The BCS Snow Thrower / Blower

As more snow storms move in its time to make sure that cows have a safe and clear way into the barn during calving. The ranch has recently aquired a BCS Snow Thrower and today we build it, attach it to the BCS tractor and try it out!

Join us on our journey as we leave a life in corporate america to come back to Wyoming and help on the family ranch.
Our Wyoming Life features our Wyoming ranch and our ranch family. Giving you a look into the workings of ranching from raising cattle to raising and harvesting crops. Erin will join you weekly out of the garden, showing you how she helps provide for our family through growing produce and selling at local farmers markets, and Mike will take you along as he tends to the animals and land of ranch, from calving to fencing to planting and harvesting hay.

Boy your just loving these new toys. I mean tools lol. Snowblowing is fun until the wind blows it back into you. Stay warm Mike and Erin and have a good day.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Oh i got dusted a few times, I think it just goes with the territory. Thanks - Mike

[@nmelkhunter1]

BCS makes great equipment. Their products are as handy as a pocket on a shirt and very reliable too.

[@Masseyman-nv2kl]

I remember my grandad and great uncle talking about how they had to take in cows and calfs from outside into the barn yard as the snow was pilling around 15 feet tall in places. Back in 1969. Great video Mike

[@leol1682]

Thanks Mike for the video on the snow blower .

That BCS system is pretty darn trick. Snow is one of those complications I'm glad I don't have to deal with down here. Thanks for the videos Mike.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Sandy - Mike

[@Ranch_Hand_Jeff]

I wish I had had one of those in my Pennsylvania days. I had to use a shovel. I was younger then, of course. Stay warm my friend.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I agree, lots of shovel time here :) - Mike

[@ivanguy62]

Great buy and a good choice. I love my BCS too.

[@OurWyomingLife]

[@snapstring3134]

Neat little implement

A while back I wanted one of these 'mule-tractors' but they were not available. Glad to see they are now.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yes they are nice, thanks - Mike

[@johnwatters3502]

Snowblowers are awesome they save the back so much. I have a older toro snowblower that just keeps on going. I love that little thing. Videos are great.

[@PlasticContainerCity]

Wow. This is fascinating. Thank you for the research. I never realized how much a great blizzard affected the demise of the wild west

Cool video! I like that new snow blower

[@brycebalcik4014]

That works really well for a single stage blower!

[@OurWyomingLife]

It does, really surprised me :) - Mike

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again! Spiffy rig Mike! So much easier on you and safer for the critters. Satisfying to be ahead of the snow and potential problems huh!?! Looking forward to Erin time! Keep safe and warm out there! Thx as always Mike...

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you very much! - Mike

[@ICOWBOYIM]

Hi Mike, That BCS looks awesome! I always wanted one too. FYI, I have a gineric wind cab on my snowblower that is REALLY REALLY nice! This year I put a 12v caution strobe light on top of the cab so I don't get hit by traffic when I'm blowing out the mail boxes on the county road. I've had some close calls in the past. Happy trails, 🤠

[@memyselfandifarmer]

just replaced a deicer for the chickens, this is what i like, api-dts15. 1500 watt, sinking deicer.. just ordered another on amazon.

That little thing is a go getter

[@OurWyomingLife]

That it is :) - Mike

[@paulthomas2236]

Good show mike looks cold lol

[@sherischneider2672]

Nice little rig. It looks great for small areas. You might want to consider adding a hydraulic cylinder kit or orbital motor to hydraulically control the spout on the big red snowblower. A lot of people will also mount a snowblower on the skid steer. You can rent one to try out that option in some areas of the country and many people have converted an older mid sized unit for skid steer use.

[@titanpreston-winder8245]

I love our videos

[@CashisKingtrucking]

Interesting machine

Keep the MiL happy, go do her driveway.

more snow coming tonight here also . not looking forward to it . That bcs is a great little machine just be careful not to kink any of the control cables. Take care and we'll try to watch on Thursday.

[@BPratto]

It's going to be interesting to see when the wet snow hit in just a few weeks. Shovel vs BCS :)

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yes it is, thanks James - Mike

[@rodneywroten2994]

man I would really love to have a machine like that

[@OurWyomingLife]

Its a beast. thank you Rodney - Mike

They are much more affordable than new full sized tractors, but hard to find used.

[@bsfoutdoors8381]

Dad would love to have one. For there ability to change out parts

[@eddeetz493]

That BCS is a task master. I'm sure you've sold a number of units for them. You should send there marketing department a few action uploads and at least get some attachments you havent already purchased. Stay warm up there.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Ed, good idea - Mike

[@fionajane56]

We looked at snow blowers when we bought our Grillo two wheel tractor but cannot justify it here. Not enough snow. The two wheel tractor ‘s are a solid investment. So many options with attachments. It was really throwing that snow👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Could you use it to spread mulch/manure in the high tunnels?

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thats funny, I was thinking the same thing. I dont know :) - Mike

[@davidb.beasley7359]

You have problems with snow. We, in Lauderdale County Ala., are flooded. I wish I could send you rainfall!

[@truckdriver8637]

The BCS looks like a very useful piece of equipment, I am looking into getting one.

[@OurWyomingLife]

They are nice Thanks - Mike

[@brentderksen]

"I'm going the head out, no I'm not" Haha, coffee coffee!

[@jayjdietrich]

I have a feeling you may learn that being too honest can hurt you! Great, funny episode, Mike. Hang in there, buddy! :)

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Jay - Mike

[@rrobertomondo5173]

Nice machine, looks like it'll do the job. Wonder if you can get a cab attachment for it, sure keeps you from looking like frosty the snowman on a windy day.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thats a good questions, I have seen those cabs for snowblowers before, kind of like little bags. Thanks - Mike

[@mattphillips4260]

was wandering if this would be a good add on to your bcs hope it works for you as well as it looks like it will be safe out there in them cold temps everyone

[@OurWyomingLife]

For sure, thanks Matt - Mike

[@I_Itch]

Frozen cow pies oh my!! Zing... Clunck...ouch..

[@BlueCactusDerek]

We had 3 inches this morning near Tucson az. So I shoveled our 3 birthing stalls because were expecting our goats to start kidding any minute

[@OurWyomingLife]

Oh yea, that snow would have been a shock. Thanks - Mike

[@DeniseSkidmore]

Be sure to get the model with steering brakes, and the extra large tires are another option I wish I'd sprung for. (We have the BCS 732, and wish we'd gotten a bigger model.) We have the same attachment, it is a beast and the only unscheduled work it has needed in five years is cleaning and shear pins. That said, now that we have a compact tractor with a bucket (and more importantly a seat and a steering wheel), snow removal is even less of a chore.

[@swamprat69er]

When blowing snow without a cab, embrace the wind.

[@OurWyomingLife]

For sure! Thanks - Mike

[@BillTheTractorMan]

I like that you tease at not spoiling your mom inlaw! I caught on and got a good laugh. That attachment point on the tractor looks kind of... light duty. I'm concerned any twisting or side loading of an implement would easily damage it. Maybe it attaches at more than one point? Thanks for sharing!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thats the only point, its actually quite hefty. Just that coupler weighs about 10 pounds. Thanks Bill - Mike

[@BillTheTractorMan]

@@OurWyomingLife Neat, that should do than! I'm slightly interested in the BCS tractor myself. I like the snowblower and tiller. I would be able to retired my antiques from service. However I'm not sure that I would ever really retire them.

[@LoveNIsrael]

I got a same implement this year. I found it leaves 1"-2" of snow on the ground after plowing all the time no matter how hard I lifted the handles up to let the implement stay contact with the ground. My tractor is 739. Wonder if I could add some weight on top of the thrower. I just had a foot of snow on my 1000'+ driveway, and it's taking me 9 hour to just remove top half of snow. Luckily a neighbor drove his ATV with blade to push most of the snow for me.

[@garygoodman5228]

BCS 852 /snow blower, stainless steel spout. 36” snow here in Cheyenne with wind. Going to take the BCS and the solar shovel a while to clear things up. Do you lock the differential for snow blowing? Traction is a bit of an issue with deep snow.

[@RobRobBob]

Curious if you have problems with the governor in the snow. I have the same blower attachment and it's been a real nuisance in the winter, keeps freezing up.

[@weeniedogwrangler7096]

Don't you just love when all that powder blows back in your face?

[@OurWyomingLife]

Well running the BCS will make you sweat, so it was kind of nice :) - Mike

[@John101B]

Do you think this combo is something you can use on a 500ft driveway with a bit of a incline? How's the durability of BCS in cold weather? Not sure if it is built to use it under cold temperature & snow spray all over it... Thank you! :)

Seriously it's hereditary and it anybody makes fum of it just tell them....."hey, I've got a BCS with all 246 different attachments ...what have you've got"? Seriously you mentioned calving season brings to mind this question: Have you had to deal with breached births in the past?

Haha. Thanks Yes a few times. It usually doesn't end well for the cow. I have lost a couple and had to sell a couple cows due to the damage it causes. Other times it's worked out fine. -Mike

i earnd quite good money with an old 8 hp snowblower when i went to college. that i bought from an old houseowner that got to old to use it for 50 dollar. after school on days that it snowd, and in weekends i cleared driveways in the neighbourhood and didnt have a set price but most people payd so i felt i got a desent pay.. ore they say offerd me dinner. cakes and such, also becouse they was very happy to drive their cars in to their driveways after work without shuffling themself.. i rented a room for college 100 mile from my home village. hehe i had a thick overall of the type say snowmobilers use in the arctic and a fullcover motorcycle helmet, since i had a 50 ccm scooter i used if i wanted to visit my parents a weekend.. its cold to sit on a scooter in say -18 c below freezing for 2-3 hours. hehe
