Those are the best kind of all, if you can get them to stay on task!

I'll play. BCS 720. Repowered with a Kohler CH395. Got the conversion kit to go from 20" to 26". Was worth every penny

I have a 732. Wish I would have went bigger for steering brakes, but it does what I need. Rotary plow, tiller, and about to get the blower. I use EarthTools for all my parts/implements. Picked my unit up local for a heck of a deal!

Yup, earthtools all the way here too. First time i called for some help I got lucky and Joel picked up. He built me a custom conversion kit for my 720. They have my business for sure.


Picked mine up at a local auction for 10 bucks!!!

Good score. I missed out on a couple of BCS tillers b4 I found my Horse. It does a mighty fluffy job.

Old yardman earthbird repowered with a $99 predator 212. Original briggs 4hp was on its way out. New engine was pretty much a direct swap. Just had to bend the pulley guard in the vise a bit to clear the reverse pulley and get a new throttle cable as the oe wasn't long enough. Repaired and rebuilt the gearbox over the winter with new seals, bushing and thrust bearing. New drive belts too. Hopefully it provides another several decades of service.

Dope! I remember Yard-Man was being pushed as the be all/end all of lawn equipment in the early 90's. The name was a dig at Lawn Boy.

I have a Honda F210 $50 bux, needed some fuel system work.

How do you like the rotary plow? I have been looking at these for several years

At the time, I loved it. Now that I’ve moved, I use a conventional tractor, plow, disk, etc just because it’s faster and I’m planting more acreage. I still use the BCS for weeding and tilling rows. I did use it to plow some gardens in places you couldn’t get a tractor to like fenced in backyards. My son has thought about trying to push a business doing it in a couple of developements around us. I still use it for building raised beds.

They have definitely went up! Check marketplace and such. I found one not too far off for a coworker.

Although I've never owned one, I always thought these Sears tillers were the coolest ones ever made with the big gear shifter....lol....

Kind of looks like the Peerless 350/400 transmission used in some old riding mowers.

I got a 850 with 14hp B+S with tiller, combo mower, and snowblower which needed some tinkering. Joel picked up and got me set with new oil gaskets for implements etc. He took time to explain the order of op.s for the snowblower gasket replacement procedure, what to look out for on the 850, and a few basic tips. $50 in small parts and a 20 min conversation. Damn impressed with the service and knowledge.

Yep! I called to order times and we discussed what I needed. He then told me to quit using it to weed with and just buy the cultivators, lol. One of the best tools I have bought for it!
