BCS is absolutely the best. I got mine as a left over from my dad. Gosh, this thing can cut some dirt. It also had a sickle mower that was great clearing out woody places. It is very easy to change attachments. Cost a little more, yes it does, but if you are a serious gardener it makes gardening fun.
$1690 for model 710, I figured it'd be more expensive. Too bad I literally just bought a new tiller. Wish I'd have seen this sooner. I'm thinking my next tiller might be a BCS.
love this! good video too...we farm 3 acres by hand, we live in Grenada, West Indies....our soil varies but is mostly heavy clay with stones on steeply sloping hillsides...would this wonderful machine cope with our conditions? thank you.
@@khansemkhongsai2105 What implement would you want to use? Are you asking if it can drive over watery conditions? It would likely need larger wheels for more ground clearance.
I have a 737. Very nice indeed. Just wish it had a slower speed. 1 at can be to fast most of the time for slow tilling. Can jump and buck if you get to greedy. So much power. Realy need to hand on.

Apples and oranges. Honda tillers use a chain drive to transfer power from the engine to the tiller and include a 3 year warranty. BCS transmissions are built with heat-treated steel gears that run in oil bath (no belts or chains) and come with a lifetime warranty. BCS offers 18", 20", 26", 30" & 33" tiller attachments for our two-wheel tractors. Honda's single-purpose tiller is 20".
Hi I have a question please. If I put the tiller at a depth of 2 inches, and pass over at the same depth setting, would there be a deeper tilth than 2 inches, or would there be a consistent depth of 2 inches? Thanks
Taking a second pass at the same depth setting will definitely till deeper. How much deeper really depends on what type of subsoil you're dealing with. The planar wedge at the center of the tiller (the reason our tillers don't leave an untilled strip down the middle) essentially sets the depth. Raising or lowering the lever on top of the tiller raises and lowers that wedge.

Hello, is it possible to mount a gc190 engine by honda to a bcs? I still have such a Brand New engine lying out and about and it would be the perfect application for the little guy.
Most service is fairly simple to perform and we do have service bulletins and how-to videos available for the most common tasks (with more videos coming all the time). The majority of the routine maintenance is simply keeping the Honda engine happy (changing the oil and air filter) and any small engine shop can do that for you. Thanks!
Thank you for your video. I used to own a BCS 745 diesel rotavator, it was a good machine, unfortunately, it was stolen many years ago. Do BCS still make a diesel machine? I noticed the machine you are demonstrating has a 13 hp Honda petrol engine. I know that the Honda engines are very economical and trustworthy engines.
We don't import diesel engines any longer (they aren't EPA compliant with a variable throttle), but there are engine conversion kits available and we do have some dealers that will swap out the Honda for a diesel option on request. Let us know if you need more info.Thanks!
@@BCSAmerica Hi there, thank you for your reply, it's appreciated. Out of interest what diesel engine option to they use, please? Is it still the Lombardini engine? I know that the Honda engines are good, however, sometimes a diesel engine rotavator has that low down torque and can also be operated at lower revs. This is ideal if you are digging hard ground and you want the machine to bite into the earth.
@@GardenEquipmentReview Yes, it is the Lombardini (Kohler) 11hp Diesel. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised how well our tillers bite into hard ground with our gas engines. With an all gear drive transmission and no belts or chains to eat up horsepower, our tillers will break into hard pan soil with ease. Thanks!
Hi John, Good question! The handlebars of BCS two-wheel tractors rotate 180º. It's recommended to mount the tires in the direction that you use most frequently. If you notice the tractor at the 2:00 min mark, the wheels are mounted the other direction. The tractor at the beginning of the video is primarily used by the owner for mowing (front mount).

I was thinking a bout buying a Roto tiller or a mini Bike, It would be a long ride on the Roto tiller to the store the mini Bike would get to the store faster but the Roto tiller would be better at getting rid of weeds & brush & I think a Roto tiller with the tines on the front dig Into brush better.
I have these tips. The gearbox and pto housing tend to plow the dirt causing the tiller to not penetrate. If you are impatient you can swing the handles back and forth to get that dirt out from under the gearbox. I find the quick coupler makes the problem worse as it lowers the angle between the pto housing and the ground causing more plowing. It works better without it. Bigger wheels help get the housing away from the ground. More and heavier wheels help give it enough traction to just plow thru it. Mow any grass short before starting or it will get tangled around the tines reducing the depth they can penetrate. The last and most helpful thing is to till at the right time. You want the soil to be wet, but not so wet it clumps together when tilled. At least for my soil, which is largely sand with a bit of clay. If you try when it is dry, it is three times the effort, and dusty. If you miss the right window, wet the soil down overnight first. It takes a while for the water to penetrate.
There are four depth settings, with a maximum tilled depth of 8", and they are controlled with the black "depth control lever" on the top of the tiller. For more detail, see this video: th-cam.com/video/XS4SLVroWLg/w-d-xo.html
BCS is better than Troy-Bilt?? Comparing BCS to Troy-Bilt people is like comparing a Bobcat to a shovel. Troy Bilt is a great tiller, but its a homeowner/gardener tiller. They last forever and do exactly what they are designed to do. Schools must have stopped teaching deductive reasoning.
I wouldn't have a tiller with just forward rotating times. My craftsman has both. You put it on forward rotating and hit the hard clay dirt and it pops front tires up and will run away. And I can till thick Bermuda grass twice and have fine powder like soil. I wouldn't trade counter rotating for four of these.
Unlike your Craftsman tiller, the BCS two-wheel tractor with tiller attachment is all-gear driven, with a lower center of gravity, more weight, and much larger tires. The result is that heavy clay does not cause the BCS wheels to "pop up and run away". And, because the BCS features 20 revolutions of the tines per one revolution of the tractor wheel, it effectively (and effortlessly) tills sod. However, your point is valid that, on its first pass over the sod, a forward-rotating-tine tiller will not take as deep a "bite" as a counter-rotating-tine tiller. Our experience is that tilling sod requires one pass more with the BCS than it would if we could counter-rotate our tines. For the record, safety is the reason why our tiller is not designed to counter-rotate. While your Craftman has a belt that will stretch and slip if the operator hits something solid, our concern is that our all-gear drive might cause the BCS to move quickly in a reverse direction. Needless to say, ensuring operator safety and enjoying the benefits of all-gear drive outweigh the inconvenience of making one extra pass in one tilling circumstance; namely, the tilling of sod.
I have one and it would kill you if the tines rotated backward. If you hit a big submerged rock or root, it has enough power to throw the entire 350lb machine (and you) several feet. If that were rotating backward you would not have time to get out of the way
I used to own a Snapper RT8 and it was a tank. Had heavy steel suitcase type weights on the front. It would till in both forward tine or reverse tine. It worked great! But, I ended up selling it because I was worried it might break down in the backyard of a customers house. It would have taken a winch to drag it out.
The handlebars are reversible - meaning attachments can be operated in both front and rear-mount mode. Tilling or other soil-working applications will benefit from the tires being mounted with the chevrons going forward in rear-mount mode as the traction is often needed. Mowing requires a lot less traction, and it really isn't necessary to remove both tires and re-install them on opposite sides of the machine for most mowing applications.
