Buying Advice Anyone use the newer BCS America units with tiller, snow thrower and mower?

We're looking at the BCS America model 732 which is the bottom of their pro line. It looks like a nice machine and would be convenient for snow in winter, tilling the garden and even some mowing (mower attachment and maybe also the sickle bar. Model 732 - BCS America

Do any of you have any experience with these late model BCS units and their attachments? Are they generally good machines? Hold up well?

I would put the money towards a small tractor with a loader.... SCUT..sub compact utility tractor,,,you can wrap up a lot of money in one of those BCS units with attachments, and still have nothing more than a fancy rototiller

You did come here to get talked into buying a tractor right?

I have the 722, smaller than the 732. While it is great, great tiller, I did not buy the misc attachments in part due to the cost.

Thanks for the replies so far

We already do have a tractor (John Deere 4120 with loader, finish mower and large tiller). The main motivation for the BCS would be for a small walk behind tiller after the garden is growing and also for the snow thrower because our driveway is on a steep hill which is unsafe for the tractor (tractor slides on the driveway when there's snow, so I can't use it on the hill for snow removal).

IMHO,I would look on craigslist for a used BCS or a older troy built horse tiller and then a used 2 stage honda,ariens or toro walk behind snow blower.I believe it would save you major $$$ in the long run.
