The Better 175 in agriculture

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR HAYMAKING IN HILLY AND MOUNTAINOUS AREAS

Originally developed in the 1990s, the Better was designed to meet the specific needs of haymaking in hilly and mountainous areas, with a strong focus on grass mowing operations. Its development was driven by the goal of combining power, stability, and maneuverability to ensure optimal performance on slopes and uneven ground.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING BETTER?

1- Excellent visibility with front-mounted mowing in reversible drive; Mowing with the front-mounted implement in reversible drive mode offers outstanding visibility, making your work easier, safer, and more precise.

2- Maximum safety on slopes

Thanks to its low center of gravity, the machine operates safely and confidently even on hilly and mountainous terrain.

3- Agile and stress-free in tight spaces

Four-wheel steering ensures exceptional maneuverability in confined areas. You can work quickly and safely without putting strain on the operator.

4- Crab steering for enhanced safety on difficult terrain

The ability to lock one of the steering axles as needed allows the machine to move in a crab-like motion—especially useful when working near embankments. This function shifts the wheels away from uneven or potentially hazardous ground, ensuring greater stability and operator safety

5- Reversible drive in just 5 seconds

The swivel base with reversible drive lets you operate efficiently in both directions. Switch between road and work mode in just five seconds—simply turn the lever.

6- The hydrostatic transmission controls forward movement via a 2-speed mechanical gearbox. This enables the forward speed to be adjusted in all conditions using a proportional joystick. This means you can set the perfect implement speed by adjusting engine RPM and adapt travel speed to ground conditions or according to the workload—all while steering with one hand and managing hydraulic functions with the other.

7- Exceptional power-to-weight ratio

The steel chassis provides maximum strength with minimal weight significantly lighter than cast iron. With a power-to-weight ratio of 4,600 kg to 170 HP, BM Tractors delivers the ideal balance for demanding jobs. This is especially important when using high-power implements while minimizing ground impact. That’s why the Better 175 is also a top choice in flat areas, where soil compaction is a concern particularly in wet conditions that make fields hard to access.

The Better 175 is equipped with all the features needed to handle a wide range of agricultural applications
