Does anyone have experience using a sulky with a BCS walk behind tractor? What have you used the sulky with? Can you use the sulky with the trailer? Does the BCS work well with the sulky? What are the pluses and the minuses when using a sulkey? Plus what have you done with your BCS with and without the sulkey? And how many acres are you servicing with your BCS?

I would think that using a sulkey with a BCS would be like using a sulkey with a Gravely. The only concern would be the slope on which you're operating. On a steep slope a sulkey probably wouldn't be stable.

The wagons I've seen that were designed for use with two wheeled tractors have a seat so the wagon itself effectively works as a sulkey.

When working with a sulkey, you'd have to get used to manipulating the handlebars when backing so you don't jacknife. At slow speeds that shouldn't be a problem.

Did you talk to the BCS dealer who posted previously? If you're interested in a diesel powered two wheeler, I don't think BCS has that option unless the BCS dealer can install it themselves.

I did find out that the Goldoni is still being imported. A dealer in Ohio has them in stock along with attachements. Those are 14hp diesels.

You can still get the Diesel Engine for the BCS. The engine model that I've seen used is Lombardini. I have a BCS 725 with a Lombardini engine. The dealer that I know is Joel at 502.226-5751. If you call tell him Robert sent you. My garden is small so this machine is perfect for what I need to do.
