Billy Goat BC2600 Series of Outback brushcutters The Billy Goat BC2600 Series of Outback brushcutters consists of 3 models that make quick work of under-brush, berries, bramble, vines, tall grass and small trees up to 2 inches wide and 6 feet tall — all at a rate of just an acre of brush per hour. The 26-inch mechanical-drive fixed-deck model is ideal for clearing meadows or fields. Its rigid deck provides excellent stability in deep vegetation, and its angled rear-discharge deck eliminates packing and windrows. The 26-inch hydro-drive model, which features an articulating deck and Enhanced Trac- tion Control (ETC), is ideal for clearing brush on rough and hilly terrain. The BC2600HHEU, also a 26-inch hydro- drive model with an articulating deck and ETC, comes with lockable front caster wheels for ease of mobility on rough terrain. The hydro models handle hills up to a 20-degree slope even in wet or uneven conditions. The control package allows the user to feather in forward and reverse directly form the handles — no shifting is required. The pivoting deck with pro- prietary return to neutral is engineered to glide over uneven terrain and deep brush seamlessly. All 3 brushcut- ters come with a heavy-duty blade spindle, reinforced in 4 directions for maximum durability and safety.
