Walk-behind tractors (also called walking, 2-wheel or hand tractors) are used worldwide for small-scale farm, horticultural, industrial, landscaping and home use. Unlike the psuedo-professional equipment of the same physical size produced for the U.S. Market such as the DR? and Troy-Bilt?, European two-wheel tractors are built to standards of quality and durability expected of agricultural equipment. Like a 4-wheel farm tractor, these rugged two-wheel machines are designed to run many attachments with a single power source and give thousands of hours of service. Of the 30 or so companies manufacturing 2-wheel tractors in Europe, BCS is by far the largest. Based in Milan, Italy, BCS has been selling their equipment for over 50 years in 80 countries and has over 500 dealers in North America.?Grillo S.p.A. in Italy has also been manufacturing walk-behind tractors for close to 50 years and actually had a partnership with BCS for several years.?BCS, which started out in 1942 building only walk-behind sickle bar mowers, got their tiller technology from Grillo. Grillo started building walk-behind tillers in 1953 and got their sickle bar technology from BCS...the end result was both companies offering multi-purpose walk-behind tractors.?This technology-sharing venture between BCS and Grillo lasted from approximately the late 1960s to the early 1980s, during which time BCS actually private-labeled a couple Grillo machines (GN12 and G131) and offered them the as old BCS 705 and 755.
