First of all, this is my first post so thanks for having me here.
I have been reading for several days using the search function and have gotten some good info for implements for my 2005 BX2230. Only thing is many of those are dated in the 2004-2008 range given the model of the tractor. So with that said, I have had my 2230 for 6 years and it has 225 hours on it. When I purchased it it was more lawn mower (60" belly) with a front loader ( LA211) than I needed at the time but I knew one day I would need the capacity of a compact tractor and its versatility as I had purchased some raw land next to the golf course to develope a small horse farm later.
Kinda scary my plan actually panned out!
Anyway, I recently purchased a Land Pride RCR 1548 bush hog and have been pleased.
I have decided to purchase the Land Pride PD10 with the 9" auger bit( $1050.00 quoted price) for the rest of my fencing and some newer trellis work. But I also need a tiller (wife wants a big garden) and the Land Pride is high on my list.
What size and any others should I consider? The Land Pride RTR 05 is being quoted in the $1900.00 range new. I believe that is a 48" or a 42" model. Can't recall now. Sounds like I can easily go with a 48" model and this tractor will handle it fine.
I'm also looking at the LAnd Pride BB05 box scrapper.
I maintain 15 acres of horses, apples, peaches, grapes, and beehives.
Anyway, just looking for current 2011 thoughts.
Thanks.
