Do you have any tractors like this over there?

BCS is a 2-wheel walk-behind tractor that's not too rare here, like this:

Wow, that's unexpected, how much horsepower is that

 

[goeduck]

My BCS is only 9 HP. Nice machine, I use it as a garden tractor. Where are you located and what HP is your impressive machine?

Hello
The walk-behind tractor in the picture is mine, using a Yuchai 28 hp single-cylinder engine
It needs so much horsepower because it needs to do a lot of work
Rotary tillers and mulching are sometimes towed trailers
The place of use is Guangxi, China

We used to have those walk behind tractors all over the country. Then those Japanese mini tractors started flooding the country and were just a better option for the operator for not much more money.

The biggest con of them is that those can't have a title and license plate, so those were worthless for most people that need to drive on the road.

The walk behind tractors, could and can go on the road with just insurance using a trailer with lights and beacon. These are custom built trailers with a diferencial and a 4 or 5 speed gearbox and seat on the tongue. The tractor powered this gearbox using the PTO. These little things would move a fully loaded trailer with logs up a steep hill like a mountain goat.

Back in the day, my dad used to have one with a 18hp Lombardini diesel engine. Those engines were started by wrapping a rope on a pulley and pulling the rope. You either committed to pull that rope or it would rip your arm off. Well, one time my dad didn't quite committed to it, and the thing kicked back and started working backward. Loads of smoke everywhere but it still ran.

Hay Dude - that's a cool baler there - you downsizing?

Axing - I spent time in China 2004-06 and saw lots of those two wheel machines on the streets with a rear tundle/dolly and seat would move right along, then on work sites hauling, everything imagineable.

Sir, it's good to hear you tell this story, and there are often accidents caused by engine reversal on our side

If you need to drive a walk-behind tractor on our side, you need to get a license plate and the driver has a Class K driver's license

Oh my God, I didn't expect you to have been to China before, did you shoot in Guangdong or Guangxi?

In Guangdong, there have always been such tractors transporting construction materials, because dump trucks are too legally restricted in such industrial zones

The walk-behind tractor is an agricultural machinery, as long as it does not leak loose materials to the road, the traffic police will not stop him for inspection

Sir, I really can't imagine that a walk-behind tractor can actually drive a baler, there is no such a small baler on our side, they are all big guys who need more than 180 horsepower tractors to drive, it is really a long experience

I don’t really know. I found this item for sale on Facebook and thought it was interesting. So I copied the photo of it.

This is my set up for baling

Axing - Guandong Province and Dongguan in south China, and Shanghai, Suzhou in the north. Here are some other shots of large loads on bicycles. 8 Trips usually 3 weeks each over 2 years. Was a very interesting experience traveling there, and absorbing the customs and variety of food in that country.

This is really a luxurious configuration, is it a Caterpillar tractor?
If you buy this set in China, it must cost several million yuan, because it is purely imported

Sir, can I ask when your tractor was purchased

 

[MapleLeafFarmer]

In Canada we used to use them in the gardens. We called them Wifes tractors.

Bolens, Ariens and Gravely used to make them in the U.S.A. but not anymore. Now days we can order Kubota ZT or NT slapped onto all type of axles making walk behind tractor but not made in N.A. so most people have gone to micro tractors / sub compact tractors instead.

New ones seem to be very very rare now. i don't know anyone who has bought a new one in decades.
