We have had a BCS 737 (11 h.p.)at Windwalker Farm for 5 or so years. We
love it! Joan can start it with the electric start or rope if the battery
is dead. We have several attachments for it and have had good service up to
now. (it is in the shop for some transmission problem at present - about
$300 worth) Besides our old Case 312 it was the main stay for the farm until
we got our Kubota this year. It does a better job pulverizing than the 4
foot tiller on the tractor and better than the "borrowed" Troy-Built Pony
(30 years old) we are using in the interim. The website of
www.earthworks.com shows all the wonderful attachments for it. We would
like to have a transport wheel for it as it is a heavy machine to lug from
barn to field. While tilling it is almost a hands free process unless the
ground is very dry...... Then you've got to hang on. They are expensive but
we feel worth the money.
