The BCS 740 is our most popular two wheel tractor and is the most versatile machine in the range with its ability to be fitted with over 25 different attachments.
Why the BCS 740 Two Wheel Tractor?
Like all BCS machines, the BCS 740 is very simple to operate and features the new BCS PowerSafe® clutch that stops both the drive and implement when you let go of the operator presence lever. It does this without stopping the engine and in our opinion this makes the BCS Two Wheel Tractor the safest machine available in the world today.
The 740 is also fitted with a locking differential and steering brakes for complete operator control, whilst large 5.00 x 10 wheels give you the traction you need whether you are on wet mud or icy pavements. The BCS 740 is the ideal machine for large smallholdings, allotment associations, contractors, councils, landscapers and estates.
The range of implements available combined with the power of the BCS 740 allow you to take on such a range of work that you will soon wonder how you managed to live without it particularly as you rotate the attachments through the seasons. Rotavate in spring, cut grass in summer, chip wood in autumn, and clear snow in the winter.
Optional implement quick coupling is available if multiple attachments are to be used.
