Autumn is a great time to reflect on the growing season. I make copious notes during this time and I start to reevaluate many things. I’ve been reflecting on my new BCS tractor. I purchased it with such excitement on how it would change my life on the farm. How it would make bed prep easier for me and save a lot of time.

Well, I’ve discovered that I would have to change the way I do farming and bed prep to make this machine really work for me. Therefore, it doesn’t work for me. Its time to make it available to the person it would be perfect for and put it up for sale. The following is the ad I’m putting onto craigslist. You get to see it first.

“This is a great package for a market gardener as it gives you flexibility to work an intimate space with power and precision, from ground breaking to seed bed creation. Check out the BCS America website for specifics on each item.

BCS PowerSafe Model 739 Tractor with recoil start

Quick Hitch for ease of putting on or taking off the implements.

30” Flail Mower (Bladerunner 75) has vertically rotating 'Y' blades that pulverize plant material into a fine pulp that is evenly spread across the mowing width.

32” Power Harrow:

• Helps preserve soil structure by not mixing soil layers and by creating a larger particle size than that produced by the tiller.

• Reduces weed seed germination by not bringing a new generation of seeds to the surface

• Gently levels and compacts the bed with its metal mesh roller. The firmer seedbed provides better seed-to-soil contact (germination) and improves the performance of mechanical seeders.

Rotary Plow (Ground Blaster):

• Break new ground

• Power compost cover crops

• Build raised beds

• Create drainage ditches

• Power hilling

Mowing Sulky to allow you to ride when using the Flail Mower.

Wheel Extension for the use of the Mowing Sulky.

Weight Kit to install on the front of the motor to balance the weight of the Power Harrow.
