BCS two-wheel tractors - factory quality issues, bad support

[2manyrocks]

If BCS is as expensive in the EU to buy as the prices I was quoted in the USA, I have some sympathy for the OP experiencing any leakage. Didn't end up buying because it seemed like so much money for a 2 wheel machine.

I purchased my 853 for $3,300 used and it came with a rotary plow, it was well worth the cost.

the term "tractor" in this instance is definitely stretching it.

Disagree, it is certainly a tractor and if you look up the definition of tractor it even says 2 wheel walk behind.

This is the generally accepted definition. One problem with modern society is the tendency to redefine terms to suit feelings rather than facts.

There is a sub forum dedicated/titled as "two wheel tractors", which is where this was correctly posted.

My Defunct New Holland dealer sold BCS tractors and I agonized over buying one until I found out what they cost. The one he had on the floor was a Hatz diesel. Back then it was insanely priced. Don't remember what it was but when I found out the price, I walked away. Long time ago. I don't believe you can get them with the diesel today, just a Honda gas motor. Hatz builds a bullet proof compresion start low powered, air cooled diesel engine.

Wikipedia is not a source. Calling them tractors is a serious stretch.

Show 100 people pictures of both and ask which is a tractor.

So all of these sources are wrong your saying? Brave Search

I said what I said. These are not tractors in the normal usage. Wikipedia is not a source. Both of these things are objectively true.
