te we
did get a nighbor to prepare our pastures for reseeding and with all the
wondrous rain theres a haze of green coming up... i do feel it was a
response to prayer and luck we even found him, i noticed his tractor riding
by. :)sharon PS...
anyone know where bcs tillers are available? address?
This does bring us to where my mind went this evening.
Would you be better off & more in keeping with threefolding by
contracting for chisel or even subsoil tilling of 3' beds. Then get
a quality mower to keep the paths & landscape set for work and as

We here in
We have an 8hp BSC with a wide tiller (BSC offers 2 tiller widths),
furrower, and the sickle bar attachment.
We are very happy with this arrangement. We grow only for our own use - 1/2
acre tilled garden beds.
At 57 and of slight build I do not find the BCS sickle bar too jarring to
operate.

hmm, I rented a troybilt sickle mower a few years back. (not twenty
then, either) and happily mowed an acre of johnson grass mixed with
datura and amaranth. Like butter.

Thanks for this good information, Markess.
I'm looking at the 8hp BCS right now. Do you think that it is too
small? Good season's end pricing on it. 26inch tiller: $1700
I don't want to buy one too small, but my only goal is to get a mower
attachment (sickle) for it, beyond tilling.

Someone said GOLDINI, but I'm not familiar with
those machines. What else?
I'm very interested in hearing of the experiences of others with any
of these machines.

Down the road from the conference, to the left there were some nice small

Why don't you get a Perfecta, with those serious S-tines and the roller
basket??? Stay away from moving parts dude. First pass with the Perfecta,
then spade. What about a disc. Those small bcs machines have there place

I know, I know, but...
If you hadn't heard before, I'm moving to new ground this fall. This
means I've got to move through lots of sod, one way or the other.
After several years with a spading machine, I'm pretty happy to think
about working with at tiller again. This is not an endorsement of
