OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT w w w. o u t d o o r p o w e re q u i p m e n t . c o m 30 EquipmEnt Focus | Hedge trimmers & Brushcutters Billy Goat's Bc2600Hm and Bc2600icm outback fixed-deck brushcutters Billy Goat's new BC2600HM and BC2600ICM mechanical-drive, fixed-deck models supersede the prior BC2403 series of Outback brushcutters. The new BC2600 series represents the same great Outback but with next-generation features, ergonomics and productivity. The 2600 series features a wider, 26-inch deck for increased productivity; higher tip speed for better cut quality; a rubberized rear deck trim for added stump clearance in reverse; heavier spindle assembly; improved shifting at the control panel for operator comfort; a shifting linkage for longer cable life; thicker and wider ergonomic handles; and a low engine oil alarm for improved reliability. The new Outback is ideal for meadow mowing and complements the articulating-deck, hydraulic-drive units with Enhanced Traction Control (ETC) introduced in 2012 that is positioned for more severe terrain and hilly applications (BC2600HH/BC2600HEBH). Both series are designed to cut brush as high as 6 feet and saplings up to 2 inches in diameter. They are also designed to take the abuse of hitting all of those hidden items such as rocks, stumps, fence posts and tires. The heavy-duty blade spindle is reinforced in 4 directions and connects via a heavy-duty belt to protect the engine, so the operator can keep cutting in the harshest environment. The BC2600 fixed-deck models are powered by either a 344-cc Briggs (BC2600ICM) or 388-cc Honda engine (BC2600HM).
