I bought my B8200 in Jan. 2003- just in time to learn how to use it to clear our 750' lane that had about 30" of snow in it. Banks and trees on each side, so the loader and I got acquainted. Out of that came the desire for power steering, which I added that spring, from a dealer who had a kit gathering dust in their warehouse, and advertised it on the classified here. I have a loader, auger and back blade, and the tractor has worked perfectly for me. I only use it about 50 hours a year- no mowing- but I wouldn't want to be without it. I made my own toothbar, which works great for tearing up multi-flora and pulling old fence posts (no need to get off the seat and attach a chain- just spear the post and up it goes). I found a service manual and parts book on e-bay, which I don't really need, but makes it possible if and when I might need to fix something. Oh- I added a gauge set, as well. My tractor was really clean, with under 500 hours, and with all the goodies, I suppose I have something like $8000 invested.
