    There is no reason that any nomaly fit person couldnt use a BCS tractor.There are some tricks to learn like hookig to the front attach implements in rear hitch positon during hook up so better balance the enigne dureing attachment but it is very doable. A freind of mine up in maryland uses an 850 which is as big a machine as mine and she is about 5'2" and maybe 100 lbs soaking wet . So dont be afraid of trying one. The dealer that I bought mine from has a 15 day return policy if you find that one of his tractors or implements in not suitable for your purposes he will refund your purchase price . Joel ships tractors all over the US but you may have a dealer closer to you. You can see his offerings at http://www.earthtoolsbcs.com He is a very good fellow to deal with.

Hi everyone.  I am considering purchasing a walk behind tractor and want to get your thoughts on how it would work out for an older female.  Is this something that I could handle – I am physically fit but not a weight lifter.

 

Thanks,
