Billy Goat SC181HEU Hydrostatic Turf Cutter / 163cc Honda Engine

Offering class-leading durability, this top-end sod-cutter from US engineering-giants Billy Goat will appeal to commercial landscapers and professional field-archaeologists looking for an always-ready machine that will take the rigours of intensive, every-day use in its stride!

That rock-solid durability is thanks to a multitude of factors, including a rugged cast-iron gearbox with sealed bearings and a one-inch lateral stability-bar; a 3/8 inch steel substructure with 1/2 inch steel reinforcement; and a heavy-duty transmission with a 1.25inch plated tapered axle and an armour-plated chain.

The Billy Goat SC181HEU features a hydrostatic drive; a premium attribute that provides infinitely-variable ground-speed control in both forward and reverse gears, thereby maximising manoeuvrability and ensuring precision results (adjustment is via a convenient handlebar-mounted lever).

It boasts multiple oversized isolation-mounts that cut vibration-transfer for long hours of low-fatigue operation; and it’s fitted with a rear castor-wheel that means you’ll have no trouble following curving lines (the wheel can be locked for straight-line work).

Delivering a punch-packing 4.3hp is a 163cc Honda GXV160 four-stroke air-cooled engine with the world-famous Japanese manufacturer’s efficiency-optimising and noise-reducing OHV technology; and their automatic decompression system that drastically lessens the pulling-power needed to fire it up.

A cast-iron cylinder lining and dual-element air-filter mean you can be sure of excellent long-term reliability; while a bearing-supported crankshaft works to minimise vibration and component-wear.
The Billy Goat SC181HEU Hydrostatic Sod-Cutter features Billy’s Set and Forget blade-adjustment system, whereby a single lever placed directly to makes it quick and easy to select your preferred blade-setting.

An hour-metre makes it simple to keep track of service-requirements; while a series of six tie-down points facilitates safe and secure trailer-transport.
Also important is the vented housing that cools the transmission for a longer working-life; and the unique drive-wheels which have been specially designed to shed mud for high-grip traction in adverse conditions.
