[/QUOTE]Chucky: Just call Barlows and ask how he'll trade and if your payments are in the range you feel OK with, then go for it on the B and he may have other BX25's for you. If you've paid $2000 so far for 50 hours of use then it's cost you $40 an hour for using your tractor which is fairly cheap plus fuel which is usually a gallon per hour. Still not bad and you've learned a lot about buying the next "RIGHT" tractor and education isn't usually free. Why not enjoy your tractoring hours with a machine you'll be happy with and it will have just cost you a small bit of money which you can make up for on the "RIGHT" tractor. See how easy I have been to talk myself in to trading tractors......It's to make ME HAPPY and I'm to old to worry about the cost of my education vs happiness. TROY: Knows what I'm talking about....He does it to.

The cost of education doesn't bother me so much as the other half who is pregnant with twins. Lol. About to have 4 kids 4yrs or younger can make a mommabear a bit overly protective of the cash hoard. Honestly though I just got a promotion at work and have always wanted a FEL and Hoe so started thinking it might a good time to invest a little extra of that cash. Like all things though you start one place and end up somewhere else. I started just wanting a FEL for the Bx2370 then was surprised by the promotion last week and though ehh why not look at the bx25's instead then I saw the b2320 or b2301's and thought hmmmmmm more tractor is always better and I could add a hoe later if needed to that..... And thus is the process of the mans brain. By time it's done I'm sure I'll have my self talked into a six figure tractor price tag before falling back to earth in a reality crash-n-burn. If I KNEW the b2301 wouldn't be overkill for a guy who uses the tractor to mostly mow and would be stable on my hills I would pull the trigger on a new one with MMM for now and add a FEL and Hoe later. My dealer just doesnt let you bring tractors out to ur property to demo. I can drive all day long on their property but it's all concrete jungle so that doesn't do much for me in terms of experience. I Just remember what u guys taught me last year about buying more tractor than you need now because u always end up needing it later and I have to say after owning the bx2370 for a year it's so true that you find yourself doing so much more than u realized you could with your new tractor and I just know the the addition of a FEL and Hoe would exponentially increase that fact. By reading about the b and bx and finally owning my first tractor for a year I realize just how much more the B is over the BX now and how nice those added options and abilities would be. Just gotta make my mind up is all. Good thing is I am in no rush since I already own the bx...
