BCS Volcan

BCS Volcan

BCS is a company producing specialised tractors (and some other machinery). Currently, the group consists of brand BCS, Ferrari and Pasquali. I’m going to tell you something about it, because history of BCS is quite impressive... 

I do not know what about you, but I like numbers. Thank to them in short sentence you can find some interesting information. So I prepared some numbers about BCS. 

BCS Volcan

BCS Company was founded in 1940 and at first it was only ... workshop. Three years later, a small workshop was transformed into the BCS Company. 10 years was enough to reach the level of 3 thousand tractors sold! Remember, we're talking about specialized tractors. Let's move on. The next 10 years and a further increase in sales, this time at the level of 100 thousand! In 2007, total sales of of the BCS products was one million units. But here it should be noted that we’re talking about BCS, Ferrari and Pasquali tractors.

Model on the pictures is called Volcan. It is the most extensive group of BCS machines. They are available in AR and RS versions (models with steering wheels and steering pivot), but also MT, Dualsteer, STD RS and STD Dualsteer. MT machines are designed to work in difficult conditions (including the sloping terrain) and for heavy loads. They have all the wheels of equal size, low center of gravity and a reversible driver's seat. Dualsteer is a versatile machine with a very high functionality. All they are equipped with swivel joints, swivel front wheels and reversible operator's seat. A characteristic features of STD machines are different size wheels and a compact wheelbase.
