Nancy, I have an ancient bcs 605 eight
horsepower walk behind with a tiller and a brush mower. the units have a
couple of speeds from crawl to a fast walk. when turning mine has a brake system
that allows you to lock the wheel on the side you are turning to and then the
other wheel drives the tiller around, sort of like the old army tanks.It is
pretty easy to use once you figure out which speed works best for the operation
you are doing. I pretty much just run it in first when tilling and just enjoy
the machines powerfull abilities. you have hand controls that allow you to
disengage the drive to the wheels and the power take off for the tiller.
Realy a pleasant machine to work with compared to the tinny home owner kind of
rototiller from sears or home depot. when you engage the tiller it takes
only a revolution or two to bury itself in our clay soils here in arizona and
then goes to work churning it up into a fluffy bed. When I use the brush
mower I have a little surry seat with wheels that attaches to the machine (
looks a little like a harness racing seat ) which allows you to sit and ride
behind the machine as it mows. I dont think it will work when a tiller is
attached though. hope this helps. Joe
