Excellent design and construction, Steelworker! It took several viewings of the video to understand how the spades were powered via transmission and chain drive on the left side. Please post more pictures, videos and descriptions of your unique equipment.

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...

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...

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...

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...

IMHO this is a good deal for someone. BCS 853 walk behind tractor and implements

Love my Berta rotary plow.

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...

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...

Large BCS 850 Rototiller tiller walk behind tractor Its 14 hp Vanguard can likely be made to run for less than $100. Somebody on this board should run and get it this morning! This is an obvious case where the owner (likely an estate heir) does not know the street value ($2000) of this...

This is a good deal for someone within driving distance: BCS 737 Tiller-Mower-Blade/Attch. Bill in NC

I came across this tonight. This fellow has built an awesome 2 wheel tractor and has equipped it with equally awesome homebuilt implements! Pedestrian operated machines: Steelworkers 2-wheeled tractor and accessories

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...

BCS 853 powered by Lombardini diesel with 34" Palladino flail mower.

I live in central NC and we seldom see snow. This is a newer three dog coupling snow blower that had minimal use. If interested, let me know what BCS related stuff you have to swap. Stuff of interest to me are large wheels, blade, cultivators, cart and would put down additional $$ for a more...

I have not seen a tiller housing like this before. Not much guarding coverage of the rotating parts! The tiller is equipped with a furrow-making plow. BCS 725 Tractor Tiller* New Price* Bill in NC

Is it for attaching implements behind a BCS tiller? It says it is for pulling a trailer. BCS Tractor Tiller Cast Iron Trailer Tow Hitch | eBay Bill in NC

Looks like a BCS 853 or 852 and is selling at a great price. If it were within 300 miles of NC I'd already have it on my trailer! BCS Tractor

I currently own a LX176 and a LX277 and over the past 18 years have gotten to where I have an almost instinctive feel for using the hand lift when mowing over obstructions in the yard. One day I will be in the market for a newer JD lawn tractor and it seems the same feature range as my present...

I bought a building recently and a Deere 125 riding mower with only 167 hours was part of the deal. It ran well but about 70% of the time would not start when the key was turned. The previous owner would open the hood, turn the motor fan disk over the compression hump and then use the starter...

Our LX176 has been mowing grass on our one acre "tree farm" since 1993 and has been equipped at times with the JD mulching kit and with JD high lift blades. In recent years I've kept the high lift blades on year round because it is overall less trouble. In the fall I pull a JRCO cart bagger...

Puttering around with mechanical equipment is is one of my pursuits. I bought an 853 with 12 hp Lombardini diesel new about four years ago, a badly in need of repairs 710 with a Honda 8hp about five years ago and an early vintage 737 with a dead Acme engine about three years ago. I don't use...

Its springtime and a man's thoughts (speaking as a nearly 60 year old man) go to mowing grass and cleaning up property. I have the following mowers: 38" BCS lawnmower with bagger 34" Palladino flail mower used 30" BCS sickle mower A 28" Zano brush type mower is on its way to me The 38"...

I'm getting older and the arthritis/wear & tear in my joints, particularly shoulders, coupled with my stumpy, broad shoulders physique makes it a tough process getting off non-bib type overalls. I like the full cover overall as I tend to get my arms into grease and dirt. Walls, Dickie and...

I replaced the safety tube today that covers the drive shaft on my Howse rotary mower. The previous safety tube had fatigued and broken away at the tractor connection end and exposed the u-joint. Question: Does the safety tube rotate when the implement is engaged? I secured the little chain...

Am considering getting a spader but with it being a rare thing here in the USA would love to hear if it is worth the cost. Anybody here got a spader? Are you happy with it? How deep does it till? Does it turn under/incorporate ground cover well? I understand you can run it when the soil is...

Saw this on Craigslist. Looks handy. Hydraulics to dump the cart and also the concrete mixer NEW Grillo 200 Dumper/Carrier + Cement Mixer, Like Power Georgia Buggy Bill in NC

I bought this GX390 (13 hp) Honda motor today. It was on a pressure washer. My plan is to put it on my BCS 737 tractor. Question: The shaft is almost 6" long and it looks to me like it has a shaft extension. Before I do the gear puller/hammer/other action step, I'm showing this picture to...

Not recommending anyone try this with their FEL, but this guy is good. CAT freestyleVideo You have to wonder about the lubrication (or lack of lubrication) going on in that engine during this stunt! Bill in NC

We seldom have snow here in central North Carolina but we do have leaves, lots of leaves. I have a compost pile that nearly 100% oak tree leaves. It is about 12 feet by about 30 feet and it is piled about 2.5 feet high. I don't have a good way to turn over the compost and it is in a corner...

I recently bought an Antonio Carraro 4400 TTH (2002 model) tractor. It is an open station tractor. Would like to compare notes with another 4400 owner. Bill in NC
