Looking for a tractor for residential mowing 3 acres, brush cutting 1.9 acres with front loader capabilities. I'm very impressed with the BX2200 with the 60"MMM and loader and think it will meet all my requirements. However, the local NH dealer has a 95 Ford 1620 HST with 72" MMM that I could add a loader to for a price under the BX2200. The 1620 is a 27HP (22PTO HP) tractor that was used by a park service in Texas exclusively for mowing (3pt hitch/rear PTO has never been used - paint is still inside lifting arm rings). Question is should I go with a larger tractor even though its used with approx. 2,300 hrs which would have a bigger loader and could handle a larger brush cutter/rear attachments or should I go new with the BX2200 which I think would do what I needed and would have a warranty. Primary uses will be as follows: 90% finish mowing; 10% brush cutting and/or loader work.
