When you've got wild ground to reclaim and you want a proper finish while you're at it, this is the Outback to reach for. The Billy Goat BC2600ICH makes quick work of under-brush, berries, saplings, lantana, vines, tall grass and small trees, chewing through saplings up to 2" (5cm) thick and brush up to 6' (180cm) tall at a rate of just under an acre an hour. A 26" (66cm) deck with higher blade tip speed means it doesn't just knock the growth down, it cuts it cleaner and faster than you'd expect from a machine tackling this kind of mess.

What sets it apart is how it handles the ground. It comes standard with a Tuff Torq hydrostatic transmission, so there's no gear-shifting, just smooth, stepless speed control, backed by fully automatic Enhanced Traction Control for sure footing in wet or uneven conditions. The pivoting deck is the clever bit: it floats and hugs the contours of the ground for a better cut with less scalping, while keeping the machine's weight over the drive wheels for extra grip (the Briggs & Stratton version handles slopes up to 15 degrees). Add a heavy-duty blade spindle, wider tractor tyres, rubberised rear deck trim and padded-grip controls, and you've got a 344cc Briggs & Stratton Intek-powered machine built to tame the wild and leave a tidy finish behind it.
