I was curious why the Berta flail mower seems much more popular than the BCS flail mower. The pricing seemed similar. Is there a big difference in quality or other advantages or disadvantages of each?

I think the removable baffle is a very strong selling point. Most mowing can be done with it removed. This allows mowing to be done with less fuel consumed and, in many cases, in a faster gear. It only needs to be installed when chopping up garden waste super fine. Even then, The Berta flail mower does a good job chopping fine with the baffle removed. I typically remove the baffle for customers and write what it fits on it with permanant marker. I doubt many of them ever get re-installed, but they have them if they want to.
The front caster wheel height control design is never better than the rear roller height control. The caster wheels are always in the way when mowing. They're terrible when mowing rough ground in an area with lots of obstacles. I would not recommend them for the Berta mower, even if they are optional. The Berta is better built with better features. The BCS mower is an inferior mower.
Hi to all,
I own a ferrari 340 (bcs740) running a Honda GX390 engine which I use for work (market gardener)
I would be gratefull if you could answer a few questions
Is this engine powerful enough to use the rollerblade 90cm (the big one)?
Is it quick to modify the height of the Berta flail mower? (BCS seems much better on that)
Thank you very much

Hi. earthtools did a youtube mentioning the berta will be available in 30" width, to hit the market any time now. I was thinking bcs for 30" width, but when I heard that I decided to hold off until the berta is released.
