AL-KO BM 5001-R IV Petrol Scythe Mower

Clear Dense Growth with Confidence: The AL-KO BM 5001-R IV Petrol Scythe Mower

When heavy vegetation or uneven terrain get the better of your regular mower, it’s time to call in a specialist. The AL-KO BM 5001-R IV Petrol Scythe Mower is engineered to manage wild growth where standard machines fall short. From thick meadows to orchard undergrowth, this professional-grade AL-KO scythe offers dependable performance, precise handling, and lasting durability for all-season land care.

Expertly Designed for Demanding Landscapes

Maintaining natural spaces requires finesse as well as power, and that’s exactly what the AL-KO BM 5001-R IV delivers. With a generous 40-inch (102cm) cutting width, this scythe mower is built to manage large areas quickly and cleanly. It thrives in settings like paddocks and rough fields, where powerful cutting and consistent results are essential. The separately controlled mowing drive ensures safe operation, allowing you to stop the blade movement when repositioning or manoeuvring the machine.

Confident Handling on Slopes and Soft Ground

Sloped or uneven terrain can pose serious challenges to conventional mowers, but not to this one. The short wheelbase and wide track design offer enhanced stability across hillsides or on rugged areas of land. Foam-filled 13-inch tyres with a deep, farmer-style tread deliver impressive traction while being gentle on soft ground. The robust Loncin 139cc OHV engine powers both the wheels and the cutter bar, giving you control and cutting strength wherever it’s needed. You can move forwards or in reverse with ease, and choose when to engage either drive.

Built for Greater User Comfort

Extended mowing sessions demand operator comfort, especially on rough or angled surfaces. That’s why this AL-KO scythe mower features an ergonomic handlebar that adjusts to suit your height. Integrated vibration damping makes operation smoother and easier on your hands and arms, keeping fatigue to a minimum on longer jobs. The result is a more comfortable, controlled mowing experience, even when you’re tackling stubborn overgrowth. You can adjust the cutting height from 15mm to 50mm, depending on the terrain and desired finish.

Clever Features That Streamline Your Work

When cutting tall, dense grass, effective clearance is just as important as sharp blades. A movable grass deflector ensures the clippings are thrown cleanly and kept clear of the cover, making every pass more efficient. A high-quality ESM blade—manufactured in Germany—delivers the performance and resilience needed for challenging vegetation. It’s a mower that’s as much about thoughtful design as it is raw cutting power.

Built to Last, Backed by Warranty

The AL-KO BM 5001-R IV is housed in a strong steel body and weighs just 58kg, striking a practical balance between durability and manoeuvrability. It’s supplied with a two-year domestic warranty that can be extended to five years if serviced regularly, giving you long-term peace of mind. Commercial operators can rely on 90-day cover, making this a smart investment for smallholders, landscapers, and estate managers alike.
