You have given a fantastic explanation. If I were going to buy a new machine, this would be it. I have a Troy-Bilt Pony and two Graham Paige-Frazer rototillers. Thanks
So I've been watching quite a few of your videos... and I have to say you are pretty freakin' amazing sir.... thank you for sharing your knowledge. Now I have to save up so I can buy one of your awesome walking tractors and a couple of implements... (I do hope you ship to California). I'm really liking that Grillo G110 paired with a Berta rotary plow and a dozer/scraper blade... and eventually I'll get a power harrow, a bed shaper and 4' plastic mulch layer. I'm having a hard time choosing between the Grillo G110 and the BCS 853 tractors and I still can't decide about the 13hp gas Honda or the 11hp Kohler diesel...
quite similar in various way's to gravely tractor's---which I operated vsince 1958---many thing's were added later---such as quick attach for imolement's-I did have a pto shut off on the handle bar---earlier you would have a small lever down at the attachment point--idea's keep coming along--some very simple as such
The Gravelys were tough, I'll give them that...but since I'm assuming you've never run a "modern" walk-behind tractor, I would not be so quick to dismiss the merits of these newer machines. I have sold DOZENS of BCS and Grillo walking tractors to replace old Gravelys, and folks generally LOVE the improvements in handling, ergonomics, implement changing...not to mention that any Gravely is a DINOSAUR...you can't get parts for 'em!!
Joel: I love my diesel 853. Absolutely no problems in 2 years with only normal maintenance. I also have a Honda Gas powered 852 and there is NO comparison on the pulling power of these two machines. I would love it if you could post a video of starting this Kohler Diesel with the recoil starter. I have been unable to do this even with the engine warm. I'd like to have this option in case anything ever happens to my starter system. I must be missing something, I read the manual and did what it says and no luck.
That model diesel has an automatic internal compression-release system, but even with that, the diesels are just a bugger to pull, because of the overall engine mass and compression. Some folks just can't do it, so don't feel bad!
I didn’t know Mike Rowe was selling BCS. It must be a dirty job.
Just took delivery of my 853 diesel last week. Nice machine, a lot of low end torque. Will make manitaining my land a lot easier.
Love the sound of that diesel.
LOVE THE SMELL OF DIESEL IN THE MORNING!!!
If it had 3 more levers it would be perfect.
This man knows his machines.

We ship everywhere!! Thanks.
Is there an advantage to diesel?
I have been looking for an 852 or 853 diesel for over a year now!!!! Do you still have any?
I have a question...
Which model best do farming with 5 acres: planting 🌽 and tilling weeds?

Great instructions, better than BCS' Videos. Thank you!
Thanks, Joel.
How do you top up oil, if you overfill how do you empty.
Do you ship to Uganda (Africa)?
How long does it take to get it?
Which dealer is a better deal?
Do they offer those tires that don't require air or a dual tire setup?
Thanks Joel. Another really useful video.
je suis à la recherche de ce modèle BCS853 GX390
What is the difference between diesel and gas?
Very useful video. Thanks
I'd buy one from you as you know your product !!
Great presentation 👍. Thank you
How much is that Machine
Thanks
Old Gravely L models would eat that thing and spit it back out.

Does it have a littler decompression lever?
