But the difference between the BX24- HST I had and the B2320-DTN is night and day. Two completely different tractors. Granted the biggest difference is the just the transmission but I think even HST to HST the B is much more of tractor.

Say Pikeville or Hazard. I used to work for the Cat Dealer in the early 70's and at that time the 992 was the largest thing we sold but the equipment they use in the coal stripping fields now will carry them. Go south east until you start seing mountain tops leveled and look around. Big is really relative to other things bigger or smaller. They even have machines in Western Ky that will pick the 988 cat up in the bucket. Don't you watch Modern Marvels on TV?

A BX just isn't a B an I'm glad they're not because if they were i wouldn't have gotten one.
A BX just isn't a B is what sold me on the BX over the B.

That's right LBrown. You just keep saying it over and over to yourself every day and you'll believe it. I'll believe it when you buy another BX1500.

One is not "better", just different. | |

Its not real helpful. | I have nothing to say in the Kubota argument going here, but I couldn't let that post go without acknowledging how hilarious that was. You just described 99.9% of internet forums in existence.

I like the steering wheel better too.

I like the steering wheel better too. | I agree and after speaking with some who own the ZTR, my property is too hillly. On flat, level ground though they really seem to work well. | |
