Still looking - B7400? Opinions?

tommyz270 · Jul 9, 2009

Actually, I could probably "get away with a bx", but my gut is telling me to go for the B and I like it 'more better'....

I also don't want to be looking to buy another one a year or two down the road because I find the BX just isn't working like I want it to, which is why I was thinking the 2920 to give me that little more than what I need today, but if I won't tell the difference... you guys may be right, why spend the money? I'm SURE I'm going to find the money to spend on attachments....

I would say Jas67 had summed it up pretty well. If you don't need the extra PTO power REGULARLY(!!!!) then why pay the extra $ for something you may not use. I have a B7510 and do run a PTO chipper, snowblower and have a mower deck. Would it be nice to have another 2-4 ponies at the pto? Yes. But! For the few times I could have used the extra hp it would not be worth it. The loader strength will come in play if you have a lot of heavy things such as rocks to lift. Otherwise the bucket size is very close on the models you are considering. My loader use is mostly dirt, gravel and compost. I can fill the bucket heaping with rocks and no problem lifting it and do that for hours. Would I LIKE a more powerful machine? Yes. Would I NEED a more powerful machine? No. Besides, you will have no problem spending that extra money on implements. If you go for new, I would suggest, that get the model that you can get the best deal on. Compared to the 7400 the 2320/2620/7510/7610 will be a step or three up. This - of course - is my personal opinion. Good luck and have fun.

whats the diff between the 2320/2620 and 7510/7610?

The 2320/2620 is the one on the lot now and the 7510/7610 was the models previously

What Tommyz270 said, plus the newer B2x20 models have a 3-range HST (cd 2), a slightly higher HP rating ( 26/23 vs. 24/21 ), and the availible loaders lift higher (and maybe a little more weight too, I don't have the specs in front of me).

So then the 2620 would be the replacement for the 7610 correct?
