Bonz, Almost the exact price I paid, I gave $12,050.00 but got the grill guard and service manual also. I checked several dealers and had to work on them pretty hard to got that price here in central Missouri.
It is well worth that price in my opinion.
Be carefull and enjoy!

Bonz, Last week I paid $12,000 even for a BX 2200, FEL, 54"MMM, grill guard, and block heater here in Green Bay. I t took some negotiating though. I am going out to the garage in few minutes to install the grill guard.... I'm going to try to figure out a way to attach some removable weights to the guard/front end instead buying the factory set up. Hopefully that will help balance the rig when I don't have a the FEL on the front and have a heavy implement like my tree planter on the 3 pt.....

Dan, I just got my BX last week also. I was thinking about front weights but the factory weights were a bit high. If you come up with something I would sure like to hear about it.
And by the way, what about this tree planter, sounds interesting. Is it for saplings or larger trees?

i think u will find that u won't take the fel off very much, most useful thing on the tractor. but if u do and feel like u need weights have u thought of a cheap set of workout (barbell) weights? low cost and u can vary the wight as nedded. would that work for u?

Frank, I have thought of useing barbell weights, the steel ones not the sand filled. I saw a tractor at a sale that had a setup like that. The bracket should not be much trouble.
You have a good point about not taking the loader off much. Best tool I ever bought. I'll wait till I start mowing and see if I can manouver it ok with loader.

rmc, I had seen an earlier post of the price you paid for your BX setup. I even told the dealers I talked to that they would have to match that price. Needless to say I caved in before they did. You got the best price I have heard. The best price I got the first time through was 12,800 but your input sure helped me get the best price in the area. Just wanted to say thanks./w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif
