I have the 853. I love it. It is my toy. I wished I bought my mine 25 years ago. I have only had it 5 now. Consider buying the box blade for cleaning corrals in tight spaces. Do not give up on it, It has a learning curve on balancing the weight.
The BCS will change how you grow vegetables. I have a Grillo with a 30 inch tiller box and a rotary plow. Very comparable, 11 hp Yamaha. It is a very good machine. We do all our tunnel ( 4 ) growing in 30 inch beds. You will love the versatility of the two wheel tractor. I should get a flail mower for the tall stuff, and for residue. keep up the good work.
I think you have a great piece of equipment there I have never heard nothing but good things about BCS and there attachments. Talk to you soon Have a great day. God Bless!!!
Man, I 'm glad you guys went with a machine big enough for the jobs! The steering brakes and differential alone are worth it, plus increased engine/tire size to handle the bigger implements. It's easy to let $$ and size/weight influence the decision on size of machine. There is a learning curve and you can expect to have a bit of a wrestling match on your hands at first, but in the long run you'll be glad! One thing that I've noticed is that when running front mounted implements it helps me to run the handlebars lower since most of my adjustments are pushing down to raise the front of the implement and the opposite seems to be true for the rear mounted stuff. You'll love those offset handlebars for forming those raised beds with the rotary plow! We're running about the same setup but I'm on a Grillo 110 (about 8 yrs old). I look forward to your adventures with this machine for years to come! Did you buy yours from the two wheel tractor guru himself, Joel, at Earth Tools in Kentucky?
Thanks Tomk, we got ours though a dealer that is here in the state but it came from the offices in Portland so that we could get right to work with it. We should have some nice adventures with it, when it stops raining on us lol Thanks - Mike
I know a few people that have that brand of machine and what I suggested was to spray dry graphite where the implements hook into the tractor. Especially during the winter with snow and salt. I gave him a spray can , it's called slip plate.
Hi good 🌃 night Mike and Erin the new tractor looks nice, there's always something exciting to see on the project list another great video. Just keep aim coming there always appreciated 👋bye guys .🚜 🐂🐂.
Looks like a useful machine Mike !! I appreciate the demonstration!!! I am very glad you are getting rain for your grassland !! Please be safe and God bless you and your family !!!!!!! Eddy
That thing reminds me of an old David Bradley walk behind tractor my grandpa used to have a long time ago. He would love this BCS if he was still alive 😀
Nice video Mike great machine worked really good for what you used it on small places. I have 7 foot mott 88 flail mower I put behind my 55 Hp tractor. Works great really grinds up the weeds very well. Erin should really like the rototiller and the plow. Thanks for the video.
Congratulations on your new piece of equipment. Hope it does super well for you. Glad to see that things are going well and many blessings to you and your family.
Good Morning Mike, thoroughly enjoyed your new equipment, now looking into purchasing one for the homestead. Keep them coming, I agree, your project list is never ending. You need to host a Project list shindig for all your fans and see if we can catch up on the whole list for one whole week. Free of charge, BYOTF, (Bring your own Tent, Food).
Thats a cool rig! I like all the attachments. Reminds me of the old gravely tractors but more versatile. That would have been a big job for a weed whacker... LOL!
OOOH! WANT! Dunno what possible use I'd have for one of those contraptions, but with all of the accessories it comes with I'll darn well find something I could use it for.
Good vid Mike! The flail mower is great for mowing cover crops as well. I have the Del Marino brush mower for my Grillo. It will chop up anything that it can push over. Pretty impressive when that "something" is an 8' tree! Have fun!
Hi Mike...that is a truly nice machine (WAY nicer than an average Tiller)...will save your back and a lot less sweat with the Bush Hog feature... Keeping up with weeds is a tough chore and I always wondered why weeds seem to grow better than the crops. "Blade Runner" eh...well watch out for the Replicants. Terry - Justin Texas
I don't know about you, but for us it's been a very rainy year so far! This week we've got more to do than we have had in weeks! And it's raining as I write this comment. :| I like the BCS tractor by the way!
They are also easier to hook up to implements, if you start out with the handle bars on the side of the pto. This way you can see what is going on, and even user your feet to help brace the implement. After it is connected, then you can rotate the handlebars.
Nice video Mike. I like your new machine. I have a 101 uses for one like that. I'll have to check that company out. I'll be looking for your next video this weekend.
Looks like a great piece of machinery to use in tight places ya can't get a regular tractor in and have heard nothing but good things about bcs tractors
BEWARE THE BCS 749!!! The jury is still out on the hydraulic clutch system...it's fairly new and they had to slap a 5 year warranty on it to get that model to start selling. The bestselling 853 uses the tried and true traditional clutch system that is very easy for the end user to service if/when necessary. However, if you're near a competent BCS dealer and don't plant to service it yourself, then have at it!
There are some excellent options in two wheeled tractors. Earthtools is a dealer in Kentucky that has an amazing array of power units and accessories. Joel who owns it is absolutely amazing to work with. And Mike.....did you really get this for Erin?😂😂😂😂😂 Nice clean up and don’t they get into small spaces well👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glyophosphate (roundup) and a sprayer. Twice a year and "mowing" is done. Fence rows,around barns,gravel lots and drives: spray it and move on to next chore.Too many chores(and work) and too little time so I always look for fast and effective solutions. The tractor? is very impressive though.
Learn how to adjust the Clutch, because as you change implements that require you to move the handle bars, the length of the cable changes from side to side which requires a Clutch adjustment. See Earthtool video on this subject.
Good evening Mike. I’m happy for you that you bought yourself a new cool tool. I think 🤔 the tires are backwards. I don’t know if it was shipped that way or not. Any ways I thought this would help you since we’re all here to support you. Happy Ranching. 🐄
I imagine everyday on the ranch is a project list of some sort. I can't wait for it (sarcasm) on my small ranch when that time comes to get it up and running.
Omg, mike. I think we might look in to one of these two wheeled Tractor ! We are almost done with our first cutting of hay, my husband had 3 rows of hay left in the last field, then the mower broke down. 🙁 hope all is well.
They seem to have an uncanny sense to break down when you need them the most, we have been haying with one tractor because the other two are down for the count. 🙄
You look like a lil boy with a new toy.😂😂😂 thank you for your vacation vids. Woohoo 2 more nights🍻 what time do you plan on starting Sunday? Have a good couple days till we get to talk to you and Erin. Heres one for Erin, how well do you know plants/ weeds? I jave asked 5 people and they have no idea what it is either. Picture to follow
i have seen they also have a small baler and a hay mower and hay rake for the bcs tractors not sure if these can be found here in us or not but you can find you tube videos on them
Looks to be a great and very versatile machine - the best of luck with it. I am a bit surprised that there is not an electric start though. An unnecessary convenience I assume.
Since this comment it's about a year old I believe you already got a grip on it. First rule of thumb turn on the engine when changing implements and let the machine do the work. Pulling or pushing it by hand it's not practical. Easier, faster. You don't have to fight the machine. ;-) Cheers
It's nice to see you getting used to your new toy, oh I mean machine. Ha ha. But seriously, you said you got some rain, is it helping the hay fields? I know you are very dependent on a good yield. Here in Northeast Wisconsin we have had a lot of rain.
We have had quite a bit of rain in the last few days, it might be a case of too little too late though. We will know in a couple weeks. Thanks Kevin - Mike
ahhh you are too smart for your own good :) That's one of the secrets and cool things about it. The whole machine is reversible :) More on that to come. Thanks David - Mike
David Jenkins depends on the implement you are using. The Flail Mower has to be front mounted. Tillers, power harrows etc are rear mounted. The entire handlebar/control assembly is reversible. Fantastic tools!
This a $6000.00 walk behind mower. It makes no sense financially. You could buy a really decent used compact tractor for that much. And it would be diesel and 4wd.
With all the other attachments it does. You start adding up all the attachments to have to work. Technically a John Deere tractor with a brush beater is a $70,000 lawn mower but when you think big picture it makes sense. Thanks for watching - Mike
What model ...710,720,739,749,852,853,750... which one is best for 7 acre farms...which one is better , more powerful, faster working speed and more duties? Could you please recommend?
You'd want it that way all the time so that way when you're tilling they're facing the correct way to clean out, they still give good traction whichever way you'd Mount them
Yes but get Boer Goats if you are really worried about weeds milk goat breeds are more picky and have less of a bitter palate than meat breeds. And Mike you are right about chasing them around we have them in a full hot wire fence and they have learned to just fly thru it as fast as they can to avoid getting zapped so when they do get the zap it is on their tail after their body is thru so we have to put them back in their fence for them to do it again a few days later. And boy can our fencer zap (Personal experience).
I am admittedly a Crazy Goat Lady in training, but they can be a real pain in the butt -- I don't think you need the extra stress, Mike! Goat Man, I just got a couple of Boer/Kiko crosses, and they will eat the bitter mustard weeds that my Pygmies ignore. So your info re: meat breeds' tastes are spot-on, as far as I'm concerned.
Jeanette Waverly Nice, before we had our milk goats we had had pure and high percentage Boer Goats that were on the larger end of the spectrum for size along with being very stocky. I hope all goes well with your goats.
I'm a technologist and I watch your videos as escape from computing, and because I find them enjoyable & informative, keep up the great work.
Thank you very much and thanks for watching - Mike
The time lapse mowing was very satisfying.
Thank you - Mike
I have the 853. I love it. It is my toy. I wished I bought my mine 25 years ago. I have only had it 5 now. Consider buying the box blade for cleaning corrals in tight spaces. Do not give up on it, It has a learning curve on balancing the weight.
Thank you for the tip, the box blade sounds interesting, gonna have to look into it. - Mike
The BCS will change how you grow vegetables. I have a Grillo with a 30 inch tiller box and a rotary plow. Very comparable, 11 hp Yamaha. It is a very good machine. We do all our tunnel ( 4 ) growing in 30 inch beds. You will love the versatility of the two wheel tractor. I should get a flail mower for the tall stuff, and for residue. keep up the good work.
Thank you John, we are excited to see how it changes things as well. - Mike
I think you have a great piece of equipment there I have never heard nothing but good things about BCS and there attachments. Talk to you soon Have a great day. God Bless!!!
Thank you very much - Mike
I don't have a use for a two wheeled PTO tractor, but boy do I want one now!!! That is cool.
hahaha, thats funny, thanks for that - Mike
Wow! Everything after 6:00 is edible.
walk behind tractors are so versatile great video jim
Thanks Jim - Mike
That is a great working tool Mike! The way the machine chomps weeds, can't wait to see Erin with her tiller gardening away. -Bob
No kidding, she is going to love it! Thanks - Mike
Man, I 'm glad you guys went with a machine big enough for the jobs! The steering brakes and differential alone are worth it, plus increased engine/tire size to handle the bigger implements.

That's one hard working machine.
The BCS looks like a workhorse...Very impressive.Looking forward to watching what other chores it will be used on.
As are we! Thanks - Mike
Nice new piece of equipment, it’s great to work smarter not harder. Have a good day😎
Good point, Erin and I are spread pretty thin, hopefully this thing frees up some time. Thanks - Mike
Hey guys, I have also BCS simular to yours and love it. It is on of best manufacturer. My grandfather use it in 50s. Best Regards from EU, Greg
Awesome, good reviews are always worth it. As you know sometimes making big purchases can be a real gamble. Thank you - Mike
I know a few people that have that brand of machine and what I suggested was to spray dry graphite where the implements hook into the tractor. Especially during the winter with snow and salt. I gave him a spray can , it's called slip plate.
That is a very good tip, thank you - Mike
Hi good 🌃 night Mike and Erin the new tractor looks nice, there's always something exciting to see on the project list another great video. Just keep aim coming there always appreciated 👋bye guys .🚜 🐂🐂.
Thank you so much Athea. Mackenzie asked me to ask you what kind of animals you have in Barbados. She has been looking it up some. Thanks - MIke
Our Wyoming Life cows horses sheep pigs goats dogs. Ducks chickens but i love pigs there my favorite. Have a wonderful night Mackenzie. 💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much. Made her night
Our Wyoming Life Glad it was my pleasure 💕💕💕🐂🐂
Looks like a useful machine Mike !! I appreciate the demonstration!!! I am very glad you are getting rain for your grassland !! Please be safe and God bless you and your family !!!!!!! Eddy
Thank you so much Eddy, we always appreciate it! - Mike
Great video, awesome BCS tractor.
there handy plus they have a lawn mower deck and snowblower,sweeper and different attachments there exspensive here in canada
That thing reminds me of an old David Bradley walk behind tractor my grandpa used to have a long time ago. He would love this BCS if he was still alive 😀
They have been around a long time. There have been a few different brands. Thanks for watching - Mike
Thats a cool machine!
Thanks Matt, it is, if you would like to get to work on it you are more than welcome! - Mike
That is a very generous offer! Id feel bad depriving Erin and you from playing with your new toy!
Thanks again Mike
Thank you - Mike
Nice video Mike great machine worked really good for what you used it on small places. I have 7 foot mott 88 flail mower I put behind my 55 Hp tractor. Works great really grinds up the weeds very well. Erin should really like the rototiller and the plow. Thanks for the video.
Thank you we really look forward to using it more. Thanks John - Mike
nice peace of machinery for the ranch. great buy
Its going to get a work out thats for sure. Thanks Rodney - Mike
Congratulations on your new piece of equipment. Hope it does super well for you. Glad to see that things are going well and many blessings to you and your family.
Thank you Lewis, hopefully its a time saver - Mike
Talk about the right tool for the Job!!
Very true! Thanks - Mike
Thank you for the product review Mike. It got my interest. You are a good spokesperson.
Well thank you, of course we arent getting paid for it but maybe they will notice a bit. :) - Mike
Awesome. Now all you need is a small alflafa patch to have mini hay operation
hahaha, They do make a mower and a rake for it. I didnt see a baler :) Thanks William - Mike
That tractor is awesome. I gotta get me one.
Its alot of fun Thanks - Mike
Cool tool
Thank you and thanks for watching - Mike
Our Wyoming Life no problem been a subscriber for about a week now.
The BCS made short work of those weeds & brush, can't wait to see it working with the other attachments on it.
Its gonna be fun. Love it when you can make work fun. Thanks for watching - Mike
Good Morning Mike, thoroughly enjoyed your new equipment, now looking into purchasing one for the homestead. Keep them coming, I agree, your project list is never ending. You need to host a Project list shindig for all your fans and see if we can catch up on the whole list for one whole week. Free of charge, BYOTF, (Bring your own Tent, Food).
hahaha not a bad idea, would be very interesting. Thanks - Mike
Thats a cool rig! I like all the attachments. Reminds me of the old gravely tractors but more versatile. That would have been a big job for a weed whacker... LOL!
Oh I hate weedwacking. My arms vibrate for a day afterwards! Thanks Jerry - Mike
Haven't hear easy peasy lemon squeezy in a long time.
haha, thanks - Mike
OOOH! WANT! Dunno what possible use I'd have for one of those contraptions, but with all of the accessories it comes with I'll darn well find something I could use it for.
I have a feeling its one of those things that you find uses for, thanks for watching - Mike
Best tiller out there... by far! I wan't one but can't afford it.
They are expensive but we are hoping its worth it. They do hold value really well so thats a good thing. Thanks George - Mike
Nice rig, did a great job, I've often wondered what a BCS was like to own, I'm going to find out, thanks
That you will, thanks Tony - Mike
nice power for close quarters. Thank you
Thank you Earl and thanks for watching - Mike
That bcs makes short work of them weeds. Great video Mike, hope you had a great holiday!
Thank you very much - Mike
Good vid Mike! The flail mower is great for mowing cover crops as well. I have the Del Marino brush mower for my Grillo. It will chop up anything that it can push over. Pretty impressive when that "something" is an 8' tree! Have fun!
That’s what we were going to as we really want to start getting into cover crops. Thanks. -Mike
Great, and good luck!
Nice tractor can't wait for branding videos we did ours last week got in 90s couple days after they looked tough for a few days but nice to be done
I bet it is. I cant wait to put it behind me Thanks - Mike
Hi Mike...that is a truly nice machine (WAY nicer than an average Tiller)...will save your back and a lot less sweat with the Bush Hog feature... Keeping up with weeds is a tough chore and I always wondered why weeds seem to grow better than the crops. "Blade Runner" eh...well watch out for the Replicants. Terry - Justin Texas
haha, I thought the same thing. But I guess you could mow them down and not need Deckard at all! Thanks Terry - Mike
Your experience with this BCS will be nice to hear...it’s on the buy list for me, but as you know it’s a bit of a high dollar item!
That I know. We are hoping it pays off in the end. Thanks - Mike
You need the Sickle bar, that'll get you cutting right under the fence, getting all those weeds.
I don't know about you, but for us it's been a very rainy year so far! This week we've got more to do than we have had in weeks! And it's raining as I write this comment. :| I like the BCS tractor by the way!
Rainy here too, starting to get annoying. We have a couple inches of rain yesterday and flash flooding. Thanks - Mike
That sounds bad! Be safe!
Looks like a nice piece of kit I need this
Thanks for watching - Mike
Thats a handy little machine!I hope it makes yalls chores easier!Looking forward to branding calves!
Thanks Chris, I am looking forward to it as well. Of course the weather isnt helping and we cant brand in the rain so we will see. Thanks - Mike
End of shot of parking it but the garage door is down LOL Good trick Mike.
Wow...Nice
Thank you Anthony - Mike
I am very interested in this stuff. I can’t wait till more videos !
Thank you so much - Mike
They are also easier to hook up to implements, if you start out with the handle bars on the side of the pto. This way you can see what is going on, and even user your feet to help brace the implement. After it is connected, then you can rotate the handlebars.

Thank you very much! - Mike
Yeah mike this isn't a community its a family :)
I totally agree! Thank you very much - Mike
Love it Mike! I got an old Jabra I think it's got a sickle bar mower on it, it's on the project list it's been sitting for years not running.
They make one for this too. Not sure it would be worth it for me, turn a big job into a bigger one, lol Thanks Jerry - Mike
Slick machine
Yes it is, thanks for watching - Mike
Looks like a great piece of machinery to use in tight places ya can't get a regular tractor in and have heard nothing but good things about bcs tractors
Yes, we like it so far. Cant wait to really get out and use it. Thanks - Mike
BEWARE THE BCS 749!!! The jury is still out on the hydraulic clutch system...it's fairly new and they had to slap a 5 year warranty on it to get that model to start selling. The bestselling 853 uses the tried and true traditional clutch system that is very easy for the end user to service if/when necessary. However, if you're near a competent BCS dealer and don't plant to service it yourself, then have at it!
Thanks John - Mike
Those BCS tractors are pretty awesome but they can be alittle pricey for the average homesteader. Thanks mike
That's neat I need one of them
Thanks Todd - Mike
There are some excellent options in two wheeled tractors. Earthtools is a dealer in Kentucky that has an amazing array of power units and accessories. Joel who owns it is absolutely amazing to work with.
And Mike.....did you really get this for Erin?😂😂😂😂😂 Nice clean up and don’t they get into small spaces well👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It is Erins, she was actually ok with me using it ( I checked :) ) Do like it though. Thanks Fiona! - Mike
Honeybees would have loved that clover
They did. We have hives on the ranch. Thanks -Mike
Glyophosphate (roundup) and a sprayer. Twice a year and "mowing" is done. Fence rows,around barns,gravel lots and drives: spray it and move on to next chore.Too many chores(and work) and too little time so I always look for fast and effective solutions.
The tractor? is very impressive though.
Learn how to adjust the Clutch, because as you change implements that require you to move the handle bars, the length of the cable changes from side to side which requires a Clutch adjustment. See Earthtool video on this subject.
I noticed that when I moved them today. Thanks for the tip - Mike
That’s one helluva lawn mower lol. I am jealous 🤢. Lol!
Man I need one of those BCS devils!!
Good evening Mike. I’m happy for you that you bought yourself a new cool tool. I think 🤔 the tires are backwards. I don’t know if it was shipped that way or not. Any ways I thought this would help you since we’re all here to support you. Happy Ranching. 🐄
Thank it will hopefully help much on the ranch. The tool is actually reversible so one way the tires are backwards :) thanks -Mike
cool
Thanks Jesse - Mike
oof mowing cheatgrass just makes it come back with a vengeance
That is does, but I cant have people tripping over it as it gets matted down. Thanks - Mike
NICE
Thank you very much Joe - Mike
I imagine everyday on the ranch is a project list of some sort. I can't wait for it (sarcasm) on my small ranch when that time comes to get it up and running.
That list just keeps growing and growing lol Thanks - Mike
Omg, mike. I think we might look in to one of these two wheeled Tractor ! We are almost done with our first cutting of hay, my husband had 3 rows of hay left in the last field, then the mower broke down. 🙁 hope all is well.
Isnt it amazing how that happens. I think machinery knows! Thanks Melissa - Mike
They seem to have an uncanny sense to break down when you need them the most, we have been haying with one tractor because the other two are down for the count. 🙄
Hi love the videos
Thank you very much - Mike
Your killing me, get that hoodie off it's summer time in wyoming
Right now it is raining at a rate of over 5 inches per hour, our high here was about 50 today. A good time for a sweatshirt lol Thanks Jess - Mike
And straighten up that damn kerkid hat......lmao
Thjat thing works really well. I just bout a rough cut mower for my skid steer
Thats kind of my dream, I would love to have one for the bobcat. Thanks - Mike
I do believe you have mounted your tires on backwards!
Good eye, but thats one of the tricks of the machine. It is fully reversible. We will get into that in future videos. Thanks for watching - Mike
Wow, that thing just eats those weeds!
Yeah it does. Very surprising. Thanks - Mike
Say hello to Photobomb the cat😂
haha, I just had to rescue her, she was locked outside in the rain and wanted in the shop very badly. I said hi - Mike
Some farmers deal with the stress of bringing in hay before the rain, others want more rain.
No doubt, I try not to stress about the weather. Not in my control. Thanks - Mike
You should fabricate a stand on dolly behind that thing like those lawn mowers they attatch them to so it'll pull you and you don't have to walk
They actually make a seat for it. :). Better have a seat belt lol. Thanks Kyle -Mike
Our Wyoming Life oh okay yea thats what I was wondering, a seat would be even nicer, you should forsure look into that 👍
You look like a lil boy with a new toy.😂😂😂 thank you for your vacation vids. Woohoo 2 more nights🍻 what time do you plan on starting Sunday? Have a good couple days till we get to talk to you and Erin. Heres one for Erin, how well do you know plants/ weeds? I jave asked 5 people and they have no idea what it is either. Picture to follow
It is fun, thanks Lorie. If you email us the picture Erin will look at it :) - Mike
cool toy
thanks for watching - Mike
works great..:) i recommend earplugs..:D
Very true thanks Martin -Mike
i have seen they also have a small baler and a hay mower and hay rake for the bcs tractors not sure if these can be found here in us or not but you can find you tube videos on them
I have seen the mower and the rake for it but I must have missed the baler. Gonna have to look. Thanks - Mike
Please do not forget your ear plugs and safety glasses
Good point, thank you! - Mike
Have you ever tried to use pigs for tilting?? They will eat and tilt at the same time ....free
One thing I dont see too much is its turn ability when mowing or some mowing attachment.
They'll 180° have an open diff with a locker and individual hand brakes.
Looks like you get a lot of exercise ! lol
Thats one thing its good for ! Thanks Cat - Mike
Looks to be a great and very versatile machine - the best of luck with it. I am a bit surprised that there is not an electric start though. An unnecessary convenience I assume.
It does have an electric start option, we chose not to get it. Thanks - Mike
Thank you Mike. My Best, John
A few cheap furniture dollies from Harbor Freight might make swapping implements easier. FWIW: I have no experience with one of those. :-)
Hey thats a dang good idea, Thanks a bunch! - Mike
Since this comment it's about a year old I believe you already got a grip on it.
First rule of thumb turn on the engine when changing implements and let the machine do the work. Pulling or pushing it by hand it's not practical.
Easier, faster. You don't have to fight the machine. ;-)

It's nice to see you getting used to your new toy, oh I mean machine. Ha ha. But seriously, you said you got some rain, is it helping the hay fields? I know you are very dependent on a good yield. Here in Northeast Wisconsin we have had a lot of rain.
We have had quite a bit of rain in the last few days, it might be a case of too little too late though. We will know in a couple weeks. Thanks Kevin - Mike
Hey we are branding the same weekend
That is awesome. Thanks -Mike
All that rain your gonna be selling hay this year.
I dont think so. We will see where we end up . Thanks - Mike
LoL
Mike did you notice the tires are on backwards? The treads are pointed the wrong way.
ahhh you are too smart for your own good :) That's one of the secrets and cool things about it. The whole machine is reversible :) More on that to come. Thanks David - Mike
I wasn't sure if the handle bars swivilled all the way around or not. Silly, you were using it backwards huh? Lol
David Jenkins depends on the implement you are using. The Flail Mower has to be front mounted. Tillers, power harrows etc are rear mounted. The entire handlebar/control assembly is reversible. Fantastic tools!
This a $6000.00 walk behind mower. It makes no sense financially. You could buy a really decent used compact tractor for that much. And it would be diesel and 4wd.

It's a lot more than a walk behind mower. Many people get them for the sickle mower alone as it'll go under fence lines and chop down saplings.
What model ...710,720,739,749,852,853,750... which one is best for 7 acre farms...which one is better , more powerful, faster working speed and more duties? Could you please recommend?
i use my brush cutter
Is it my imagination or what but it looks to me like the tires are mounted backwards for maximum traction? As always enjoyed the video
The tires are backwards because technically I am running it in reverse. More on that to come :) - Mike
You'd want it that way all the time so that way when you're tilling they're facing the correct way to clean out, they still give good traction whichever way you'd Mount them
Great tool! Wouldn't goats help with the weeds?
I'm sure they would but I'm not sure I want to or have time to chase goats lol Thanks - MIke
Yes but get Boer Goats if you are really worried about weeds milk goat breeds are more picky and have less of a bitter palate than meat breeds. And Mike you are right about chasing them around we have them in a full hot wire fence and they have learned to just fly thru it as fast as they can to avoid getting zapped so when they do get the zap it is on their tail after their body is thru so we have to put them back in their fence for them to do it again a few days later.

Goat Man, I just got a couple of Boer/Kiko crosses, and they will eat the bitter mustard weeds that my Pygmies ignore. So your info re: meat breeds' tastes are spot-on, as far as I'm concerned.
Kayinfso Here . Yes goats would help with weeds but they need incredibly good fences to contain them.
Jeanette Waverly Nice, before we had our milk goats we had had pure and high percentage Boer Goats that were on the larger end of the spectrum for size along with being very stocky. I hope all goes well with your goats.
New tool or new toy????? I have a hard time making those kinds of distinctions for myself...….
Well if it makes our life easier it's a tool but if it's fun maybe it is a toy. They need a word in between. Thanks -Mike
