Grillo and BCS have worked together in the past, but they currently operate as competitors… Earth Tools has chosen to represent both the BCS and Grillo brand walk-behind tractors, in order to give our customers a more complete tractor selection.Įarth Tools Inc, located near the population center of the U.S. Grillo, from Cesena, Italy, has also been manufacturing walk-behind tractors for over 60 years. Founded in 1942 near Milan, Italy, BCS sells their equipment in 80 countries and has over 500 dealers in North America. Of the 30 or so companies manufacturing 2-wheel tractors in Europe, BCS is by far the largest. Market such as DR® and Troy-Bilt®, European 2-wheel tractors are built to standards of quality and durability expected of agricultural equipment…Just like a 4-wheel farm tractor, these rugged two-wheel machines are designed to give thousands of hours of service life with their All-Gear Drive and Automotive-style clutch. Unlike the psuedo-professional equipment of the same physical size produced for the U.S. Walk-behind tractors are used worldwide for small-scale agricultural, horticultural, industrial, landscaping and home use. Your source for Small Farming Equipment & Tools WHAT A WALK-BEHIND TRACTOR IS:Ī Walk-behind tractor (also called walking tractor, two-wheel tractor or hand tractor) is essentially a single-axle / 2 wheeled version of a 4-wheel farm tractor, capable of operating many different implements with a single power source. (Since there were still lots of “blue” BCS tractors and implements in the supply-chain “pipeline”, someīlue equipment will still be supplied in the coming months.) Hence, black BCS tractors started appearing in the USA in earlyĢ018. Painting all the tractors and implements “neutral” colors and just letting the plastic shrouds and decalsĭelineate what brand tractor it would be. Green for Ferrari, and Yellow for Pasquali)…but sometime in 2017, they decided to optimize efficiency by Historically, they had different paint-lines for each tractor and implement line (Blue for BCS, "blue" parts are now the plastic “beauty” shrouds for theīecause the BCS factory in Italy produces 3 brands of walk-behind tractors on the same assembly line: BCS,įerrari, and Pasquali (BCS purchased these other 2 companies in the 1990s…and no, this is NOT the automotive Tractors are just painted BLACK, and the BCS-branded implements are painted IF YOU WAIT UNTIL GARDENING SEASON TO ORDER EQUIPMENT, YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY **NOT** GET IT FOR THAT GARDENING SEASON.īeginning in late 2017, the BCS factory started a new “paint scheme” for their tractors and implements: The
THE MAIN TAKEAWAY IS: BE PREPARED TO WAIT 3 TO 6 MONTHS TO GET EQUIPMENT. ORDERS ARE SHIPPED ON A FIRST-FULLY-PAID, FIRST-SHIPPED BASIS. We appreciate your business and your patience, and we’re working as hard as we can to get orders out as fast as possible, WITHOUT cutting corners on the proper equipment setup, prep & checkout that we are famous for. However, wait times for equipment are GREATLY increased due to the slowdowns in manufacturing and shipping! There is nothing WE can do about this.we currently have over TWO MILLION DOLLARS worth of goods on order from our suppliers, and we can do nothing but wait. This higher demand, coupled with the fact that most our equipment manufacturers "used up" the reserves they had of goods & raw materials LAST year (PLUS had to deal with mandatory shutdowns due to Covid) means that the supply chain for most of the goods we offer has suffered greatly.increased demand + reduced supply is a BAD combination!! While some companies take advantage of a situation like this with "price gouging", we will still continue to offer the same discounted prices on equipment as we always have. Due to the COVID-19 (Corona virus) global pandemic for the past 2 years, we are experiencing a MUCH higher demand for small farming/gardening equipment than usual.
