Loader-equipped verge cutter — BSL30P / BSL30F family
Hemos has been manufacturing loader-equipped verge cutters for over 50 years. The BSL30 verge cutter is mounted on a tractor chosen by the user and can be fully configured to their requirements. Verge maintenance is carried out quickly and efficiently: in a single pass the verge is cut and the collected material is carried away directly by a belt conveyor. Removing excess material from the verge allows rainwater to drain from the road surface more effectively — this prevents water from standing along the road and contributes to proper verge maintenance and road safety. It is not a verge grader or a verge mower, but a loader-equipped cutter. Moreover, BSL30 is a family rather than a single machine: the BSL30P works with a planing blade (minimum working width 0.4 m), while the BSL30F uses hydraulically driven milling discs (0.8 m, requires an additional 150 l/min pump).
BSL30 — how it is built
The verge cutter is mounted on a tractor selected by the user and is available in various versions. Depending on the application, the machine can be equipped with various options and attachments. The robust construction includes wear-resistant components made of Hardox steel and a discharge wheel with tungsten carbide knives, designed for intensive use and long service life.
One pass, clean verge profile
The BSL30 is designed for efficient verge maintenance. In a single pass the verge is cut and loosened, and the released material is removed directly. This leaves a clean and even verge profile without the need for additional passes. With the optional sweeping brush, the road surface is cleaned immediately.

Solution for the application
Depending on soil conditions and the work to be done, the verge cutter can be equipped with a planing blade (BSL30P) or hydraulically driven milling discs (BSL30F). Both systems remove excess material from the verge, but differ in how they loosen the ground. To discharge the material, the machine can additionally be equipped with an additional belt conveyor, which allows the material to be loaded directly or spread along the verge.

Fixed or hydraulic front frame
Several versions are available for positioning the belt conveyor. Depending on the required application, you can choose a fixed or hydraulically adjustable front frame. As standard, the verge cutter is equipped with a deflector flap, which regulates the throwing distance of the material.

Planing blade or milling discs?
The planing blade cuts the verge layer and directs the removed material towards the discharge wheel. This version (BSL30P) works best on compact soils, where a full layer of turf can be cut and removed. Horizontally rotating milling discs (BSL30F) loosen the verge material and feed it to the discharge wheel. They cope with both small and large quantities of loose or compact material and can partly or completely cut roots and vegetation — which makes them very versatile and, in many conditions, easier to use than a planing blade.
Milling discs — BSL30F
Hydraulically driven milling discs with a diameter of 0.7 m replace the planing blade. The F version requires one additional 150 l/min hydraulic pump, and the minimum working width is 0.8 m — compared with 0.4 m for the P version.
Mounting on a chosen tractor
Thanks to its own hydraulic system, the loader-equipped verge cutter can be mounted on a wide range of tractors from 180 hp. The hydraulic motors are driven by a pump unit powered from the tractor's PTO at 1,000 rpm. All hydraulic motors and cylinders are controlled by a dedicated valve block on the machine, with CAN-Bus control. As a result, operation is independent of the tractor's hydraulic valves.
CAN-Bus control
The machine is controlled via a CAN-Bus, using an electric joystick and HEMOS software integrated with the IQAN display. All hydraulic functions can be operated directly. This allows the mower to be controlled with one hand, while the other remains free to steer the tractor. Thanks to a dedicated valve block on the machine, the tractor's hydraulic spool valves are not needed.
IQAN display
The IQAN touchscreen can display and record various machine data, such as pressures, temperatures, speed and distance travelled. The speeds of the hydraulic functions can also be easily adjusted, and the position of the sweeper brush can be controlled from the display. The HEMOS software also enables automatic control of the machine angle.
Constant working angle
During operation, the verge cutter can automatically maintain the set working angle. The angle control system constantly corrects the position of the discharge wheel and the ploughshare so that the set angle is maintained. As a result, the operator practically does not need to make manual corrections while driving. The machine can work at an angle of 20° above and 20° below ground level.
Simple angle setting
The required working angle can be easily set with the joystick while driving. Once the correct angle is reached, it can be saved immediately and automatic angle control switched on. The current and saved angles are shown on the IQAN display. Automatic angle control can also be switched on and off from here.
Hydraulic front frame
When the verge cutter is used mainly for loading material and is not equipped with an additional conveyor belt, the machine can be fitted with a hydraulic front frame. This allows the conveyor to be fully hydraulically adjusted for height and sideways for the optimum loading position.
Additional belt conveyor
The additional conveyor belt, 1.5 × 0.5 m, enables directed spreading of material along the verge. The belt is mounted on a hydraulic slewing ring and can rotate 40° to the left and 75° to the right. A hydraulic front frame is therefore usually not required, as the additional conveyor itself provides sufficient freedom for directed discharge.
BSL30 — specyfikacja
BSL30 w polu
Step 1: Material removal
A planing ploughshare or milling discs remove the verge layer. Working depth, working width and angle are hydraulically adjustable. A hydraulically driven cutting disc on the outer edge provides a clean, rounded cutting edge.
Step 2: Discharge wheel
The loosened verge material is directed to the rotating discharge wheel. Here the material is broken up and thrown upwards onto the conveyor belt, which carries it away.
Step 3: Conveyor belt
The conveyor belt carries the material away directly. Depending on the version, the position of the conveyor may be hydraulically adjustable.
Step 4: Loading or spreading
Material from the verge can be loaded directly into a tipper body and transported away. With the optional additional conveyor belt, the material can also be spread in a directed manner along the verge. Both the direction and the distance of discharge are hydraulically adjustable.
Step 5: Sweeping
With the optional sweeper brush, the road surface is swept clean in the same pass, leaving the carriageway clear.

Yes – in one pass it cuts the verge, loosens it and carries the material away on a 6.0 × 0.5 m conveyor belt. The material goes directly into a tipper body or – with the optional additional conveyor – is spread along the verge.
By the method of loosening the ground and the minimum working width. The BSL30P has a planing ploughshare and goes down to 0.4 m – it works best on compact soils, where a full layer of turf can be cut off. The BSL30F works with horizontally rotating milling discs 0.7 m in diameter from 0.8 m width, copes with loose and compact material and cuts through roots and vegetation; it requires an additional 150 l/min pump.
From 0.4 m (BSL30P) or 0.8 m (BSL30F) up to 1.7 m. Width, depth and angle are hydraulically adjustable.
From 180 hp, with 1,000 rpm PTO. The F version requires an additional 150 l/min pump, and the sweeper brush requires an additional gear pump with valve. The tractor's hydraulic spool valves are not needed: the machine has its own valve block and CAN-Bus control.
The system constantly corrects the position of the discharge wheel and the blade so that the set working angle is maintained, so the operator practically does not need to correct it manually while driving. The range is 20° above and 20° below ground level. The angle is set with the joystick, saved and automation is switched on; the current and saved angle are shown on the IQAN display.

Yes. A left-hand version is available, as well as a chassis for left- and right-hand configuration, which allows the discharge wheel with blade or milling discs to be fitted on both sides of the machine.
