BCS 740 Two Wheel Tractor
Over 25 Different Attachments Available
The BCS 740 isn’t just our most popular two-wheel tractor; it’s also one of the most versatile, capable of being paired with over 25 different attachments for all-season use. You can opt for petrol or diesel power, and there’s brake-type steering and a locking differential for the ultimate in operator control.

Description
Combining serious power with compact dimensions and impressive versatility, the commercial-duty BCS 740 Two-Wheel Tractor is aimed squarely at allotment associations, landscape contractors, local authorities and country estates.
With the BCS 740 Two-Wheel Tractor, you get to choose the power source, be it the quiet, low-NOx, Honda GX390 petrol engine, or the ‘torquey’, fuel-efficient, Yanmar L100V diesel engine. Both units are available with either recoil or electric start.
Different implements, terrains and job-types require different ground speeds, so the BCS 740 Two-Wheel Tractor has been equipped with three forward gears and three reverse gears – there’s a suitable option for every situation.
A locking differential ensures successful operation whether you’re in a muddy field or on an icy pavement; brake-based steering – much like on tracked machines – confers the very best in manoeuvrability.
Making the BCS 740 Two-Wheel Tractor standout from its competitors is BCS’s unique, PowerSafe® clutch, which uses hydraulic power to achieve maximum torque upon engagement, and to ensure the wheels and power take-off are brought to an immediate stop the moment the OPC lever is released.
A rugged, all-gear, no-belt transmission ensures super-efficient power transfer with reduced maintenance and exceptional long-term reliability; a three-claw PTO attachment mechanism – the toughest in the business – means your implement of choice is locked into position in ultra-solid fashion.
Other desirable features include substantial, 254mm-diameter, agricultural-pattern pneumatic tyres, which enable a smooth run over rough ground; and a parking brake, which keeps the tractor firmly – and safely – in position when not in use.

Features
Patented Hydraulic Clutch
The patented Powersafe clutch offers unrivalled levels of performance and reliability. The disc inside the clutch are forced together using hydraulic power to provide instant torque and efficient transfer of power. Importantly this also means that the wheels and working implement stop very quickly when the operator presence lever is released.

3 Forward & Reverse Speeds
The BCS 740 can be operated in forward and reverse when the handlebars are positioned either over the engine or over the implement. A useful feature is that the working speed of the machine is faster when operating grass cutting implements, allowing the user to cover and cut more ground.
Strong PTO Drive
The BCS range of two wheel tractors use a 3 pin claw system to transfer the power from the engine to the working implement. This system is extremely strong and ensures that the power unit has an extremely long lifetime.
Top of the Range Engines
The BCS 740 offers best in class options for both petrol and diesel engines. There is an electric start version for both engine types and our experience of using both engines over many years is that they both offer unmatched performance and reliability.
Powerful Gear Drive
One of the main reasons that BCS two wheel tractors is the all gear drive system that efficiently transfer the power from the engine to the wheels and power take off. Fully hardened, the gears are extremely durable and last for many years.
