BCS two-wheel tractors - factory quality issues, bad support

[Jrasband]

In hindsight I would have bought one of the bigger models to get the bigger wheels. I'm not sure about the powersafe. On my 739 it has worked flawlessly for 11 years now. Super convenient if you're constantly walking away from the tractor but the brake is annoying.

I bought a 853 used about 5 years ago, and I put 26" wheels on it(which is really nice for mowing!). I used a 830 for about 7 years before that, the 853 was a nice upgrade but pulling the clutch a lot can be tiring after a while. I dream of getting a 749 with powersafe some day. When I cultivate I avoid pulling the clutch but with some implements it's not that easy. I got my 853 for $3,500 with a Berta plow so I probaly won't get that good of a deal on a 749.

Similar to you, I use my BCS for lots of things and couldn't imagine not having one!
