BCS Tractor and Flail Mower - The Project List

[@zezeandjr4110]

I'm a technologist and I watch your videos as escape from computing, and because I find them enjoyable & informative, keep up the great work.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you very much and thanks for watching - Mike

[@ivanguy62]

I have the 853. I love it. It is my toy. I wished I bought my mine 25 years ago. I have only had it 5 now. Consider buying the box blade for cleaning corrals in tight spaces. Do not give up on it, It has a learning curve on balancing the weight.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you for the tip, the box blade sounds interesting, gonna have to look into it. - Mike

[@MountainHobbler]

The time lapse mowing was very satisfying.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you - Mike

[@ProfessorKitchen]

I don't have a use for a two wheeled PTO tractor, but boy do I want one now!!! That is cool.

[@OurWyomingLife]

hahaha, thats funny, thanks for that - Mike

[@wranther]

That is a great working tool Mike! The way the machine chomps weeds, can't wait to see Erin with her tiller gardening away. -Bob

[@OurWyomingLife]

No kidding, she is going to love it! Thanks - Mike

[@jamesajoachim3]

walk behind tractors are so versatile great video jim

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Jim - Mike

[@johnwesselius3235]

The BCS will change how you grow vegetables. I have a Grillo with a 30 inch tiller box and a rotary plow. Very comparable, 11 hp Yamaha. It is a very good machine. We do all our tunnel ( 4 ) growing in 30 inch beds. You will love the versatility of the two wheel tractor. I should get a flail mower for the tall stuff, and for residue. keep up the good work.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you John, we are excited to see how it changes things as well. - Mike

[@charlie19649]

The BCS looks like a workhorse...Very impressive.Looking forward to watching what other chores it will be used on.

[@OurWyomingLife]

As are we! Thanks - Mike

[@nashguy207]

I think you have a great piece of equipment there I have never heard nothing but good things about BCS and there attachments. Talk to you soon Have a great day. God Bless!!!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you very much - Mike

[@tommathews3964]

Man, I 'm glad you guys went with a machine big enough for the jobs! The steering brakes and differential alone are worth it, plus increased engine/tire size to handle the bigger implements. It's easy to let $$ and size/weight influence the decision on size of machine. There is a learning curve and you can expect to have a bit of a wrestling match on your hands at first, but in the long run you'll be glad! One thing that I've noticed is that when running front mounted implements it helps me to run the handlebars lower since most of my adjustments are pushing down to raise the front of the implement and the opposite seems to be true for the rear mounted stuff. You'll love those offset handlebars for forming those raised beds with the rotary plow! We're running about the same setup but I'm on a Grillo 110 (about 8 yrs old). I look forward to your adventures with this machine for years to come! Did you buy yours from the two wheel tractor guru himself, Joel, at Earth Tools in Kentucky?

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Tomk, we got ours though a dealer that is here in the state but it came from the offices in Portland so that we could get right to work with it. We should have some nice adventures with it, when it stops raining on us lol Thanks - Mike

[@Navigator777777]

Wow! Everything after 6:00 is edible.

[@memyselfandifarmer]

I know a few people that have that brand of machine and what I suggested was to spray dry graphite where the implements hook into the tractor. Especially during the winter with snow and salt. I gave him a spray can , it's called slip plate.

[@OurWyomingLife]

That is a very good tip, thank you - Mike

[@gander2819]

That thing reminds me of an old David Bradley walk behind tractor my grandpa used to have a long time ago. He would love this BCS if he was still alive 😀

[@OurWyomingLife]

They have been around a long time. There have been a few different brands. Thanks for watching - Mike

[@rayeddy528]

Looks like a useful machine Mike !! I appreciate the demonstration!!! I am very glad you are getting rain for your grassland !! Please be safe and God bless you and your family !!!!!!! Eddy

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you so much Eddy, we always appreciate it! - Mike

[@brentfarrow8125]

Nice new piece of equipment, it’s great to work smarter not harder. Have a good day😎

[@OurWyomingLife]

Good point, Erin and I are spread pretty thin, hopefully this thing frees up some time. Thanks - Mike

[@bigbear568]

Congratulations on your new piece of equipment. Hope it does super well for you. Glad to see that things are going well and many blessings to you and your family.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Lewis, hopefully its a time saver - Mike

[@cerberus2881]

You need the Sickle bar, that'll get you cutting right under the fence, getting all those weeds.

[@johnmurphy8259]

Nice video Mike great machine worked really good for what you used it on small places. I have 7 foot mott 88 flail mower I put behind my 55 Hp tractor. Works great really grinds up the weeds very well. Erin should really like the rototiller and the plow. Thanks for the video.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you we really look forward to using it more. Thanks John - Mike

[@ronzi83]

Hey guys, I have also BCS simular to yours and love it. It is on of best manufacturer. My grandfather use it in 50s. Best Regards from EU, Greg

[@OurWyomingLife]

Awesome, good reviews are always worth it. As you know sometimes making big purchases can be a real gamble. Thank you - Mike

[@williamdunn2525]

Awesome. Now all you need is a small alflafa patch to have mini hay operation

[@OurWyomingLife]

hahaha, They do make a mower and a rake for it. I didnt see a baler :) Thanks William - Mike

[@atheanicholls2199]

Hi good 🌃 night Mike and Erin the new tractor looks nice, there's always something exciting to see on the project list another great video. Just keep aim coming there always appreciated 👋bye guys .🚜 🐂🐂.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you so much Athea. Mackenzie asked me to ask you what kind of animals you have in Barbados. She has been looking it up some. Thanks - MIke

[@atheanicholls2199]

Our Wyoming Life cows horses sheep pigs goats dogs. Ducks chickens but i love pigs there my favorite. Have a wonderful night Mackenzie. 💕💕💕💕

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you so much. Made her night

[@atheanicholls2199]

Our Wyoming Life Glad it was my pleasure 💕💕💕🐂🐂

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

That's one hard working machine.

[@pinesparrow]

Honeybees would have loved that clover

[@OurWyomingLife]

They did. We have hives on the ranch. Thanks -Mike

[@ResidentEngineer1]

Great video, awesome BCS tractor.

[@michaelmactavish1728]

there handy plus they have a lawn mower deck and snowblower,sweeper and different attachments there exspensive here in canada

[@sneak6654]

The BCS made short work of those weeds & brush, can't wait to see it working with the other attachments on it.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Its gonna be fun. Love it when you can make work fun. Thanks for watching - Mike

[@kylebuchmann8585]

Thanks again Mike

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you - Mike

[@rodneywroten2994]

nice peace of machinery for the ranch. great buy

[@OurWyomingLife]

Its going to get a work out thats for sure. Thanks Rodney - Mike

[@sandy1653]

OOOH! WANT! Dunno what possible use I'd have for one of those contraptions, but with all of the accessories it comes with I'll darn well find something I could use it for.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I have a feeling its one of those things that you find uses for, thanks for watching - Mike

[@ambroseparker8837]

Good Morning Mike, thoroughly enjoyed your new equipment, now looking into purchasing one for the homestead. Keep them coming, I agree, your project list is never ending. You need to host a Project list shindig for all your fans and see if we can catch up on the whole list for one whole week. Free of charge, BYOTF, (Bring your own Tent, Food).

[@OurWyomingLife]

hahaha not a bad idea, would be very interesting. Thanks - Mike

[@tonyburelle6633]

Nice rig, did a great job, I've often wondered what a BCS was like to own, I'm going to find out, thanks

[@OurWyomingLife]

That you will, thanks Tony - Mike

[@joshblick]

End of shot of parking it but the garage door is down LOL Good trick Mike.

[@787Earl]

nice power for close quarters. Thank you

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Earl and thanks for watching - Mike

[@jerrycoon4504]

Thats a cool rig! I like all the attachments. Reminds me of the old gravely tractors but more versatile. That would have been a big job for a weed whacker... LOL!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Oh I hate weedwacking. My arms vibrate for a day afterwards! Thanks Jerry - Mike

[@dbruns9340]

Nice tractor can't wait for branding videos we did ours last week got in 90s couple days after they looked tough for a few days but nice to be done

[@OurWyomingLife]

I bet it is. I cant wait to put it behind me Thanks - Mike

[@jeremecrane7924]

Talk about the right tool for the Job!!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Very true! Thanks - Mike

[@sammypatton8726]

That bcs makes short work of them weeds. Great video Mike, hope you had a great holiday!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you very much - Mike

[@stevemondal.]

Thank you for the product review Mike. It got my interest. You are a good spokesperson.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Well thank you, of course we arent getting paid for it but maybe they will notice a bit. :) - Mike

[@mattfencl3614]

Thats a cool machine!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Matt, it is, if you would like to get to work on it you are more than welcome! - Mike

[@mattfencl3614]

That is a very generous offer! Id feel bad depriving Erin and you from playing with your new toy!

[@salmonhunter7414]

Haven't hear easy peasy lemon squeezy in a long time.

[@OurWyomingLife]

haha, thanks - Mike

[@mikestone9129]

That tractor is awesome. I gotta get me one.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Its alot of fun Thanks - Mike

[@ronbell7920]

Good vid Mike! The flail mower is great for mowing cover crops as well. I have the Del Marino brush mower for my Grillo. It will chop up anything that it can push over. Pretty impressive when that "something" is an 8' tree! Have fun!

[@OurWyomingLife]

That’s what we were going to as we really want to start getting into cover crops. Thanks. -Mike

[@ronbell7920]

Great, and good luck!

[@collinwilliams8688]

Looks like a nice piece of kit I need this

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for watching - Mike

[@jerrynix5206]

Love it Mike! I got an old Jabra I think it's got a sickle bar mower on it, it's on the project list it's been sitting for years not running.

[@OurWyomingLife]

They make one for this too. Not sure it would be worth it for me, turn a big job into a bigger one, lol Thanks Jerry - Mike

[@outcastprojects6733]

Thats a handy little machine!I hope it makes yalls chores easier!Looking forward to branding calves!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Chris, I am looking forward to it as well. Of course the weather isnt helping and we cant brand in the rain so we will see. Thanks - Mike

[@terrybruce5923]

Hi Mike...that is a truly nice machine (WAY nicer than an average Tiller)...will save your back and a lot less sweat with the Bush Hog feature... Keeping up with weeds is a tough chore and I always wondered why weeds seem to grow better than the crops. "Blade Runner" eh...well watch out for the Replicants. Terry - Justin Texas

[@OurWyomingLife]

haha, I thought the same thing. But I guess you could mow them down and not need Deckard at all! Thanks Terry - Mike

[@TheKiltedHomesteader]

They are also easier to hook up to implements, if you start out with the handle bars on the side of the pto. This way you can see what is going on, and even user your feet to help brace the implement. After it is connected, then you can rotate the handlebars.

[@SLFYSH]

Your experience with this BCS will be nice to hear...it’s on the buy list for me, but as you know it’s a bit of a high dollar item!

[@OurWyomingLife]

That I know. We are hoping it pays off in the end. Thanks - Mike

[@nicholaswinbigler260]

I am very interested in this stuff. I can’t wait till more videos !

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you so much - Mike

[@pcsweeney3898]

Nice video Mike. I like your new machine. I have a 101 uses for one like that. I'll have to check that company out. I'll be looking for your next video this weekend.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you very much! - Mike

[@jamisonbrooks]

Cool tool

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you and thanks for watching - Mike

[@jamisonbrooks]

Our Wyoming Life no problem been a subscriber for about a week now.

[@ivanguy62]

Learn how to adjust the Clutch, because as you change implements that require you to move the handle bars, the length of the cable changes from side to side which requires a Clutch adjustment. See Earthtool video on this subject.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I noticed that when I moved them today. Thanks for the tip - Mike

[@TheCondor300]

Best tiller out there... by far! I wan't one but can't afford it.

[@OurWyomingLife]

They are expensive but we are hoping its worth it. They do hold value really well so thats a good thing. Thanks George - Mike

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Glyophosphate (roundup) and a sprayer. Twice a year and "mowing" is done. Fence rows,around barns,gravel lots and drives: spray it and move on to next chore.Too many chores(and work) and too little time so I always look for fast and effective solutions. The tractor? is very impressive though.

[@AnthonyCNez]

Wow...Nice

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Anthony - Mike

[@russellmoore943]

Looks like a great piece of machinery to use in tight places ya can't get a regular tractor in and have heard nothing but good things about bcs tractors

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yes, we like it so far. Cant wait to really get out and use it. Thanks - Mike

[@minenotyours9031]

Yeah mike this isn't a community its a family :)

[@OurWyomingLife]

I totally agree! Thank you very much - Mike

[@Mary-had-a-lil-farm]

That’s one helluva lawn mower lol. I am jealous 🤢. Lol!

[@coryhoover608]

I do believe you have mounted your tires on backwards!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Good eye, but thats one of the tricks of the machine. It is fully reversible. We will get into that in future videos. Thanks for watching - Mike

[@johncraftenworth7847]

BEWARE THE BCS 749!!! The jury is still out on the hydraulic clutch system...it's fairly new and they had to slap a 5 year warranty on it to get that model to start selling. The bestselling 853 uses the tried and true traditional clutch system that is very easy for the end user to service if/when necessary. However, if you're near a competent BCS dealer and don't plant to service it yourself, then have at it!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks John - Mike

[@fionajane56]

There are some excellent options in two wheeled tractors. Earthtools is a dealer in Kentucky that has an amazing array of power units and accessories. Joel who owns it is absolutely amazing to work with. And Mike.....did you really get this for Erin?😂😂😂😂😂 Nice clean up and don’t they get into small spaces well👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@OurWyomingLife]

It is Erins, she was actually ok with me using it ( I checked :) ) Do like it though. Thanks Fiona! - Mike

[@TwoFarmBoys]

I don't know about you, but for us it's been a very rainy year so far! This week we've got more to do than we have had in weeks! And it's raining as I write this comment. :| I like the BCS tractor by the way!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Rainy here too, starting to get annoying. We have a couple inches of rain yesterday and flash flooding. Thanks - Mike

[@TwoFarmBoys]

That sounds bad! Be safe!

[@kwinchronic8953]

You should fabricate a stand on dolly behind that thing like those lawn mowers they attatch them to so it'll pull you and you don't have to walk

[@OurWyomingLife]

They actually make a seat for it. :). Better have a seat belt lol. Thanks Kyle -Mike

[@kwinchronic8953]

Our Wyoming Life oh okay yea thats what I was wondering, a seat would be even nicer, you should forsure look into that 👍

[@46rambo49]

oof mowing cheatgrass just makes it come back with a vengeance

[@OurWyomingLife]

That is does, but I cant have people tripping over it as it gets matted down. Thanks - Mike

[@blindwisdom9665]

That's neat I need one of them

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Todd - Mike

[@portugeeprepper6821]

Those BCS tractors are pretty awesome but they can be alittle pricey for the average homesteader. Thanks mike

[@mainormurillo7254]

Man I need one of those BCS devils!!

[@Northern_Farmer]

Thjat thing works really well. I just bout a rough cut mower for my skid steer

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thats kind of my dream, I would love to have one for the bobcat. Thanks - Mike

[@barbcoleus]

Say hello to Photobomb the cat😂

[@OurWyomingLife]

haha, I just had to rescue her, she was locked outside in the rain and wanted in the shop very badly. I said hi - Mike

[@noc8076]

Some farmers deal with the stress of bringing in hay before the rain, others want more rain.

[@OurWyomingLife]

No doubt, I try not to stress about the weather. Not in my control. Thanks - Mike

[@harrisjuan1564]

Good evening Mike. I’m happy for you that you bought yourself a new cool tool. I think 🤔 the tires are backwards. I don’t know if it was shipped that way or not. Any ways I thought this would help you since we’re all here to support you. Happy Ranching. 🐄

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank it will hopefully help much on the ranch. The tool is actually reversible so one way the tires are backwards :) thanks -Mike

[@jessegoucher8813]

cool

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Jesse - Mike

[@melissawilliamson7907]

Omg, mike. I think we might look in to one of these two wheeled Tractor ! We are almost done with our first cutting of hay, my husband had 3 rows of hay left in the last field, then the mower broke down. 🙁 hope all is well.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Isnt it amazing how that happens. I think machinery knows! Thanks Melissa - Mike

[@melissawilliamson7907]

They seem to have an uncanny sense to break down when you need them the most, we have been haying with one tractor because the other two are down for the count. 🙄

[@mattphillips4260]

i have seen they also have a small baler and a hay mower and hay rake for the bcs tractors not sure if these can be found here in us or not but you can find you tube videos on them

[@OurWyomingLife]

I have seen the mower and the rake for it but I must have missed the baler. Gonna have to look. Thanks - Mike

[@stephencampbell4145]

Slick machine

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yes it is, thanks for watching - Mike

[@rafaelborrego36]

Have you ever tried to use pigs for tilting?? They will eat and tilt at the same time ....free

[@Drifter5.7]

I imagine everyday on the ranch is a project list of some sort. I can't wait for it (sarcasm) on my small ranch when that time comes to get it up and running.

[@OurWyomingLife]

That list just keeps growing and growing lol Thanks - Mike

[@hollerhavenfarms24]

Please do not forget your ear plugs and safety glasses

[@OurWyomingLife]

Good point, thank you! - Mike

[@joenadeau4419]

NICE

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you very much Joe - Mike

[@fixitbrokeitfixit]

One thing I dont see too much is its turn ability when mowing or some mowing attachment.

[@horseblinderson4747]

They'll 180° have an open diff with a locker and individual hand brakes.

[@brentderksen]

Wow, that thing just eats those weeds!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yeah it does. Very surprising. Thanks - Mike

[@loriehabel1552]

You look like a lil boy with a new toy.😂😂😂 thank you for your vacation vids. Woohoo 2 more nights🍻 what time do you plan on starting Sunday? Have a good couple days till we get to talk to you and Erin. Heres one for Erin, how well do you know plants/ weeds? I jave asked 5 people and they have no idea what it is either. Picture to follow

[@OurWyomingLife]

It is fun, thanks Lorie. If you email us the picture Erin will look at it :) - Mike

[@jrod264winmag]

Your killing me, get that hoodie off it's summer time in wyoming

[@OurWyomingLife]

Right now it is raining at a rate of over 5 inches per hour, our high here was about 50 today. A good time for a sweatshirt lol Thanks Jess - Mike

[@davidjenkins9705]

And straighten up that damn kerkid hat......lmao

[@dakotafarnam2289]

Hi love the videos

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you very much - Mike

[@funkidslearning9646]

What model ...710,720,739,749,852,853,750... which one is best for 7 acre farms...which one is better , more powerful, faster working speed and more duties? Could you please recommend?

[@catlockhart6965]

Looks like you get a lot of exercise ! lol

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thats one thing its good for ! Thanks Cat - Mike

[@JOHNBEA]

Looks to be a great and very versatile machine - the best of luck with it. I am a bit surprised that there is not an electric start though. An unnecessary convenience I assume.

[@OurWyomingLife]

It does have an electric start option, we chose not to get it. Thanks - Mike

[@JOHNBEA]

Thank you Mike. My Best, John

[@bsturgeon2379]

Hello mike and Erin how’s it going good here in Kentucky I was wondering would it been better to get a compact tractor and u would have had more horse power with one like a John Deere and could get a bush hog and other attachments and one with a front loader and could have used it for the Garden and mowing and could do lawn care on the side in the summer time lol thanks

[@OurWyomingLife]

The general rule for brush hogs is about 5 hp per foot of cutter, so if you had a 5 foot brush hog you would need at least a 25 horse tractor. Now there are alot of factors in there, including the terrain you cut on. Sounds like a great way to make some side income. Thanks for watching - Mike

[@martinspijker9661]

works great..:) i recommend earplugs..:D

[@OurWyomingLife]

Very true thanks Martin -Mike

[@TheSoutholive]

Hey we are branding the same weekend

[@OurWyomingLife]

That is awesome. Thanks -Mike

[@aldridgesp]

cool toy

[@OurWyomingLife]

thanks for watching - Mike

[@JesseHires]

A few cheap furniture dollies from Harbor Freight might make swapping implements easier. FWIW: I have no experience with one of those. :-)

[@OurWyomingLife]

Hey thats a dang good idea, Thanks a bunch! - Mike

[@crpth1]

Since this comment it's about a year old I believe you already got a grip on it. First rule of thumb turn on the engine when changing implements and let the machine do the work. Pulling or pushing it by hand it's not practical. Easier, faster. You don't have to fight the machine. ;-) Cheers

[@wiguy3462]

It's nice to see you getting used to your new toy, oh I mean machine. Ha ha. But seriously, you said you got some rain, is it helping the hay fields? I know you are very dependent on a good yield. Here in Northeast Wisconsin we have had a lot of rain.

[@OurWyomingLife]

We have had quite a bit of rain in the last few days, it might be a case of too little too late though. We will know in a couple weeks. Thanks Kevin - Mike

[@arjaygee5034]

Can you load that clip of Erin using the BCS Tractor on KZbin? I saw it in your report, but deleted it before I could show my wife.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Here you go sir kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYWaZaCCbbOnjrc Thanks - Mike

[@arjaygee5034]

Perfect! Thanks!!

[@smileyclownyloks9949]

Did you bought the ranch?

[@tammysarrazin7078]

i have yet to see a video where there is a cat lol

[@jacobbraybrook6306]

Hi mike how are you today

[@OurWyomingLife]

Hi Jacob, we are doing well. A little wet but good :) - Mike

[@davidjenkins9705]

Mike did you notice the tires are on backwards? The treads are pointed the wrong way.

[@OurWyomingLife]

ahhh you are too smart for your own good :) That's one of the secrets and cool things about it. The whole machine is reversible :) More on that to come. Thanks David - Mike

[@davidjenkins9705]

I wasn't sure if the handle bars swivilled all the way around or not. Silly, you were using it backwards huh? Lol

[@tommathews3964]

David Jenkins depends on the implement you are using. The Flail Mower has to be front mounted. Tillers, power harrows etc are rear mounted. The entire handlebar/control assembly is reversible. Fantastic tools!

[@jrod264winmag]

All that rain your gonna be selling hay this year.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I dont think so. We will see where we end up . Thanks - Mike

[@brianjonker510]

LoL

[@lostnation5348]

New tool or new toy????? I have a hard time making those kinds of distinctions for myself...….

[@OurWyomingLife]

Well if it makes our life easier it's a tool but if it's fun maybe it is a toy. They need a word in between. Thanks -Mike

[@3dwezzy740]

i use my brush cutter
