BCS 725 on Craigslist with Unusual Tiller Housing

[wstr75]

I have not seen a tiller housing like this before. Not much guarding coverage of the rotating parts! The tiller is equipped with a furrow-making plow.

That's a combined ridger. I have one and it works great for hilling potatoes. Not much good for anything else. The idea was top buy a tiller and take the shroud off when you wanted to use it. It wasn't too bad, but I doubt many switched back and forth after the first time. It's just easier to mount the hiller/furrower (which I don't like as much) I don't think they've been offered since the 715, 725 went out in 1994.
