I use a BCS with a 13hp kohler engine which is too heavy, too juicy and the steering brakes jam on if it gets wet and sits for more than a couple of days oh did i mention i were on a marsh, i also have a grillo GF4 which flies along on a sniff of petrol all day has been abandoned in a marsh for a 5 months and still went first pull of the cord....i love my grillo oh did i mention it really light so when it sinks into a hole in your marsh you can lift it out on your own without putting your back out:thumbup:

Hi

 

I have a Grillo G85D with 9 Hp Subaru engine, it is a very good machine for what I use it for: cultivating & ploughing.

 

AFAIK BCS was created by Grillo (or perhaps BCS created Grillo?) to sell into the UK & USA, whilst Grillo is more common in mainland Europe so they have some similarities.

 

The Grillo handlebars are reversible so the PTO changes to the front for sickle cutters etc & there is quite an extensive range of attachments.

Nice soil there and did well to plough without cage wheels.

 

Oh thanks,

 

Its quite nice soil, theres a bit of clay but breaking down the more we turn it

 

The Grillo seems fine going through it usually put the difflock in on the slight uphill gradient

Picture of the Aebi with Kubota engine?

 

 

Runs a 4` flail with ease, will scoff gorse and scrub.

For a single cylinder the engine is huge
