for 17,900 I would ask from a free 50 hour service. I paid less from Emerichs sales and service but I would get something here.

I found for installing inground irrigation systems the BX24 by itself takes WAY to long to install and kills the ground/grass. I just installed 2,500 ft of it last weekend with the BX24. There are better ways to install poly pipe and unground wiring. YMMV.

Lastly, I will say I dislike the BX24 for a few reasons. The joke switchs for safety (not on my old BX22 and need to disarm them), you cannot use any hyd on idle and the worst is the plastic floor. I HATE that and looks cheap.
