Grillo and BCS

[ecolbeck]

I have a BCS 730 with 8hp kohler magnum and older spline shaft sickle bar and snowblower which I use with an adapter.

I am looking to buy a Grillo 85d which I want for its 10hp kohler command pro and locking differential.

I want to confirm that I can use the BCS sickle mower as is on the Grillo tractor and the snowblower with special adapter from Earth Tools.

I'm no expert, but the ET FAQ page Frequently Asked Questions - Earth Tools #17 says sickle bars should work with both BCS and Crickets. If a suitable adapter is available.

..."Therefore, the only mowers that can be interchanged are the cutter (sickle) bar mowers – which have reciprocating blades, so they don’t care which way the PTO turns."...

Might be worth a look for you. Good luck.

Yes, thank you, I did go there first. The website info seems contradictory. It appears that they sell a specific adapter for snowblowers but when I called the guy I talked to was unfamiliar with the issue and suggest I call back later.

Call Joel and ask, he would know.
