Hello,
I am now preparing myself to buy my first BCS. For me, it's going to be used also for garden services, not only for private job. However I do not have any experience with BCS system. I wanted to buy the diesel, because of lower cost of fuel - what I read is that gasoline versions take almost the double of what diesel takes. I also wanted to buy the HST version - my current Kubota also has HST and I like to have this as something more comfortable to operate.
However the more I read and check, the more doubts I have.
I discovered, that people who do services with this equipment, do not choose diesel very often. They usualy take honda or little bit stronger B&S engine. I heard following explanations :
1. Diesel is much more heavier than gasoline - so it's much harder to manuveur with it
2. Diesel makes much more noise and also much more vibrations comparing with gas
And for HST I am also not so sure anymore, because some folks say, that with HST You got always less PTO power- this is valid for tractors but difference is not that big. Also if I understand correctly, to operate back and forth with HST, I just have to switch one handle right? But to move back and forth with non-hst, from what I saw, it does not looks much more complicated. It's simly reverse and forward switch. While with my tractor there is a huge benefit with HST, maybe it's not a big addon with BCS?
best regards
