I went to a fair the other day and sat on a B7510. I own a BX1500.

The big mistake is I can't stop thinking about that tractor. All that power. All that ground clearance...

I don't really regret buying the BX1500, but I've moved to a much larger lot since I bought it last year. Now I could really use the extra horsepower to improve the land - chipper, brushhog, etc.

What to do?! I can't justify a $2000+ loss on the BX plus an extra $3500+/- to get into the B7510. In fact, I don't even have 35 hrs. on the BX...

Can I get some kind of amnesia pill to forget the whole experience?!

Keep the BX for a mower and get the tractor for real work !!!!

Just chalk it up to experience. You'll buy that B7510 (or the equivalent) in a few years...

Does your wife know about this other love in your life ? LOL

Sell the 1500 and buy something one notch up from the 7510. I bought our BX24 with the intent of keeping it forever. The only way I would replace it would be for a newer model of the same thing someday.

Personally if you are going to buy a tractor larger then something to just mow the lawn, anything less then a TLB is a waste of $$ to me.

Not but one thing to do about it. Don't play dumb. :D :D That $5500 delta and a few more C-notes will have the 7510 in your garage. Done deal.

I vote with KevinJ. Keep the BX1500. You'll need something to pull the wagon after you fill it with dirt/chips/compost/whatever using the B7510. Plus the wife can get the mowing done with the BX while you're out doing "man" things with the B.

Now you won't lose a nickel on the BX. See how easy that was? We're good at that here.

Go for the glory. At least get a B3030, don't fiddlefart around with a marginally bigger tractor. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing to excess :D

Go back to the fair and sit on an L series - you'll forget that B series instantly.

So, from what you guys recommend, an M9540 is about the smallest upgrade I ought to consider?
