BCS 710R Petrol Rotavator (C8)

The BCS 710R Petrol Rotavator: Designed to Dig, Built to Last

If you’re after a tiller that can tackle serious ground without wearing you out, the BCS 710R Petrol Rotavator (C8) is the ideal machine for the job. With over three decades of proven performance, this two-wheeled tractor enjoys incredible popularity right across the UK’s domestic and commercial markets. An ultra-reliable workhorse, the 710R blends balanced handling with unbeatable durability and exceptional versatility, so it’s easy to understand why it’s the best-selling rotavator in its class.

Designed for Efficiency and Ease of Use

Whether you’re preparing a seedbed, breaking sod, or composting old crops, the BCS 710R is engineered to make light work of tough tasks. It has a 52cm (20-inch) working width and a perfectly balanced frame that ensures smooth operation on uneven ground. A single forward and single reverse gear make handling both intuitive and highly efficient. At 118kg and measuring 170cm (L) x 42cm at Wheels / 64cm at Handlebars (W) x 120 cm (H), it’s substantial enough for serious cultivation yet nimble enough to control easily, even in tighter spaces.

Independent Drives for Maximum Output

The BCS 710R is designed with a dual-drive system. One drive powers the wheels, propelling the machine forwards or backwards, while the other moves the forward-rotating tines. These two functions run simultaneously, meaning the rotavator is always doing the hard work for you. As long as the tines are in contact with the ground, they keep digging—no need for extra pushing or undue strain.

Precision Digging to 20cm Deep

Controlling the digging depth couldn’t be easier. A conveniently placed lever above the digging box allows you to adjust the tines according to your soil condition and task. Need a deep dig? Simply raise the lever. For surface work or shallower jobs, move it all the way in. This machine can reach down to 20cm (8 inches), giving you the flexibility to cultivate effectively, season after season.

Powerful Honda Engine and Superior Gear Drive

At the heart of the BCS 710R is a robust 8hp Honda GX270 engine, renowned for its reliability and longevity. Unlike machines that rely on belt or chain mechanisms, the 710R features an all gear drive transmission. This eliminates the risk of belt wear or chain breakage, ensuring dependable power delivery every time you start it up.

Built for Versatility

Although it’s a first-rate rotavator out of the box, the 710R is far more than a one-trick pony. This two-wheel tractor can be transformed into a hay rake, scythe, trailed ridger, snow plough, snow blower, or even a dozer blade thanks to a wide range of compatible attachments—all of which we sell separately. The quick-hitch system (also sold separately) makes changing implements quick and simple. And as the adjustable handlebar can rotate up to 180 degrees, it comfortably accommodates front-mounted accessories, increasing the machine’s usefulness all year round.

Safety and Comfort Features

The BCS 710R doesn’t compromise on safety or comfort. It’s fitted with a PowerSafe hydraulic clutch—a system with multiple steel discs in an oil bath that boosts reliability and user protection. The handlebars can be adjusted to six different positions, allowing a comfortable working posture for almost any operator. Agricultural-grade wheels with 16-inch tyres deliver strong grip and control, while the parking brake acts as a further safety precaution.

Trusted by Professionals, Backed by Warranty

There’s a reason this machine is so popular—it works hard, lasts long, and delivers consistent results. Manufactured by Italian agricultural experts BCS S.p.A, the 710R comes with an impressive three-year warranty for domestic users or two years’ commercial cover.
