    Own an old 90s BCS 737...am I now locked into buying a future Grillo???

    So I own an old BCS 737 and it's working pretty well for me (the only irritating thing is that while it seems to runs well, it is too hard to start by pull so I need a powerful cordless drill, socket adapter and 27mm socket to use as a redneck engine starting device). But, the pto system is the...

    Allis Chalmers b-10 package is this a good deal (same as simplicity landlord)

    A local guy is selling a running allis b-10 with working snowblower and tiller, for $400. Looks aged but not rusted out, dented or abused. Saw a youtube vid, looks like the blower throws snow pretty good. How about the tillers anyone use something like that, do they get the job done? Overall...

    Asian belt driven 2 wheel tractors vs gear/pto driven european style

    Well I've been trained from the ag industry and also from bcs promotions that "gear drive and pto" is the most efficient and durable. But, after watching many asians working their diesel machines with large flywheels and belt pulleys on youtube, it seems like they get the job done pretty well...

    Steel rope pull starter - amazingly durable? Not really. ALSO Problems starting Acme

    The steel rope on my bcs is more durable than the housing surrounding it. It grinds into this housing, producing sharp jaggies for the steel rope to rub and hang on. And not so long, your steel rope will fray and cut as a result. You could replace the metal rope retainer and/or the spool...

    kubota 4wd b7100 gear shift w/ loader 2100 hrs $5000

    I've been keeping an eye on these for a year or so and price is probably in line with others. I think I've seen the tractors alone for 3000-3500 but this one may be in nicer shape, and if you have to buy a new loader they can cost around 2000 is what I read. He said he could go 5000 for the...

    TODAY APRIL 8 ONLY! 20 percent off BCS rototillers

    You'll have to pay shipping on this deal, but hopefully not sales tax, so those two may cancel each other out more or less, making this a pretty nice deal for anyone who needs a rototiller for their BCS. From my experience with Joel at earthtools, the tillers generally ship UPS not truck...

    New BCS Rollerblade 30" Flail Mower

    I think this mower is fairly new. It's specifically aimed at gardeners for mulching cover crops and crop residue. It has bigger heavier flails, an anti scalp roller. Does anyone know who makes the Blade Runner BCS flail? Is it that canadian company? I figure this one is made by the same...

    Going to put in a small wheat patch next season - weed control?

    Hey all, I planted a few rows of heirloom italian wheat and some ethiopian barley and saved the seed this season. Next season I should have enough for a patch of wheat/small grains. Was just wondering how to approach weed control on the small scale without the use of sprays. Is ideal small...

    Opinions BCS 40" sweeper attachment

    There's a used one 200 miles from me. Bristles look to be in good condition. He's asking $100. It uses the 3 dog pto so to use on my 737 I gather I'll need the 60 dollar pto converter, and I'll have to buy some caster height adjustment wheels as from the pic I got of it they appear missing...

    Grillo, BCS and synchronized PTO

    Read a thread earlier where Joel mentioned older BCS units have or can have a synchronized PTO for the 4 wheel drive trailer setups. I know on the current Grillo units it's a PTO synchronization kit that must be purchased. Is it the same for my BCS 737, or did the BCS units come with that...

    Most tractor for the $ (Kioti vs Mahindra vs Kubota)

    it's not quite as extreme as it seems because the transplanter has wheels that help support the weight, but some 3 point lift assist is necessary to level the thing out, and if you are going over some gnarly terrain, it would actually be advantageous to be able to lift the whole thing off the...

    Most tractor for the $ (Kioti vs Mahindra vs Kubota)

    Was wondering if people out there have a feel, in general, for which modern utility tractor maker gives the most performance for the money? If you know of any other dependable makers, throw em in. I kinda assume jd, case, nh would be higher priced but could be wrong, I heard most of them have...
