    Two Wheel Tractor Physical Workout Sessions

    Most times when I operate my two wheel tractor I sleep well that night because I'm happy at getting a job done and quite tired, too, from managing a two-wheel beast. I also sometimes am quite sore the next day, too. My smart watch usually provides feedback validating I got a ton of exercise...

    Anyone Flip Over Their Two Wheel Tractor?

    Jens, You are correct suggesting a more wide wheel spacing improves roll over stability. My wheels are set wide as seen in these photos. I can attest to improved wheel traction by adding wheel weights. A 65 pound (30kg) addition increased traction by an estimated 25%. I am now looking to buy...

    Anyone Flip Over Their Two Wheel Tractor?

    I rolled over my diesel BCS 853 last Saturday while pulling a subsoiler implement. We were pulling up landscape cloth buried under 20 years of mulch and I lost track how close to a chip mound from a ground stump the right wheel was. It crawled up that mound and promptly flipped over. I let go of...

    Replacing Fuel Hoses on Lombardini Diesel

    Got my 2007 BCS 853 out of the barn for a project yesterday and it began spewing diesel from the fuel hoses. The hoses were hard and falling apart when I took them off. Ordered a complete fuel hose replacement set from Earthtools. Methinks it may be a good idea to replace the hoses every 8...

    What is your implement priority/usage list?

    My implements listed in decreasing utility: 1. Power Harrow - Makes great seed beds in the garden. Makes great seed beds in my lawn, too, with a much shallower depth setting. No tiller jump, either when encountering rocks. 2. Flail Mower - Excellent for mulching grass, stalks and safely...

    Good Deal in Portland for a BCS 830

    Rototiller/BCS A good deal for what is essentially today's BCS 853 but with 8 hp and smaller wheels. Install larger wheels and you would have a great tractor to last a lifetime. In my experience 8 hp is all you need to run nearly all implements with the exception of mowers > 30". The Kohler...

    BCS Upgrade Suggestions

    Beautiful sunny day here in North Carolina. I have been making raised bed rows with my BCS 853 and double Berta rotary plow. My BCS 737 is pushing a hitch mounted wheelbarrow for collecting and moving all the rocks being tossed out. From using all sizes of BCS tractors (710 through 853), I...
