I am looking to upgrade. I currently have a 739 and several years ago I had an old 720. I would like to get a 30 tiller and a stone burying tiller attachments. I already have a sweeper and snowblower attachments I will keep. I wish I could try both the 853 and the 749 side by side but that probably won稚 happen.
I am looking for some help from people that may have both or have used both units. The thing I really like about my 739 is the fact that the engine doesn稚 die every time I let of of them handle. My 720 had a clip to keep the clutch handle from killing the engine but sometimes it would jump and die before I could grab the handle again.
The thing I dislike about the 739 is sometimes it is very difficult to get the PTO to engage. It would be nice to feather the couch at times to get the PTO to engage easier.
I know the other differences such as no transport speed, which could be nice but I wouldn稚 use it much if at all. And the inability to work on the power safe clutch myself. But in 4 years with my 739 I have never had an issue.
I am just looking for thoughts from you to help figure out which way I should go. Thanks
