I have a BCS 720 that works fine but I'm looking to get something a bit bigger. Right now all I have is a tiller and that is what I will be doing 95% of the time in the future. I just got a good deal on a BCS snow thrower yesterday. I imagine I will get to use that half a dozen times a year but I will be using the tiller probably about 50 to 100 hours a year. Other implements I might get in the future are rotary plow, and possibly a used lawn mower if I can find a good deal. (I only have a 1/3 acre lot).
I have had my eye on a 107d for about a year for a couple reasons. First is price, I can get more machine for less money. And second I understand they might make a slightly better tiller than BCS. I can get a 739 locally for about the same as a 107d from earthtools shipped to me with a few extras (quick couplings, foam filled tires). I might have the chance to get a lightly used 739 at a bit of a discount as well.
I have not had the chance to use a powersafe clutch before and that is one of my concerns with getting a 739. I would like to get some thought on people who have used it. One of my concerns with the 107d is the reverser. I have seen alot of people prefer the bsc style rather than the grillo style. But again I have not had the chance to use the Grillo and try it out. I know the 739 is missing the steering brakes that the 107 has, I think they might be nice but if I am not mowing much (if at all) I might never need them. I know that the snow thrower I just got will not work with the Grillo, and if I ever want to find a cheap used lawnmower it will probably be a BCS. I have never seen a Grillo here in Utah and everyone I ask have never heard of them.
I would just like to get your thoughts, should I stick with BCS and get slightly less machine or just make the switch to Grillo and have to buy new.
Thanks
