I have a 2007 BX 2350 with 400 hrs with no front hydraulics and was wondering if you guys think it would be a downgrade if I traded it in for a 2002 B7500 with 450 hrs and a FEL. I love my BX but want a FEL. Thanks

Same horse power, larger frame and a FEL seems like an upgrade to me.

I don't think the model year is nearly as important if the condition is good and it isn't lacking some feature that you really want. Doesn't sound like a downgrade if the condition is comparable.

Hours are the deciding factor in tractor value in my opinion. That B7500 looks newer than my 2015
L2501.
L2501.

Power steering is a big deal for me for loader work especially so that's something you might look at with the B7500.

Probably not, our BX2660 has a suspended deck (the wheels are not intended to be in continuous contact with the ground and the tractor linkage sets the mowing height) and our B7500 has a ground contact deck (it runs on the ground and the wheels set the mowing height). The linkage is similar between the two, but I don't think that they would interchange.
