2 wheel tractor vs wheel horse

[meangreenmachine]

How is this system working? I never have seen it in real, cause it is not common here.

PS: New Rideon Mowers are very expensive in Germany

It works great. It is a single purpose two wheel tractor useful for tilling only. There are several different brands in the USA.

Here is a link with photos.

Ok...this one we know here, too. But only as MTD. I was thinking about something liket this:

I have seen them once in the net, but without own engine. Driven by belt? Guess it was mounted to an Wheel Horse or Cub Cadet.

Very true but if your budget is troublesome the purchase of a "BCS" as an example or a "Grillo"
is miney in the bank.
It is forever tractor as you can always obtain parts-I cannot buy replacement parts for my wheel horse as they are no longer made- makes me wish I had bought a Kubota and been done with it.



The BCS can handle a flail mower, snow blower, rotary finish mower, rototiller
etc. , and the BCS also has the rotary plow option like the old gravelys and they will dig deeper than a standard rototiller, and break virgin or long unused ground but you should have a tiller to use for weeding and bed building.

You can obtain a sulky to ride behind it while mowing which saves on the legs with a big lawn and a flail mower can and will cut deep grass better than a standard mower deck and will not plug up and
the flail has more knife blades to cut the grass with less effort and fuel.

I have no financial interest in BCS tractors

I've never owned a two wheel tractor, having looked at BCS and Gravely over the years, I agree that the main benefit of a 2-wheel would be maneuverability. Am now on my second Wheel Horse garden tractor, having owned each for 20 years. Am sorta looking about for a new machine but very unfortunate that TORO has discontinued manufacturer of Wheel Horse.:At this point the Wheel Horse still runs well and mows well. But that's not going to last forever. Got a nice buy on a Sears used rear tiller a few years ago for the gardens.

I too have the craftsman (sears) rototiller. Does everything I want it to. The trans seems kind of cheap but it has stayed together. Motor likes to start after sitting for months and that is sure a plus. It's a briggs, a big one (size) probably only 6hp, can't really remember. Good for small tight areas. Don't use it much as i have a 34hp tractor with a 4' disc.
