I've seen the BCS machines and I wish I could see a Grillo 107D locally.
Control wise, are they similar? I like the lack of plastic and the Grillo tiller seems better from what I can tell. The BCS dealer 50 miles to the south of me is stocking the 739, but that model is not appealing to me when I compare it with the 107D on paper. From what I can see the 107D would give me a 853 like machine for about $800 less than the 739 electric start Honda I looked at. Locally the guys said the 853 electric start would be over $5k with the tiller.
After handling the 739 I really want one in this class now, the differential is very cool after years of fighting solid axle rear tine tillers. The more I think about it the more I lean towards one with a differential and steering brakes like the 853 or a 107D. I'm debating on getting a brush mower or a chipper but, mainly I need it to cultivate two large gardens when I can't get the Kubota L series in there anymore.
