutter bar is available in 80 cm, 100 cm, 115 cm, 135 cm, and 155 cm widths. Smaller widths are ideal for tighter spaces or uneven terrain, while larger widths suit open meadows and bigger mowing areas. All width compatibility details for each BCS power unit are listed in the dropdown, so you can choose the correct size and matching transmission easily.

Q) Do I need a short or long oil transmission?

Yes. Each width and machine pairing requires either a short or long oil transmission for correct operation. The correct option is shown in the drop-down compatibility list on the product page. Choosing the right transmission ensures smooth running and protects the cutter bar.

Q) What cutting height range does the scythe offer?

Cutting height can be adjusted from ¾” (2 cm) up to 3¼” (8 cm) using the side skids. This makes it easy to adapt the mower for close, neat cuts or for managing rougher ground and wildlife areas.
