Model 722

The BCS Harvester 718 is similar to the 722, with the main differences being engine and wheel size.  Powered by a Honda GX200 engine, the 718 features two working speeds in both directions and a third transport speed in rear-mount “tiller” mode.  This gives the operator more options and power over model 710, while still popular as an economical choice among small-garden enthusiasts.

The 718 is equipped to handle garden plots and smaller mowing applications, but is limited in power for larger activities.

You’ll notice the 710’s handlebars differ from other BCS models.  A simpler BCS design is utilized to adjust the handlebars, which lacks anti-vibration and the ease of adjustment found on larger BCS models.  It may not have all the bells and whistles that larger BCS models can claim, but its all-gear driven transmission, automotive-style clutch and versatile attachment options make it far superior to competitive tiller brands.

Another difference in the 710 from other BCS models is the Subaru SP170 engine (5.5 HP).  Subaru has established itself as a more-than-suitable alternative to Honda small engines, and comes with a standard 3-year warranty.

The BCS 853 combines the best of both worlds: a third working speed AND a fourth transport speed for even more versatility. Now, owners can utilize the benefits of all BCS implements due to its sufficient horsepower, while also having the option of riding transport attachments like the utility trailer.

The difference between the 852 and 853 is simple: the transport speed can only be applied in rear-mount mode (tiller) on the 853; the transport speed is only available in front-mount (mower) mode on the 852. These are the only BCS tractors offering a transport speed and a third working speed.

In addition to the Differential Drive with Lockout being standard on all BCS Professional Series models, the 853 also features individual wheel brakes for increased maneuverability—especially helpful when making frequent turns.

The 853 comes with a Honda GX390 engine with recoil and electric start options.
