    I bought a used BSC 2 Wheel tractor with a lawnmower attachment and a rototiller for $500 for my father. It was a good deal granted, but that is about as robust walk-behind lawnmower as a person can get. I say that because for those that do not know these machines, they have dozens of gears, posi-traction, and individual wheel clutches. That is saying nothing about the 30-40 attachments they have for these things. It took $150 to rebuild the clutch and replace some stuck cables honestly, but if a person with only a few acres, these things would work wonders.

    Heck, I even like their 4 wheel articulated tractors (but would have to cut off their ugly ROPS bar though).
