Been thinking about a BX.. Started a thread discussing it here http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-buying-pricing/194897-what-can-bx25-do-bushog.htmlbut the more i read the more i wonder about a b2620. I guess this thread would be best to discuss what benefits if any for a B2620 (or a B2320) over a BX25 as it was determined in the other thread that a BX should be able to do what i want?
First, you should know the condensed version of what its going to do:
This machine is going to spend 90% of its life mowing lawns. Area to be mowed will be approx 2-3 acres, some with a pretty good slope.
Other jobs planned are removing a lawn and landscaping some heavy clay soil to redirect water away from the house. Part of this will be removing about 6" of clay topsoil as the grade is too high. This will be over an area of approx 20'x60' or so
THere will be ongoing maintenance on approx 500' of gravel drive. Including crowning.
Also several ditches need maintaining and various french drains need o be installed.
One last job is bush-hogging an established road and reclaiming some fields. Typically 1-2.5" dia alders.
Can a BX do this or am i wasting my time? How are the taller B's for mowing, especially on slopes?
The more i read, the more i think. Im second guessing myself big time. I already made one mistake, last year i bought a x540.. Great mower but i cant do the other ground engaging stuff that i hope the B or BX will do.
I think its more the ground clearance thing weighing on my mind, mostly for the bush hogging.
Low clearance like the BX = great for mowing.. higher clearance like the B= great for Bush hogging but not so good for mowing on slopes
