I finally did it. I've been oogling over BCS tillers for years. Today was the day.
I was trying to work up a patch that had gotten more sod in it than I wish it had and my old 30 year old Craftsman tiller quit on me. My dear wife gave me a good talkin' to and said, "We need to go get a new tiller." It wasn't a suggestion. And that old tiller, well, it was a matter of sendin' a boy to do a man's job. I knew that. But I've been trying to get by continuing to fix little things as I've had to. And I could have again. But I'll bet I'd have spent hours fixin' on the thing, probably multiple times, and who knows if I'd have gotten that ground worked up.
It's not their smallest. And it's certainly not their biggest. But it's big enough that there aren't too many attachments they make that it can't power. There are a bunch of attachments to be had if I decide I want 'em. But just using the tiller, wow! That thing is a beast! And it works very well.
Ya know how some things you buy and within 5 minutes, wish you'd bought a better one? I used this one for about an hour this afternoon and I kinda don't think I'm gonna think that about this machine. Expensive, yes. Built like a tank, though. Pretty easy to use. And I suspect it'll outlive me should this ol' world go on that long. Hated spending the $$. But my dear wife convinced me that I need to work smarter, not harder. She's right.
