New to the forum. Tell me about the BX2350 I just brought home.
I've been lurking on this site for some time and have appreciated all the advice and opinions here. Thanks!
So the wife and I bought a small farm about a year ago and since then I've had my eyes peeled for a deal in the neighborhood. I stalked eBay and Craigslist like it was my job for about six months and even went to a big equipment auction. Nothing felt quite right partly because I wasn't sure I wanted a SCUT or a zero turn. After passing up or missing a few deals I kicked myself over I finally bit on one.
I found a BX2350 on Craigslist with a FEL, 60" deck, and power angle blade with quick hitch listed for $7500. I knew that seemed like a great deal. Talked to the wife and then called right away. I was the first caller, but the next guy offered 8k which the seller allowed me to match. I still felt that was fair and brought her home tonight.
The biggest dings are the typical cracked plastic hood and floor. Nothing major. Unfortunately it was stored outside for some time, but it appears to only have 421 hrs. (That silly LED is nigh impossible to read and reading between the lines I didn't press the very nice woman who was clearly selling a machine she owned but didn't know much about)
So was 8k clearly wasn't getting hosed right? Any advice for a new BX owner?
