AL-KO BM 5001 R IV Petrol Scythe MowerAL-KO BM 5001 R IV Petrol Scythe Mower

The AL-KO BM 5001 R IV scythe mower: the agile professional machine for nature gardens and meadows 

The AL-KO BM 5001 R IV Petrol Scythe Mower is a robust, high-performance garden tool designed to effortlessly tackle tough, overgrown areas. Whether you're managing dense vegetation, tall grass, or uneven terrain, this mower offers exceptional power and efficiency. 

Powered by a reliable 163cc petrol engine, it delivers impressive performance for clearing large areas of land, including thick underbrush and hard-to-reach patches. The mower is equipped with a 50 cm cutting width, allowing for quick and efficient mowing, making it the ideal solution for medium-sized gardens or large, overgrown sections of land that require regular maintenance. 

The steel blade is specifically designed to handle even the toughest brush and thick grass, providing a precise, consistent cut every time. Additionally, the mower features a 4-speed forward gearbox and 2 reverse gears, offering excellent speed control for optimal manoeuvrability in varying conditions. This flexibility ensures you can adjust the mower's pace to suit different types of terrain, making it versatile enough for any gardening or land management task.

The AL-KO BM 5001 R IV is designed with user comfort and ease of use in mind. The cutting height is fully adjustable, allowing you to customise the mower’s performance to suit your needs, whether you're working on flat ground or tackling more difficult, sloped surfaces. 

The ergonomic handle design reduces strain and fatigue, providing added comfort during prolonged use. The large, durable wheels ensure maximum traction, making it easy to manoeuvre across rough, uneven ground while maintaining excellent stability. Despite its robust design, the mower weighs just 51kg, making it lightweight enough to transport and manoeuvre without sacrificing durability or strength. 

This balance of power, versatility, and ease of use ensures that the BM 5001 R IV is the ideal tool for clearing overgrown grass, brambles, and other tough vegetation. Built to withstand challenging conditions, it offers long-lasting performance, making it a reliable choice for homeowners and landowners who require a powerful, efficient, and easy-to-operate scythe mower to maintain their gardens and properties. 

Whether you're dealing with wild grass, dense underbrush, or uneven terrain, the AL-KO BM 5001 R IV Petrol Scythe Mower is the perfect solution to keep your outdoor space in top condition.

Suitable for areas up to 2,500 m².

Manufacturer's 2 year domestic (90 day commercial) warranty.

Under Control
Height-adjustable and with vibration damping, the ergonomically shaped handlebar ensures optimum handling on rough ground as well as easy transport.

Perfect Grass Depositing
The movable grass deflector means that no grass is left lying on the cover, while grass depositing is improved because of the shorter distance between the wheel and the beam.

Robust in the Details
As well as the specially hardened ESM blades with infinitely height-adjustable outsoles, AL -KO scythe mowers are particularly characterised by their enclosed drive system. This is less prone to contamination, thus allowing longer operating times.

Ready for Winter Operation
Thanks to supplementary accessories like snowplough and snow chains, the scythe mowers can also be used effectively in the winter season.

Giving Nature Its Space
In meadows or ecological natural gardens, it is particularly important only to use machines that are up to the job – such as AL-KO scythe mowers that can cut forage grass just as well as thick, matted weeds.

As well as the specially hardened ESM blades with infinitely height-adjustable outsoles,solo by AL-KO scythe mowers are characterised by their enclosed drive system. This is less prone to contamination, thus allowing longer operating times.
