I run the 33" two-stage Berta on my BCS749 in Alaska. Both are impressively heavy duty beasts that get the snow moved without any problems. I am truly glad that I bought both as well as several other implements.
@@lukeehlen9202 yes, I have used it to clear my ~¼ mile road. Hope you arent in a hurry because that's just a whole lot of road. But if there's no loose protruding rocks to jam the impellers, it would work.
Great question! BCS was founded in 1943, out of a simple intuition of Luigi Castoldi, its brilliant founder. His first business revolved around a tiny workshop in Abbiategrasso, a town on the outskirts of Milan; the area still maintains a strong agricultural tradition: all the work, sowing and reaping was done with the farmers' own hands. In his project, the Engineer Luigi Castoldi involved Camillo Bonetti, a manager at the tax authority of Abbiategrasso, and Severino Speroni, an excellent mechanic. The abbreviation 'BCS' comes from the initials of their surnames. Cheers!
The maximum depth for the two stage is not given. Is it significantly better than the single stage? I need to remove snow from the sides of a greenhouse and the single stage is pretty hard to do it with - running an 853 gas.
For deeper, drifted snow, the Two-Stage is definitely superior. It has a 23" intake height and we recommend it for snows that are regularly deeper than 16". You can read more about it here: www.bcsamerica.com/product/snow-thrower---two-stage By the way, what trouble are you having with the single stage version?
I need to clear the sides of a 72’ long greenhouse in Alaska. The drifts often get very deep. The snowthrower just can’t chew it up when it’s that deep.
These videos only depict ideal snow removal conditions. How do you prevent blowing snow from building up around the engine and freezing the throttle and governor controls? The Honda engine is not shielded from the elements on the BCS units.
The most common Honda engine "issue" when blowing snow is related to snow partially clogging the two-stage air filter. By reducing the flow of air into the carburetor, the fuel mix becomes too rich (parallel to running the engine with the choke on) and causes the engine to run rough and/or to stall. The "fix" for this is to always remove the foam pre-filter before snow season and, in extreme conditions, the paper cartridge as well. (Personally, I have never needed to remove the paper cartridge. ) The only other "issue" concerns the freezing of the throttle cable. This can often be prevented by varying the throttle speed periodically which provides sufficiently frequent movement of the inner cable to prevent it from freezing to the outer cable sheath. But, if/when the cable does freeze during operation, the throttle can be locked manually in the full throttle position by tightening the tension nut on the pivot stud of the throttle control arm with a 10mm socket and extension. The location of the stud and nut can be clearly seen on our online video describing the replacement of the throttle cable - ( th-cam.com/video/rRbZBn3W4eI/w-d-xo.html ). When finished working, one must remember to loosen the nut sufficiently to move the throttle to an idle position and let it idle for a couple minutes prior to shutting off the engine. Hope that helps!
I won a 2006 Model 753 with a 4 year old 28" single stage blower on it. I love that unit. I do however have some criticism and the first one is aimed at the whole snowblower manufacturing industry. Firstly. who is the idiot that decided that a snowblower chute should only rotate 180 degrees. Because of my driveway set up, I need a full 270 degrees and achieved that. The one criticism that have of BCS is the inability to adjust the top of the chute without stopping and doing it manually. For working on mid-sized urban residential driveways with minimum sideyards, that can be a real pain in the *ss.
Using a Quick Hitch and a PTO extension will put the smaller single stage Snow Thrower out further in front of the tractor and counterbalance the weight!

Do you think this combo would handle a 1/4 mile long gravel driveway in WI?

I run a BCS 722 with a 20" single stage since 2010 in NB, Canada. Dependable piece of kit. Oh, since you're here, what do the letters BCS stand for?

@@robertbrown4356 That sounds like a great job for the two-stage.
Impressive!

Hi, how long does it take to switch from the blade to the snow blower?
With our Quick Hitch, switching attachments takes less than a minute.
Thanks. How do you compare the two stage blower with a Yamaha 1332? Are the performance about the same?

The single-stage snow blower is too light for medium and large tractors.

I use a Quick Hitch and 20 kg additional weight.@@BCSAmerica
I still want that 622 reaper 😭 or the 303. COME ON 2022 🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞
Safe bet ;)
