They are all sweet, just the bigger are sweeter. Sort of like the difference between a cupcake and a 3 layer chocolate cake. The cake has more than the cupcake ever will hope to have. I prefer the 3 layer over the cupcake.

Thanks for all of the input. You all have made my decision much more difficult (it was worth the extra brain cells), but I think I have decided to go with the B7800. It seems to be the right tractor for me and the price is where I wanted to be.

I know will take on the task of finding out what implements I will need. I definitely want a FEL and a finish mower. With a set up like this what are the prices I can expect? I'm going to call two dealers tomorrow and get their prices.

I paid ~$15,300 for the tractor and FEL - this is the HST, folding ROPS, Mid PTO, turfs and cruise. Compared to most I think I was on the high side, by about $500, but I wanted to deal local. My 60" Bush Hog RFM with safety chains was $1700.

Before you decide on a tractor , look at the B2910. For about $1500 more than the B7800, it really is a nice machine. It is the same frame and all, except that it has a plusher seat, which means a hell of a lot , especially after 4 or 5 hrs.
