BCS and Grillo Rear-tine Tillers
Tillers, with their horizontally-mounted shafts and vertical tilling action, are the most widespread tillage tool for small-scale farming and gardening: simple, versatile, low cost, and effective. The Grillo Company has been building rear-tine tillage equipment since the early 1950’s. Through a technology-sharing venture with BCS which lasted from roughly the late 1960’s to the early 1980’s, BCS acquired rear-tine tiller technology (the first BCS-branded tillers were produced around 1970). Both companies’ tiller implements currently feature 290 rpm tine speed (with engine at maximum rpm), hardened-steel ring and pinion gear drive and ball bearing supported shafts in an oil bath. Both units use a wedge-shaped “middlebuster” (BCS calls theirs a “Planar wedge”) which has 3 functions: 1) Depth control; 2) completely breaks out center strip of untilled soil under gearbox; 3) helps hold tractor in place in hard soils. BCS planar wedge adjusts to 4 depth positions; Grillo adjusts to 6 positions.
