Is it my imagination that the seat is bigger on the BX - or is it just showing off??

What a sharp eye.:cool: I got the ole tape out and the BX2660 seat is a couple inches taller than the B3200 and the width is about the same but the width on the BX seems to have a little more of a contoured fit. The BX2660 seat back reclines and has a pocket door on the back for manuals. My vote is the seat on the BX2660 is better than the seat on the B3200. Sorry B guys and smile BX2660 guys. I'm still keeping both and not trading the B for another BX2660 just because the seat is better.:) Had you an extra note LBrown but deleted it.

Looks like Jeff took the easy way out and rather than decide between them he just ordered them both.:D
For others trying to decide between BX and B.

Well, in a way, many of us have two tractors, if you think about it. How many have a mower, Zero turn, or yard tractor, rather than mowing with our larger machine?

I have my 18 hp BX1860 for snow, garden plowing and pulling around my wagon for utility work and my 18 hp Craftsman (Husqvarna:D) for mowing. My 2 acres are mostly flat, so no severe hills and I am in a maintenance mode, not in a big "push trees over mode", so yeah, they fit the bill perfectly.

Dang it, now I wanna go get "side by side" photos!! Thanks for the pix, they were great!

You do realize when that Craftsman starts dying/ailing you've got a great mowing machine already in the stable. Keep an eye out for a mowing deck for your Kubota just in case someone wants to give you a bunch of money for the Craftsman and you can only have one machine to service.:)

Yeah, sure I realized the 'Bota would make a fine mower, but I dealt with that issue in my head at the dealership. Let's see, gorgeous mower deck, with swivel wheels for easy slide in and slide out. What was it $1700 with or without tax? I don't remember.

What I do remember is thinking how close my trees are together and how I intend more trees, and how stinkin' huge that mower deck was!! :D

Cough! Cough! and the price. In my stupor state of being at a tractor dealership, which the courts have upheld, that no male human should be held accountable for his actions, I had a thought. For $1700 plus or minus, I could buy two crappy mowers from in front of Wally World or somewhere.

As you can tell, my lawn isn't that big a part of the property here and growing grass at the 45.5 parallel is almost impossible, mowing isn't on the top of my list. You may find it hard to believe, but the neighbors and I have cut our "lawns" a grand total of maybe 4 or 5 times in 2009. I doubt that BX will ever be asked to do anything as mundane as mow grass. Well, that's the way it is up here in Beaver Creek :D

I REALLY want your plow setup to go on my 2660 :). While you sprung for the plow, I sprung for the mowing deck. I should have bought it to add into the 0% but I already felt like I was spending way more than I needed to be :eek:

Yes, I sprung for the plow for the touch under 2 Large. About the same for a deck, as I recall. We mow here literally a half dozen times year, that's it. But snow?? :D:D:D:D Well, let's just say up here at the 45th Parallel, we have to deal with snow by the foot and for 4 to 5 months, so it was way more a priority. It was a no brainer for me. If I HAD thrown another couple grand into the zero financing deal, it might have been a disk or tiller. Like you, enough was enough, or so said the boss.
