Found a 2000, with a chipper and tiller. $1500. Any thoughts, info?

Dave, I remember you saying they were not real easy to turn around and that it took some space because they got a little long with the snowblower on. But I have this belly that helps me when I need to push something.

The dealer told me about a freewheel kit? It was $180.  Because I asked based on your reports.

Hi...

My BCS has the freewheel kit installed (came w/ it)... either or both wheels can be locked / unlocked to freewheel (ie no power to it) makes turning a LOT easier... but I find I still usually keep both wheels locked when snowblowing and rototilling...

Snowblowing w/ 1 wheel locked tends to make the machine track to one side when under heavier loads... making me hold it to go straight...

Rototilling... not enough traction in deep loose soil w/ 1 wheel unlocked...

Moving the chipper around my flat yard... keep one wheel unlocked for EZ turning...

Dave...
