Becx Machines is the Netherlands-based manufacturer of high-end mechanical hedge cutting equipment for tool carriers and excavators.
Established in 2008, the company is located in Moergestel, North Brabant, and are represented in the UK by Fentons of Bourne in Lincolnshire.
Becx has a range of seven different hedge trimming attachments with a working widths between 75 cm and 240 cm. In order to optimally operate these cutting heads, they have also developed their own mowing arms, which connect the cutting head to the tool carrier.
The latest addition to the range is the MA270 with a reach of 270 cm, but more importantly, it can be used both left and right of the carrier vehicle as the arm is hydraulically rotatable through 180 degrees This enables the machine to operate in tight spaces, especially relevant when the hedge has corners. The standard version of the implement coupling, where the arm meets the cutting head, can be turned manually, but it can also be fitted with a hydraulic swivel unit. A ‘fixed’ head can also be chosen, which makes pruning the back of the hedge more accessible.
The MA270 provides the operator with freedom of movement, regardless of the model. The machine has also been built to be as compact and light as possible without making concessions to quality. The frame is made from high grade steel, while the connecting pins are manufactured using chrome steel, for extra durability. With a reach of 2.7 metres, the design of this machine makes it possible to work stably at maximum height, as well as closer to the machine.
Fentons director, Glen Bellamy said: “The Becx design engineers are highly innovative and the MA270 is a testament to the quality equipment they continue to produce. For hedge cutting solutions they are the best.”
