I will get the 2920 tomorrow. Main reasons for the switch (and I may have covered this before), first, I wanted a unit with increased hydraulic capability, but I did not want a physically larger tractor. Second, I rarely used the backhoe and was constantly struggling with taking it off and on. Off was actually easy,. back on was more of an issue. At my age I knew it would eventually hurt me. I actually was looking at a "B"2620 and was advised by several much more knowledgeable people that if the cost difference was not significant go with the biggest engine in the same frame, thus the 2920. Interestingly while more powerful that the BX and having more ground clearance the B2920 from ground to the top of the ROPS is four plus inches shorter so it will be easier to maneuver around the property. I also get a FEL with more capability and a higher lift. I got the quick detach feature for the bucket and my wife is happy that I got the fork lift optional attachment. See she has plans for me. Everything is always a compromise but this seems the better choice for me. If you have not already learned one of the great truths of life, learning can be expensive. I will post pictures after I complete some mods/ improvements I have in mind
