I wanted a set up where i could leave a tiller and front blade on a tractor.patrick_g said:Are those attributes inclusive or potentially exclusive? I mean, do you have to need it and want it and afford it or will just one or two of the three be sufficient justification?
Lots of tractors are bought because of just two of them and strictly speaking some are bought on just one justification (want.)
Do you propose all three must be present simultaneously? Want and afford seem to rule the roost with need a distant third.

I also needed a tractor to mow around the house and where I don't /can't mow with the BX23 with a 60'' mmm.
A Delux JDx749 would have met the mowing need for $13000 but would not have satisfied the want for a tractor that I could leave a blade and tiller on.
My solution was to spend the exact same $13000 on 2 BX1500s with 3 point hitches and rear PTO's on them where the JDx749 had neither of those features making it impossible to use a tiller or any other 3 point attachment on it.
For the same $13000 as the JD I was able to fullfill both my wants and needs where the JD only covered the mowing need.
Not knocking the JD a real fine tractor but it just didn't fit my circimstances.
Why do I need /want 3 tractors some ask?
My answer why settle for 2 tractors if you can have 3 for the same or less money?
