This looks solid!
Fantastic JM ✨💖🌿
Hey everyone, we're here to say that the Spreader isn't meant for riding (even if you look awesome on it)! Tisk tisk, JM ... Happy Spreading! ;)
Bahaha, the lawyers called.
A riding attachment does look like a killer app.
2000!!! I'll get a broken treadmill rotating platform, build 4 walls with an opening over it and two wheels geared to the platform. the locomotive pulls the build, the wheels turn they turn the treadmill and that means compost dispensed. Less than 150 in cost.
C'mon CBS, it is not that complex, nor costy. Please stay faithful and quiet dettering people.
Sounds awesome, be sure to post a video.
@@user-rr9gh5ko1c factor in your labour costs along with materials etc etc
aswsome movie, pls do more movies with your daily working machines, even simple and very short movies with usual stuff, coz can help and give alot of wonderfull ideeas to many many farmers in the world, thank you for your movies !
That looks like it will save you a lot of time and effort in your context.
It looks like JM saves money on shirts
Hello Jean-Martin, do you still use it? Have had any issues or pro's?
thanks
Are u concerned about soil compaction??,that 2 wheel tractor seems to be out front Nd pa CV kinh the growing area rather er r h as rd, I just wonderingzcan all the wheels not be apart and in the paths??
I would be and we have purchased the wheel extensions for our BCS from Earth Tools: www.earthtools.com/tractor-implement-accessories/wheel-accessories/, different ones are available on the BCS website: www.bcsamerica.com/product/wheel-extensions. Check our new farm out: www.hopefullfarm.org/! We are just making ground in the coming weeks.
How do you get such good looking compost? My compost looks like just grass and sticks and leaves!
Give it another month. Assuming you have a lot and the right proportions of browns, greens and water, it can take some time to bake all the way down to black.
They might buy their compost. Not sure if they make it themselves?
haha! rad JM
Since its ground driven, you could pull it with a lawn tractor, and even my 42" husqvarna straddles a bed nicely. Not to knock bcs, but it would honestly be easier to use a rider.
from the website "The 65PT will have two different hitches it can be sold with, one for a lawn and garden tractor and the other for a BSC style tractor."
They should make it for front mounting, gezz! Like their power barrow attachment.
Do the wheels ever slip causing bare spots ?
No, they're ground driven. The weight of the spreader keeps the wheels in constant traction - empty or full.
I wonder how many interns are watching this, saying: "See, I told you that you needed a manure spreader JM".
...and what about his neighbor's son, the hockey player.
But how much time did it save? Won’t know if it’s worth it without knowing the amount of time saved.
Hello, I just watched the film. Excellent 👍. I am requiring everyone at Responsive Drip Irrigation to watch this film. We are going to save the world's water supply.
They should make it with a seat on top of it and higher walls to hold more. That way with wider wheels you can ride it and probably cover more beds than 1 at time. Great concept though
If I were them I'd sell these as add-ons for you to pimp your ride.
@@VanderlyndenJengold Earth tools sells a high wall add on kit that almost doubles capacity.
We do have an expansion kit available to increase the capacity:

My dreams lol
Круто конечно. Но хочется минитрактор, после 9 лет работы на мотоблоке.
Is this this still around? Is there a new version?
Nice ripped t-shirt
I presume as it's ground driven I could tow behind the lawn tractor to spread sand /grit or fertiliser on my lawns
Someone buy the poor fella a new shirt!😂
Why? That one is probably bespoke tailored with built in air conditioning. All the kids will want one! They still buy 'distressed' jeans with holes in the knee (my knee joles were my own work).
wouldn't t be great if bcs did a power unit that could straddle the bed rather than drive all over it.
Just put on some axle extensions
@@eightosaurusspelunk1598 good idea. have you ever done that? Is it a complex job?
@@teatimetraveller This video shows the Spreader with the tractor straddling a 30'' bed: ua-cam.com/video/vJW5JzilE-0/v-deo.html
@@teatimetraveller I've done to a few walk behind machines but I farm in Japan so I use larger Honda and Kubota machines primarily. There are a lot more implements than what is available for BCS machines, but I'd assume axle extensions could be had. Extensions are added to mine by simply removing the pins and set bolts holding the wheel to the machine axle and sliding on the desired axle extender and then putting the wheel onto the extender. It's basically just a solid hexagonal (or circular, depending on machine) piece of metal with holes at various increments.
Oh yeah... and be sure to use a wheel that is large enough in diameter to clear the top of the bed.
@@teatimetraveller Very simple. Remove the wheels, then install the extensions on the studs that the wheels normally mount on. Finally, reinstall the wheels on the extensions. We have four sizes: bcsamerica.com/product/wheel-extensions
We use the larger version! works great....its shown at the end of this video ua-cam.com/video/JzuypGdJI2k/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing! Where did you purchase the larger model? It looks like it is no longer available from BCS. Did you run into any issues with it?
With all due respect for the price I'd rather buy a "newer spreader" and hitch it to the drawbar. This compost spreader looks to be well built, however it's so specialized I would not be a buyer
Oh don't kid yourself, you want one
Next time you speak to Mr Stone, let him know that turning off the comments from his followers/customers is a bad idea. It pisses off his money-flow.
seems it needs free flowing compost, do not think it's really worth the money the attachment costs
Way to expensive it would take us around 6 years to pay for its self and would it still be working then dont know
The answer is NO. 100 feet and you need to refill. How far is your pile of manure? $2000! WOW. I'm thinking a wheelbarrow and a rake. pick-up truck loaded up. Can this attachment DO anything else? I can see a guy spending all day refilling this thing and wasting gas.
Thanks for the video. I'll pass on this.
Wow much be hard dealing with all your emotions
@@StayPrimal HAHHAAAHHAHAH! You crack me up. "STAY PRIMAL!" You're a joke.
isn't it too small? :)
Perfect for the 30-inch bed system :)
Would the spreader still work as designed if we were to add extended box heights either built by ourselves or provided as an option by the company?
@@1701chipper yes and some are available from Earth Tools and BCS...but it seems like home made ones are doable as well.
so no it is not....
Why the rape and tillage then to hopefully restore what was destroyed?
$2000 is too much, better buy a spreader fro a real tractor. waste of $
