Currently I have a lawn tractor (JD X300) and a 1995 Kubota B7100. The kubota has a 60inch mmm,FEL,48 inch box scraper. I love this tractor but mowing without power steering or running the loader much without power steering just gets old. I have 2 acres of lawn and do light loader work occasionally. (river rock and gravel projects until my yard etc is finished). I have been thinking of upgrading to a scut and scaling down to one tractor. I checked out a BX1850 today and REALLY liked it. I think it might just be the ticket. So here is my questions.
Price-Dealer offered $11,000 for BX1850 with FEL and 54" mmm. They offered $6k trade on my B7100 with 60mmm and vacuum mower and FEL. Is this a good deal?
I will sell the JD X300 after I decide if I like mowing with the BX1850.
Concerns- Does the BX1850 mow as nice as my B7100? My current Kubota mows every bit as good or better than my Deere. Is the 1850 going to be as tough as the B7100? Will I break it doing Loader work or using the 48" box scraper? The B7100 was only 16hp and the 1850 is 18HP, but I know HP doesn't mean its as tough...
Thanks for your help.
