Started with a BX2200 MMM
FEL and after one year traded it to a B7800
FEL and also bought a BX1500 MMM. Traded my B7800
FEL to a L3240
FEL after 3 years of use. After one year of use I traded the L3240 to a B3200
FEL 60" bucket early this year. I also trade my BX1500 MMM after 3 years of use last year to a BX2350 MMM and after one year with the BX2350 I traded it a couple weeks ago to a BX2660 MMM
FEL. Have done some
FEL work with the B3200 this year and today for the first time did a bit of
FEL work with the BX2660 because my wife caught me using it while mowing. Told her I'd do it later with the B3200 but it wasn't much needing to be done so went ahead and did it with the BX. Later took loader off BX and mowed for about 3 hours. As I was mowing and thinking about the BX and the B I kept thinking "a BX ain't no B, it just "ain't" no matter how much some people think they are". When it comes to
FEL work and the "feel" of the tractor and solid feel when working. The ease of use and control of the front bucket is also big difference. Hate to say it BX guys but it just "ain't". The BX will mow better than all the others except for my F2680E but mows all the F will do. The B is the tops for my 5 acres of residential treed, rocked, gullied hillside for loader work. The BX is tops for mowing. If I had to choose just one I'd have to go with the BX since I do 90% mowing and 10%
FEL and other uses. (Boxblade/Landscape rake with B) and Overseeder and fertilize spreader with BX by preference. If you BX owners are thinking of trading and have never tried a B, do so before you trade and you'll see what B owners know that you don't.
Mowing only F, Mowing and some
FEL work a BX but
FEL work and some mowing a B and if flat land farming or bunch of
FEL work an L. Don't know anything about M's other than they're hugh.
