What they do
Earth Tools imports and sells BCS-brand walking tractors (Italian-built two-wheel tractors that hand-scale market farms run on instead of conventional ride-on tractors), plus the implement ecosystem that runs on them — tillers, sickle-bar mowers, flail mowers, snow blowers, log splitters. Beyond BCS: a deep hand-tool catalog (Tilther, Glaser hoes, broadforks, transplanters) and small-engine equipment chosen for repairability. Joe Cocannouer and family operate the business out of Owenton, Kentucky.
Why it’s listed
[[a-market|A market]] garden between 1/4 acre and 5 acres cannot economically run a ride-on tractor, but the hand-tool-only path stops scaling somewhere around 1 acre. The walking-tractor band in between is where small-farm productivity gets unlocked — and the equipment to occupy that band has been almost entirely absent from the US dealer network. Earth Tools is the institution that closed that gap. Every market garden the directory lists upstream of this entry — Singing Frogs Farm, Josie Porter Farm, Pocono Organics’ small-scale beds — runs partly on equipment that came through this dealer.
