This page advertises limited-time specials from Earth Tools, as well as serving as a listing of used equipment our customers and ourselves have available. This bulletin board gets updated roughly once a week, so check in occasionally to find a deal. Thank you for visiting and keep checking back!
Time to clean out the warehouse! We accumulate an assortment of used and “demo” equipment over time, and they need to find new homes. A 90 day parts and labor warranty is included unless otherwise stated. NOTE: NO INTERNATIONAL (Including Canadian) SALES OF USED EQUIPMENT!! Customs laws prohibit USED agricultural equipment from crossing International borders, unless a “Certificate of Fumigation” can be provided – and we don’t have any way to Fumigate equipment. Here is the used equipment we have available:
BCS 720 with Honda engine & 26” tiller: $1800
This is actually a “consignment” sale, but the equipment is here at our location…so we are listing it in this section. Equipped with a Honda GX240 (8hp) engine and a 26” tiller, this machine is ready to go. New tines on the tiller. (Same features as the current model 722…this is the model that was replaced by the 722 in 2004. The main difference is the handlebar style.)
Available for local pickup at Earth Tools in Owenton, KY, or can ship by Motor Freight (buyer pays shipping charges).

Berta 28” 2-Stage Snowblower to fit BCS– $1800

BCS 745 with NEW 14hp Kohler engine and 33” Super-duty Tiller- $4000
(This is also shown in the “for sale by owner” section, since we do not actually own it…it is a consignment sale, but it is at our location in KY, so we thought we’d list it here as well) This is roughly a 1990 model BCS 745, and we have installed a brand-new Kohler CH440 14hp recoil start engine on it. It is equipped with 6.5x12x23” wheels, and it features 5 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds (in “tilling” mode…this translates to 2 speeds forward and reverse for “mowing” applications), and also has a lockable differential and independent steering brakes. This is the direct predecessor of the current BCS 750, so it is the brawniest unit BCS offers, and it has the heavier 3-stud PTO mount to be able to handle heavy implements like the Reciprocating Spader and the 170-pound 33” Super-Duty Tiller that is on this thing. This unit has the older “Combo spline/flat-3-jaw” PTO…new BCS brand implements can be fitted to it using a PTO adapter, OR some new Grillo implements will fit directly on it, since they use the “spline” PTO…or, if you are interested in implements made by independent implement manufacturers (like our Berta Rotary Plow or Flail Mower, or the R2 Rinaldi Power Harrows), we offer PTO flanges on those implements that fit to the 745 directly. We have gone over the tractor thoroughly and replaced anything it needed. Has a brand-new engine bumper with 50 lb. weight kit on it to counter-balance the weight of the Super-Duty tiller. (this weight may have to removed when using lighter implements) It takes roughly the same implement selection as the current BCS 750.
Currently located at Earth Tools in Owenton, KY, and available for local pick up there. OR can ship via motor freight at buyers expense.

18” Tiller to fit BCS 200 series tractors – $300
This ONLY fits the BCS models 201 and 205…there is NO adapter to mount it to any other BCS model. New tines and oil seals. NOTE: The “Spring-clips” that hold the implement to tractor can be supplied as “short” (for pre-1987 models) or “long” (for post-1987 models)…ask an Earth Tools salesperson for help identifying which type you have.
Available for local pickup at Earth Tools in Owenton, KY, or will ship via parcel carrier (buyer pays shipping charges).

22” Lawn mower to fit BCS 200 series tractors – $150
This was originally sold with a removable 1-bushel bagger, but the bagger is missing from this one (and a new bagger is over $300!!)…so we are just selling it as a side-discharge mower. This ONLY fits the BCS models 203, 204 and 205…there is NO adapter to mount it to any other BCS model. NOTE: The “Spring-clips” that hold the implement to tractor can be supplied as “short” (for pre-1987 models) or “long” (for post-1987 models)…ask an Earth Tools salesperson for help identifying which type you have.
Available for local pickup at Earth Tools in Owenton, KY, or will ship disassembled via parcel carrier (buyer pays shipping charges).

BCS 725 with 20” Tiller and furrower- $1350 OBO (UT)
This is around a 1982 model BCS 725. The original Italian ACME engine has been replaced with a GX240 8hp Honda engine, which only has about 10 hours of run time on it. Has 4x8x16” wheels, and 20” tiller. Also has the hiller/Furrower accessory to go behind the tiller. All in good working condition.
Local pick up in Cedar City, UT, or can ship via motor freight at buyers expense. NOTE: Seller may deliver, depending on buyers location.

BCS 204 with 30” sickle bar mower FOR PARTS - $400 (NY)
This machine has the older BCS-brand 5hp engine, which needs work on the ignition system, and the parts are so expensive that the current owner does not want to mess with it. However, the 30” sickle bar implement will fit the BCS 203 and 205 models, and many of the engine and transmission parts will fit the earlier model 205 machines. SO – if you have an older 204 or 205 with the BCS 5hp engine, this would be a GREAT “parts” machine.

Caravaggi 40” Power Sweeper to fit Grillo - PRICE REDUCED: $950 OBO (PA)
Only used a few times…fewer than 5 hours on it. Equipped with a “male” quick-coupling to fit G85 / G85d / G107 Grillo tractors, or the quick-coupling can be changed to a G110 type “male” (available from Earth Tools). CAN be adapted to fit BCS tractors, but this will take some work…basically, the gearbox would have to be “flipped over” to accommodate the opposite PTO rotation of the BCS (call for instructions on this!)– plus, you would need a PTO adapter.

28” Snow blower to fit Grillo - PRICE REDUCED! (MN)
This implement is over 10 years old, but has seen very little use. The current owner does not need it any monger, so it is for sale! 28” Rescia Giuliano brand single-stage snowblower will fit a Grillo G85d, G107 or G110 walk-behind tractor. If your Grillo tractor is equipped with a quick-coupling PTO system, a “male” quick coupling can be added. NOTE: This the snowblower CAN NOT be adapted to a BCS walking tractor!.

SEP/Mainline 28” Snow Blower (OH) - $375
This 28” snowblower has hardly been used at all. Fits SEP / Mainline “Mountaineer” models –requires clockwise tractor PTO direction (looking at tractor PTO) when tractor is in Front-PTO mode. (This should be the 1500 Mountaineer [rather than the 1300], but as we are not an SEP dealer, I would rather not claim it for sure…any interested parties can just look at their tractor PTO rotation for verification.) At this time, we do NOT have adapters available to adapt this snowblower to any other tractor. Unit is located in Elyria, OH.

WANTED: USED/JUNK SEP (MAINLINE) LADYBUG OR 2+2
This fellow has an old Mainline (produced by SEP of Italy) Ladybug machine, and is looking for a machine to buy for a “parts” tractor, being that parts are getting hard to come by on the SEP units. The most important thing would be the actual rototiller implement, as his tractor does not have one (he has a mower only) SO: if someone out there has an old Ladybug (or 2+2, which is about the same) unit with a blown engine, this fellow might take it off your hands.
