BCS Adjustable Ridger Attachment

Shape Soil With Confidence: The BCS Adjustable Ridger Attachment

The BCS Adjustable Ridger Attachment is designed to make shaping, forming, and maintaining furrows effortless and consistent. Whether you’re preparing vegetable beds, earthing up potatoes, or creating neat, uniform ridges across your allotment or smallholding, this practical non-powered implement delivers clean results with very little fuss. Built to partner perfectly with compatible BCS power units, it’s an essential tool for anyone looking to improve soil structure and planting efficiency in previously cultivated ground.

Effortless Ridge and Furrow Formation

At the core of the ridger’s smart design is its “V”-shaped body, which penetrates and breaks the soil surface ahead of the mouldboards. As the ridger is pulled through the ground, the soil is guided outward and upward by two adjustable mouldboards, forming a clean, well-shaped furrow behind you. The hinged mouldboards can be positioned as needed, allowing you to adapt the furrow width to your crop spacing, soil conditions, or growing system.

This single-pass shaping action makes the ridger ideal for:

• Earthing up potatoes and root crops
• Creating seedbeds for beans, peas, and similar rows
• Forming drainage channels
• Preparing raised rows for improved aeration and water distribution

With its simple, reliable structure, the ridger turns soil shaping into an easy, repeatable task.

Fully Adjustable Width for Different Crops

The BCS Adjustable Ridger offers a flexible furrow width from 10 cm (3″) to 38.5 cm (15″), giving you the freedom to work to your preferred spacing. Narrow settings are ideal for tightly planted rows or young crops requiring light earthing up, while the wider settings help form broad, generous ridges for larger planting systems or heavily cultivated vegetable beds.

This adaptability makes it an excellent all-round tool for growers working with a variety of crops throughout the year.

Designed for Specific BCS Power Units

The Adjustable Ridger is designed exclusively for the BCS 728, 738, 740, and 780HY power units. It fits via a toolbar and relies on the power unit’s traction to pull it steadily through the soil. Because the implement runs in contact with the earth, some natural drag is created. For this reason, the use of optional spade lug wheels, wheel weights, or both is recommended—especially in softer, looser, or recently tilled ground where maximum grip is needed.

To mount the attachment, the BCS Blank Coupling (for non-powered implements) is required.

Simple, Robust, and Made for Soil Work

One of the standout qualities of the BCS Adjustable Ridger is its simplicity. With no PTO drive, belts, or mechanical complexity, it is extremely low-maintenance yet highly effective. The strong central body cuts cleanly into the soil, while the heavy-duty mouldboards push earth to the sides with minimal resistance. It’s a tool built to thrive in soil-intensive environments where durability and straightforward performance matter.

Its robust construction ensures it can handle the demands of frequent ridge formation, even in heavier soils or larger cultivated plots.

Ideal for Allotments, Smallholdings, and Market Gardens

Whether you’re revitalising established vegetable beds, creating structured planting rows, or shaping furrows for irrigation, the BCS Adjustable Ridger provides a neat, professional finish that improves planting accuracy and soil organisation. Its adjustable design makes it extremely versatile for growers who switch between crops, row widths, or cultivation styles throughout the season.

Reliable Soil Shaping Made Simple

The BCS Adjustable Ridger Attachment combines straightforward engineering with flexible performance to give you clean, consistent ridges and furrows with minimal effort. With adjustable mouldboards, a durable V-shaped body, and customisable working width, it turns essential soil-shaping tasks into smooth, efficient passes—perfect for gardeners, allotment growers, and small-scale agricultural users.

Pair it with your compatible BCS power unit and the required BCS Blank Coupling to experience just how easy and effective ridge-making can be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q) What does the BCS Adjustable Ridger do?

The ridger creates neat ridges and furrows in previously cultivated soil using its V-shaped body and two adjustable mouldboards. It’s ideal for earthing up potatoes and shaping raised rows for a wide range of crops.

Q) Which BCS power units is it compatible with?

This ridger is designed specifically for the BCS 728, 738, 740, and 780HY power units. It will not fit other BCS models.

Q) What width furrows can it create?

You can adjust the mouldboards to create furrows anywhere from 10 cm (3″) to 38.5 cm (15″) wide, allowing you to tailor ridge size to different crops and planting layouts.

Q) Do I need any additional parts to fit the ridger?

Yes. The ridger requires the BCS Blank Coupling (for non-powered implements). To improve traction—especially in softer or recently tilled ground—spade lug wheels and/or wheel weights are also recommended.
