My 853 BCS has literally transformed and elevated the way I approach farming on our food insecure island of Kauai. As a young, beginner female farmer, living on the most isolated, populated land mass in the world - the BCS has become this girl's best friend! Our regenerative farm offers hands-on, educational work days that are open to our community to gather, learn and grow. A majority of our volunteers are local women and men, who are interested but a little intimidated to operate a machine of this nature. However, due to the smart, safe and user-friendly design of the BCS and attachments, they have all shared how shockingly easy it is to use and how much more useful and skillful they feel after using the BCS! As we take on the challenge of regenerating our depleted Hawaiian soils, while simultaneously working to help build and feed our community- I feel incredibly empowered by my BCS and I am blessed to also have the rotary plow attachment to make my permanent, minimal-till beds. Next on this small farmers list?! A dreamy flail mower attachment to add in our cover crops like a boss!

I absolutely love my 749 BCS tractor.  I own the 30” Tiller, Ridger 2 [Power Ridger], Rotary Plow, and a 24” Flail Mower.  I grow and sell super hot peppers.  The [Power] Ridger works great making raised beds for well drained pepper plants.  It’s a well-built, fine machine that’ll last a lifetime.

I love my BCS 853! Believe it or not, it does the little jobs better than my Kioti RX7320 can. It's all about the right tool for the job. A big machine and a small machine both have their place, and together, they compliment each other very well! Love these machines!

This picture is a great highlight to the differences. The 7ft boxblade and loader bucket are great for grading and dirt road maintenance, heavy weight jobs with forks and backhoe, but the BCS is great for delicate garden work in soft ground, or one row at a time, or shredding blackberries and shrubs with the Flail in very wet soggy ground, and building rows and tilling mid season without compaction or disturbing the next row.

At Seed Savers, we're always thinking about how our farming affects soil health and the overall environment; the BCS allows us to till only the space we need and adjust the tiller depth so we aren't destroying the entire soil structure. They're lightweight and nimble and help us grow high quality seed here at Heritage Farm!
