Ripping Compacted Soil with the Subsoiler Attachment for BCS Two-Wheel Tractors

The Subsoiler (also known as a Ripper or Flat Liner) is intended to loosen or break up soil beneath the surface without turning the soil over. Thanks to Zephyr Farm in Gales Creek, OR for letting us come out to film!

rotary plow. please!

[@damanifesto]

I don't have great soil, but that soil looks terrible. Where is that?

[@BCSAmerica]

It was heavily compacted for years. Then compacted even more by heavy machinery when the greenhouse was built. That's why we needed to break it up! Location is in Gales Creek, OR.

[@Sparkeee1978]

Looks like a lot of clay. Probably needs a lot more organics

[@kovacsleonard7188]

how deep it going in centimeters or inches ? thank’s

[@BCSAmerica]

Engages up to 11'' of depth

[@peter.s-yt]

Great content! Are wheel weights necessary? Do you guys have a review and demo on malbourd plough with the proper adjustments?

[@BCSAmerica]

Wheel weights are going to be required in most cases. Two-wheel tractors are lightweight machines!

BCS America ~ I'm very interested in your tractors and attachments. I commend you on your responses! Your videos from Oregon blow me away as I grew up in Troutdale/Gresham area in the 60's and 70's. Usually a product like yours is sold 3000 miles away! ;-) I've got 3 acres of rough. Can you talk a little bit about the 750 vs the 779? Specifically, the output shaft. To me, it's the weak point of the setup but BCS has 600 dealers???? Something must be working right? ;-) There's a 3 bolt pattern for the 750, I believe, but a two bolt pattern for the 779. I'm leaning towards the 779 because of the hydrostatic. The 2 bolt pattern is a turn-off. What say you?

[@BCSAmerica]

We actually have around 850 dealers at last count! The three-bolt connection point at the PTO on model 750 is only used for very heavy attachments (33'' HD Tiller, Swivel Rotary Plow, 35" Flail Mower, 38" Lawn Mower, and both sizes of Two-Stage Snow Blowers) - most attachments only have two-bolts. We don't have a comparison guide between the 750 and 779, but we do have one for the 749/779 and the 749/750.

[@Navigator777777]

@@BCSAmerica Thanks for the response! The attachments I'm interested in are the flail , the tiller, the rotary plow and the two stage blower. Would I be making a mistake purchasing the 779 over the 750?

[@BCSAmerica]

​@@Navigator777777 The ideal customer for Model 750 is a commercial tilling operation. Along with it's compatibility with the 33" Tiller, it also features gear-reduction mechanisms in the transmission that reduce the ground speed. This allows the tiller tines to take more passes through the soil per-forward-foot-of-travel. The top speed of Model 750 is 2.1 MPH. That's a fairly slow speed for extensive mowing or snow-clearing jobs. Model 779 has two speed ranges, high and low, and the top speed in the high range is 4.0 MPH. That is a much more comfortable pace for mowing or blowing snow on flat surfaces. The hydrostatic transmission also allows for instant changes in speed and direction (fwd/rvrs) without shifting or squeezing the clutch - a very handy feature for mowing jobs that require changing directions often.

[@Navigator777777]

@@BCSAmerica I'm very keen on the two stage blower. So the 779 can handle the snowblower?? I can go with a smaller tiller but the flail will be the implement I use the most...I think. Speed is a big deal too! Thanks for this exchange! If the 779 can handle the 33" snowblower I think I've found the right tractor.

[@BCSAmerica]

@@Navigator777777 The 779 will have no problem with the 33" snowblower. Models 750 & 779 have the exact same engine - the Honda GX390. The difference is in the transmission and gearing, not in horsepower.

[@user-tm1ec2on6w]

So it’s a chisel plow.

[@BCSAmerica]

That's another name for it, yes.

[@shashikantshelar9191]

Why Back side push

[@BCSAmerica]

Not sure we understand your question. This is a drag implement - the tractor is pulling it through the ground.

[@shashikantshelar9191]

Ok

[@flyhigh5056]

The operator was having to push to help the implement. Lots of work. @@BCSAmerica

[@BCSAmerica]

@@flyhigh5056 This was extremely compacted soil - the tractor did need a bit of help here and there. For jobs this tough, a set of dual wheels would have been a big help.
