Price Check BX-2660 Price Check

[AHNC]

While I could have saved a bit of dough by buying "further from the house", I bought local and am very pleased I did. I've had a lot of problems with the tires and the dealer has been spot on. Being a rookie tractor owner they have also been helpful in training. Local for me was worth a couple hundred bucks on my 2660, 60"mmm, loader and tiller. Yours seems like a fair price.

A couple hundred bucks would not sway me away from a local dealer. A thousand dollars certainly would.

If I read his post correctly, he went local and saved money. That's win-win. :thumbsup:

Local dealer 8 miles away was about $250 higher than another dealer 2 hours away. Wasn't worth it. Now I will probably have better service since I bought it from him. He's probably more likely to sway in my direction if there is a grey area on a warranty claim.

I just took delivery about 15 minutes ago. It's 40 and raining outside of course. No playtime for me this afternoon. I need to go back out to the barn and get the manual out of the seat. At least I can read about the controls this evening.

Congratulations, I feel your pain as it was raining the day mine was delivered.

Hey, it quit raining.. took a little firewood up to the house. Getting used to the foot controls is going to take a little time. On the other mower, the fwd and rev pedals were side by side. This one has the toe/heel thing going. The brake pedal is really high too compared to what I'm used to and you actually have to use it. On the mower, when you stepped off the direction pedals, it was almost like brakes. You stopped. This rolls on quite a bit and requires that you reach for the brake pedal.

Yup, the BX 60 series do indeed "run on". Actually, I came to like it. Enjoy your new BX.

Keep your loader low to the ground when you have weight in it and are moving. Also, pick up a box blade, back blade or whatever for leverage on the 3 pt. Really helps the whole teeter totter thing.

Same here; my wife was unhappy with the different pedal arrangement as well as "run on" between our old BX2200 and the BX2660 until she used it the first full day and we now both prefer the xx60 Series. We only need to use the brake however when parking.

Congratulations!!! I had a BX2350 that had the abrupt stop in reverse and traded it for a BX2660 with the slight run on. After using it a bit you'll get used to using the pedal to stop it and not use the brake. It's different than what you had and it just takes time to grasp the difference. :thumbsup:

That is adjustable in two places. There is a spring, but hard to get to, also a adjustable slot by the damper cyl. The manual tells you to see dealer.
