Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I just bought a used 830 bcs with a tiller and would like to know  if any of you have any experience with the snow blower attachment for it.I live in Maine so I have to deal with lots of snow here and we have a gravel driveway also.I was thinking about the two stage blower they now have for it .I have never seen it as we don't have a dealer for bcs in my area.I would like to know  how well they work and how rugged they are.

Thanks,

Probably outdated, but I just joined the forum. A resounding confirmation to CT Dave's reply. Bought my 725 in approx. '92 and got the 28" thrower with it. Its an animal! BCS didn't have a 2 stage then but claimed it would only get in the way of the primary stage. They run it at double the speed of existing blowers and with the mass, it would throw it as far as you could want. They told the truth! The only thing that ever stopped it was a 4-5 inch dia. piece of tree trunk and I pried it out with a bar and went right back to work. I sure wish it was easier to turn around as you plow though. When I get into the 80s I'll have to start looking for another way I guess.

I just bought a little used BCS 8 hp Kohler tractor and it has a 28 in snow thrower attachment.  It was sold because the owner moved out of snow country and has no use for it.  They said it was a powerful unit and worked very well.  I purchased the Unit for the tractor Not the snowthrower.  If you are interested in one I have this unit available for sale.  A new one will set u back $995.00 list.  I am willing to negotiate a price in this unit.  Contact me if you are interested.  smercer@iglou.com.
