We'd recommend taking it to your local dealer for service.

Are you looking for a hay rake? We have them on our website: www.bcsamerica.com

The key is to let the tractor do the work, not to fight it. Use the tractor's features like steering brakes, differential drive, and shuttle reverse to control the machine. If you're using your strength to try and guide the tractor, you're going to have a rough day. It's completely self-propelled, so using all of the tractor's features to your advantage will make work much easier. Carman (in this video) owns the tractor and flail mower she is using. She'd be the first to tell you that she's not a body builder, just an elderberry farmer who uses her flail regularly around her property!

@@BCSAmerica what if i have to do a straight line???

The distance from the top of the opening (where your finger will be clasping the dipstick) to the top of the oil line should be 3". The oil is barely on the tip of the dipstick in this video.

The taper lock provides a much more secure connection, rather than a single set screw. Set screws can be a real pain to remove and can break.

And why is there a groove on shaft?

This is our flail mower (link is in description, here it is again: www.bcsamerica.com/product/flail-mower) The tractor is model 739: www.bcsamerica.com/product/model-739-ps

We have a few videos on Instagram: instagram.com/p/C1H9c7Ut0We/ . instagram.com/reel/Cs69hnru3qZ/

Flail mowers have vertically spinning hammer blades that pulverize material into a fine mulch before letting it fall out the back. Brush mowers have horizontally spinning rotary blades. Flail mowers are perfect for shredding cover crops or spent crops in place if you want the material to break down quickly and feed the soil.

If you won't be using a quick hitch, the implements are simply attached to the PTO studs with the included nuts and domed washers. The domed washers MUST be installed with the dome facing away from the tractor, just like they are installed in this video. Keep that in mind and you should be good to go.

Yes, 10 ft/lbs is correct. For the Honda oil drain, it would only need to be about 5 ft/lbs. Essentially, tighten with a wrench, then give it another 1/4 to half turn.

The nut tool is included in any of the service kits that are highlighted in this video. Part numbers and contents of each kit can be found on Service Bulletin 1-10 (under General BCS Bulletins) on this page: www.bcsamerica.com/service-information You can order the service kits from any BCS America dealer: www.bcsamerica.com/find-a-dealer

If you've followed all the instructions in the video, you may need to contact an authorized BCS dealer for further assistance. You can also call our tech service line at 855-832-4501.

General rule: if you can bend it over, the brush mower should be able to cut it.

Hi @Mattfooey, this is a pretty easy fix! Sounds like the handlebars may not have been rotated in quite some time and may have seized. Follow the link below and click on "Tractor Bulletins." You're looking for Service Bulletin 2-24 | PTO Rod Rotation Repair. www.bcsamerica.com/service-information

Awesome! BCS is all about self-sufficiency.

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!

I use a Quick Hitch and 20 kg additional weight.@@BCSAmerica

The smallest model we recommend for this attachment is the 739.

@@BCSAmerica а чому 722 не підходить? Слаба модель?

@@polosataferma Model 722 does not have enough horsepower. There are also clearance issues with the handlebars.

@@BCSAmerica Thank you! And what is the alternative?

@@polosataferma www.bcsamerica.com/build-your-bcs Select the attachments you need and this configurator will tell you all the compatible tractors.

Nevermind. The backing plates were a little bent causing the drum to rub too tightly against them.

@@ohiodeerhunting2552Glad to hear you got it figured out!

This model features a 75hp Kohler engine.

How much this tractor cost???

Silicone between the gaskets. Transmission cover bolts should be tightened to between 17-20 ft lbs. We have torque specs available on Service Bulletin 1-4, which can be found on this page: www.bcsamerica.com/service-information

Not necessary. The material you are cutting actually provides all the lubrication necessary!

@@BCSAmerica That is enough for lubrication the water from the grass? Metál to metal not better somes oil?

@@erikacellar8679 That's correct. If you wash the cutter bar with water after use, you may want to apply some lubricant to prevent blade oxidation. But the blades do not require lubrication otherwise.

@@BCSAmerica I understand, thx a lot ✋

@@erikacellar8679We should note there are a few grease points for the crank drive. We have a few videos on sickle bar maintenance here: www.bcsamerica.com/pages/how-to-videos

i bounce my older model bcs off california sandstone and it hops skips ahead when tines hit. but if you have deeper dirt works great, just dont run over metal stakes on ground may take a leg off. I want to buy newer model like 779 with forward reverse knob control.

Nope, no issue there. They're aluminum as you said. Anodizing won't cause any problems.

It's a Honda GX series. Literally the best you can buy. The extra weight of the older diesel models actually caused a lot of balance issues.

You can get diesel models here in the UK but, even though I have cheap "red" diesel, I got the petrol BCS740. The diesel version is about £1000 more and has far higher noise and vibration than the petrol version.
