We have an 8hp BSC with a wide tiller (BSC offers 2 tiller widths), furrower, and the sickle bar attachment. We are very happy with this arrangement. We grow only for our own use - 1/2 acre tilled garden beds.
At 57 and of slight build I do not find the BCS sickle bar too jarring to operate. It does take some getting used to though. It is much slower than a riding mower and is a workout to use. All nuts must be tightened properly and the 2 nuts/bolts that hold the bar on the front MUST be treated with lock tight to keep them from rattling loose. (Not the nuts that hold the attachment on the engine unit.) After loosening a few when mowing, I got a supply, then used lock tight. I have not lost any since. Regards, Jay's dad >I'm looking at the 8hp BCS right now. Do you think that it is too small? >Good season's end pricing on it. 26inch tiller: $1700 I don't want to buy one too small, but my only goal is to get a mower attachment (sickle) for it, beyond tilling. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
