We bought a new BCS tiller. We have been using the heavy duty troy builts, so I thought I would compare them. Pros: it has electric start, bigger honda engine 13 horse, all controls are easily operated from a standing position, when you shift to reverse tines disengage automatically, handles swing easily to the side with the lever on the right handle. Handle height adjust real easy, you can unlock differential and turn on a dime. It has a hand clutch so it's stops on a dime and you can go super slow or just creep ahead if needed. Easy forward to reverse on handle, really smooth running machine the thing just purrs.
Cons: it has 3 forward speeds but third gear is faster than a human can run? So it's useless for tilling..it must be meant for a ride on attachment, lots of cables and linkages plus plastic parts. Also the bolts holding the tines on are really small might be an issue to get off.
It does a good job. Just wondering if it's going to be as
bullet proof as the old troy builts.
