    Opinions BCS 40" sweeper attachment

    Thanks for your post. I have an older 40” Caravaggi sweeper than is having issues and and I looking to get a new one or a BCS brand. I use it mainly for sweeping dead grass and debris off grass. It dries really weak but I can’t use it at an angle at all or it will dig in and twist the machine...

    BCS 853 electric start

    I just got my BCS 853 with the electric start and I want to make sure I understand how the electric start works so I don't mess anything up. First, does the electric start system have an alternator to keep the battery charged? I don't see any light or indication that that says it is charging...

    BCS 853 quick attach loose

    I just picked up my new 853 and I put my old quick attach coupler on it. It bolted easily onto the tractor and the tiller attachment. However I am noticing quite a bit of play in between the tractor and the attachment. Is this normal? I didn稚 ever notice this on my old tractor.

    Stone burying Tiller

    Does anyone have any experience with the Stone burying tilling for the BCS? I would like to use it for lawn renovations. I run into two scenarios where it could be useful. Some areas are very rocky and usually the best option I can see would be to import a bunch of topsoil to cover the rocks...

    How old is this Bio 80

    I came across this used chipper, I believe it is a Bio 80, the label says bio 8, I'm assuming the "0" has rubbed off. I was just wondering how old this is, the current one appear to have a square chute where this one has a circular chute. Thanks

    Barreto 1320 vs 1620

    I do a lot of tilling. I have an older Barreto 1320 with a new Honda GX390 engine on it. It works great but the rest of the tiller is showing its age. I will need to change the tine motor soon at a cost of over $800. I am thinking to get a brand new Barreto, I will use it enough in the...

    Bcs 740 powersafe first run-in

    Well, I guess I will show mine too ;) I got mine 739 very lightly use. The first owner said he maybe put an hour on it. I had around 30 hours but it was almost 2 year so I changed the oil anyway.

    Transmission oil change on 739

    I just changed the transmission oil for the first time on my BCS 739. And I have a few questions. I put in about 2.2 liters of new oil ( the manual says that 2.3 is needed) but when I put the cap back on it looks like the oil level is about an inch above the top mark. I checked the amount of...

    Has anyone ever seen or used one of these power box rake attachments? Power Box Rake with BCS | Blec Global Ltd I use my BCS to till yards before sod is placed but after it is tilled it needs to be raked and leveled before its ready. It looks like this thing would do it all in one pass. I...

    Grillo 107d or BCS 739

    I have a BCS 720 that works fine but I'm looking to get something a bit bigger. Right now all I have is a tiller and that is what I will be doing 95% of the time in the future. I just got a good deal on a BCS snow thrower yesterday. I imagine I will get to use that half a dozen times a year...

    BCS/Grillo attachment compatibiliy

    I have a BCS tractor but I would like to upgrade to a Grillo 107d in the future. I am looking at getting a used BCS snow thrower. Will it be compatible with a Grillo? (I am assuming I will need an adapter). I think I read somewhere that BCS and Grillo PTOs spin different directions in front...

    Best tractor for tilling

    For the past couple years I have been hiring out my tiller to till gardens and yards for sod prep. I started out with a Husqvarna rear tine tiller but I quickly realized I needed something bigger. I found an old BCS 720 last year than has worked great. Now I am ready to go a little bit...

    BCS Tiller maintenance

    I purchased a used BCS 720 this past year and it has worked great. I have had to do quite a bit of work to fix some things. One of my winter projects was to fix the oil leak from the tiller gearbox. Every time I use the tiller I find oil leaking out. I have been filling it up every 5 to 10...
