If I am not mistaken, the red t-handle on the right hand handlebar is the differential lock? It is always in the forward position. No matter how hard I pull on it, it will not move. I have not taken it apart. Am I doing something wrong? I have tried it with both engine running and not...

I have very tall grass - some of it taller than I am (6'6"). I also have small trees and a lot of brush. My Berta handles it all, but I don't mow if it is obviously wet. I do mow in first gear - I am old and I have a bad back, so I can't keep up with the mower in the rough terrain in second...

Yeah - the small truck would pull it fine in dry dirt even with street tires - although in some areas I had to use 4WD due to the slopes, it just won't get into some of the nooks and crannies that the tractor would have. Yes, I have grass in those woods now. Gophers have made a mess of it after...

Do they do well over uneven terrain? Better traction? I am thinking of getting the rubber tracks. Even though I went over much of the ground around my house with a dozer and evened it out, there are still areas where the tires struggle to get traction and I occasionally get a little stuck and...

My clearing of brush last year with a dozer worked pretty well - I now have about 4 acres of 'lawn' (mostly green undergrowth, much of it not grass but something else that grew and is green), much of it under thinned tall fir trees, that I want to mow, but not with the flail mower, rather with...

I have a little under 20 acres of forest. If I need to haul wood or logs, I use one of my 4x4 trucks (small Toyota and large Dodge with 8x12 flatbed). I use my Grillo for mowing and brush cutting. It will not pull anything of any significant weight, including logs - I use the trucks for that...

Yes - gotten the flail stuck between two trees a number of times. Last time I cut down the tree. I also get it stuck in ruts and holes the loggers left behind. Beside the holes and ruts, the brush would hide those holes and ruts and I would get hung up in them as the tractor did not have...

I used to be an ag mech (that was 30+ years ago) and I have a shop with tools - so yeah, if I can get the parts (and preferably a tech manual) I can usually fix something. Not that I particularly enjoy that. Time is a different issue - I do work around my place on weekends in the...

Ok, some years ago when I moved to my current property (17 acres) I felt I didn't absolutely need a 4 wheel tractor, that I could get by with a 2 wheel walk behind and the right attachments. Well, I was wrong. Also, I am now 63, 5 years older than when I moved here and I am feeling my age; my...

This is what I got:

I always have trouble getting my Grillo 107 restarted after letting go of the safety switch on the clutch handle. I sometimes get into a spot under trees or bushes while mowing, where I just let the tractor go because I don't want to follow it, and the switch kicks in. Then I often have problems...

Maybe a few pics will help: Just ordered a drag harrow.

When I was a kid we would pull an unpowered chisel tooth harrow behind the tractor after we plowed and then disced, to smooth out the ground, remove/breakup clods and stones and other debris (grass/etc. would get caught in it) and sometimes pull a section of chain length fence behind the harrow...

I raised the height up as much as possible and removed the baffle - I did not notice that much difference, but it did help. BTW - I very much agree about avoiding things that can get wrapped around the flail: The previous owner of my property put down some ground cover in various places that...

I have both a BCS 732 and a Grillo 110. I much prefer the latter, but IIRC the PTO rotates opposite the BCS? I spied a used BCS 28" snowblower on CL yesterday - obviously timed to sell with our recent "snow storm" (I got about a foot and that is unusual). I don't really need it just for a foot...

This is kind of what happens when my tiller hits really hard dirt

:eek: Earth Tools I have read threads about tracks offered from Canada and some comments that they weren't good for the tractor? I was just looking at what accessories and implements I was going to order and I was thinking about getting some larger wheels and noticed these new tracks from...

Last weekend I got my saw stuck in a log I was cutting for firewood. I only tried to get it cutting again momentarily, but apparently that was enough to burn up the clutch; as I shut it down to remove it with force, I saw smoke coming out from the sprocket cover. Then when I got it unstuck and...

moved to chainsaw forum

I am removing brush (brambles, saplings, weeds and grass) from about 4 acres around my house. The area has been thinned by loggers who removed a lot of brush and some stumps. Then we spent a few hours going through some areas with a dozer we had for an afternoon. Then some more brush removal...

Besides larger wheels and tires for my Grillo 107D tractor, I believe I need wheels for my Berta flail mower too. Yes, I know there are caster wheels you can buy for either the Berta or BCS flail mowers - but I believe they would be too small for the ground I work my flail with, and they would...

Where can I find a manual for a Berta flail mower that is in english? The one I have is in Italian (I think) and I googled for an online manual and looked on their website and I couldn't find anything. I looked for vids and didn't find anything there either. I want to adjust the height, the...

I just bought a 107 D with BCS sickle bar (36"?) and Berta 26" flail mower. I like it better than my BCS 730 I am mostly using this for mowing brush (saplings, small woody plants, brambles, etc.) and grass/etc. - much of which is currently up to my waist. I will mostly be using the flail...

I have a BCS 730 with a 9 HP B&S engine that I bought used about 2 years ago. It came with a tiller and shortly after that I bought a Bio100 chipper/shredder from a rental outfit. I have wanted to get a flail mower for this tractor every since I bought it, and now I need one even more. I have...

Noticed a decent deal on a BCS dump trailer locally. If I buy it I am wondering how to get it home - my small truck or my big truck? Thanks
