  • Developed in 1942 by Italian engineer Luigi Castoldi, this two wheeled sickle bar mower tractor became the launching platform from which BCS S.p.A would carry itself to be the largest builder of two wheel tractors in Europe. Built in Milan, Italy, these tractors where sold all over the world and continue to exist today in various forms in BCS's catalogue. This unit is powered by an American built Wisconsin 10hp air cooled engine and the main drive wheels are motocross derived and the transmission is also a motorcycle designed sequential gearbox. Filmed at Pioneer Acres Museum of Irricana, Alberta.

    Nice renovation! Were they also sold in the Americas? Here in Italy in the past every farm had at least one, and they made also headers to harvest the wheat to apply in front of them. I have one like this but with a 15hp air cooled gasoline engine built by Acme in Valdobbiadene (Italy)

      Yes indeed, there is an entire American division of BCS with dealerships all over the place. They are excellent for cutting brush land out west where we need tough machines that can stand up to the difficult conditions.

      I thought I was looking at an idea that was long gone. Now I find that they are still available. On small acreage places, and on steep hillsides this would be a great tool.
