And the brush bar. Not sure how much brush it will cut, but the teeth are not quite like a sickle.
I am so envious!!
15 months ago I had listed out all of the equipment needs if we were to retain the forty acre stump field and go back into the cow or maybe the goat business. 7 acres was hayable and I layed out the equipment based on the BCS ( with the diesel) to mow, rake and bail to hay that little patch. Fencing costs are what sunk that idea.
When for and retained the 20 acre wood lot instead and bought a mill, a truck, upgraded two of the chainsaws. We grow trees better in my little rain valley anyhow.
For a US independent supplier of BCS equipment, new and used, parts and accessories (the mower, flay rake, minibaler, ect) look here at this Kentucky company:
http://www.earthtoolsbcs.com/
They sell a line of high quality forged steel hand tools too.
You can now sucker the young folk into helping you with the inducement of having this multi-generational equipment willed to them.

Very handy site, thanks. I need a baler badly, but the $9200 price tag is well beyond my means.
NICE TRACTOR! But.... isin't it supposed to have a Changfa hangin' off the front of it? LOL. The prices are up there, but its really nice stuff.

I wish it was a diesel. I know it can be converted. It originally had a 6 hp Acme engine that threw the rod through the block.  The previous guy put a 11hp Briggs industrial engine on it, I called a repair shop and they said it would take the extra hp. The conversion required an adapter and new clutch, so I need to find out if by chance a diesel would fit it. But that is a future project$$
Look's to be in good shape Cory ...So are you going to put up some pictures soon, and tell how much you stole it forÂ
AHHHHHH the toys the toys...........  got to have them........
Here are the pics. Got it with tiller and brush bar for $700. The guy was surprised I drove ~6 hours to get it. As I was loading it into the van he said he preferred the tiller for his tractor he just got. I replied I like ours better too, but how do you till between the rows with it? The looks on his face told me he had never gardened before. Â

Earth tools seems to have even better info on these tractors than the BCS site. they have another type, the Grillo tractor & both have optional diesel engines standard is the Lombardini italian diesel, nice for a high speed engine, or an optional Yanmar. Nice indeed.

If either would fit and not require over $300 in adapters maybe soon, I really hate Briggs. Where would I find a good deal on either?
EDIT: It is a BCS 715 model. And does anyone have need for any 6hp Acme engine parts? Minus the parts that broke when it threw a rod.
