Our old BCS' tiller box removed from the tractor body.
Spent some time today tinkering with our old BCS walk-behind tractor (you may recall it died at the beginning of the season last year). Turns out the tiller box is still in good working order so we cab use it on the new Grillo walk-behind tractor we’re purchasing from Earthtools.
The clever folks at BCS designed the housing of their tillers to allow for expansion of the tines. So not only can we reuse the old tiller but we can also make it wider so that it covers the larger and wider tracks of the new machine. Gotta love Italian ingenuity!
Derek,
Why switch to Grillo? We’re about to purchase our walk behind and still debating pros & cons of each (BCS vs Grillo).
Grillo are cheaper and apparently just as good as BCS according to Joel at Earthtools. The price difference may be name-related. Initially I was a bit concerned about Grillo’s lack of presence here on the West Coast. After a bit of research I discovered that they are very similar to BCS and are quite simple and well made machines. So I’m not that worried.
I suggest you contact Earthtools with your questions. They know their stuff and their prices including shipping were far, far better than anything offered here.
